Having lived in Fairbanks, AK and had a GF who worked for the FAA. At Fairbanks Airport there is a lake so planes can land and then taxi up to the tarmac to load up again. Even Sam's Clubs flies their stuff up to you. The are more small planes registered in AK then any other state.
Comparable cost, speed and range, and the Caravan has approximately 50% more cargo capacity. Of course, there are other factors to consider. I imagine the Tecnam's operating costs are significantly lower. Both great aircraft!
What an awesome:
- Location
- Aircraft
- Video
- Company
Completely randomly stumbled on this video but now I really want to take the gentleman up on his offer and go visit 😂
As long as maintenance stays ahead of the niggles will work well.
One of the best twin engine Airplane!

Tecnam planes: made by a true italian genius, thank you mr. Pascale!
Genuine question: isn’t a single turboprop more reliable than a piston twin overall?
the best plane for remote population
Shame about the distracting background music
Yeah I'm not so sure id take this over a caravan....

If there’s not a lot of landing spots, I’d take this over a caravan. Plenty of PT-6 failures every year.
