Here are some images of the editor’s flight test of the Vulcanair v1.0 today in a flight from Naples (LIRN) to Pontecagnano (LIRI) and back via the Sorrento VOR. There were turbulent and windy conditions making for a real test of this Italian high wing offering with a 180hp engine and constant speed unit.
The man in the orange is Andrea, the chief test pilot for Vulcanair who was our guide today.
If you are a flight training organisation looking for a well-priced and tough fleet replacement aircraft that can stand up to the demands of an Australian flight school, then this Garmin G500 equipped, IFR certified, four-seater, which just received its CASA approval, may well be worth a close look when the demonstrator (which AOPA PILOT AUSTRALIA saw under construction in the factory) lands in Australia later this year.
For the full report read the Aug-Sep issue of AOPA PILOT AUSTRALIA magazine.
