General description
All information here in applies to the Tecnam model P2008JC equipped with the engine
Rotax 912 S2.
The sleek and beautiful lines of the single-engine Tecnam P2008JC incorporate a level of
comfort, quality and efficiency that have made it the ideal touring aircraft. With its carbon-fiber
fuselage, metals wings and stabilator, the Tecnam P2008JC has a vast number of advantages over
traditional aircraft.
This combination of both composite material and metal has resulted in a more fuel
efficient and much quieter aircraft. Pilots appreciate the quality and security built into this
popular Tecnam design.
In service with many Flight Schools around the globe the P2008JC is recognised as a
state-of-the-art flight trainer and the most cost effective and environmentally friendly aircraft.
The single-engine Tecnam P2008JC's versatility and ease of use has established it as both
the aircraft of choice for Flight Training Organizations worldwide as well as recreational flyers.

Construction
The P2008JC has metal Wings and a metal stabilator. Tecnam chose metal wings and
stabilator structures for strength, reliability, and ability to flex in flight providing a more
comfortable ride. To produce the desired increase in cabin width and greater aerodynamic
efficiency, Tecnam chose carbon fiber.

The decision to utilize both materials was for the optimization of aerodynamic qualities,
flight characteristics, and reliability. This addition allows Tecnam to make decisions to be based on
design and structural integrity rather than purely the cost of production. The wing is based on the
well-known NACA63A airfoil, and through partial tapering, it is brought close to the optimal lift
distribution (elliptical). The Single-slot flaps extend along much of the wing span. The Frise type
aileron along with the taper design provides a high rate of roll. The all movable type (stabilator)
horizontal tail, traditional on Tecnam aircraft, allows excellent controllability and excellent “hands
off” longitudinal stability.

Landing Gear
The main springleaf landing gear, including wheels, tires and fairings, are the same as all of
the other non-retractable Tecnam models. This design has withstood the test of time and
extensive use in flight training environments. The newly designed nose gear is free castoring and
consists of a tubular steel leg, connected to the lower engine mount attachments and is braced by
an oleo pneumatic shock absorber that provides excellent ground load absorption. All of the
landing gear is faired to minimize drag, ground steering is by differential braking.

Powerplant and propeller

The powerplant and associated cowlings are similar to all of the existing Tecnam line with
few modifications. The P2008JC has higher fuel capacity than the existing line (55x2 lt - 14.5x2 Gal)
and tanks are installed in the wing box, behind the main spar. This is to preserve their integrity in
case of a crash landing and to minimize fire potential. The instrument panel size is increased to
match the additional cabin Width. It is modular in design and can accommodate the most
complete instrumentation.
