Hi,
My plane is located at Danbury Airport in Connecticut. Can anyone recommend a good service shop in the general area for annuals and or repair?
Thank you!

One of the issues with Tecnam as a company is their absolute washing of their hands when you buy their plane: service centers, warranty repair shops, etc. are all on you.
I’m not from your area and there may be some great recommendations that follow. But if not you can try this:
What shops work on Rotax engines? You can find that out from Rotax, which keeps up with this pretty well.
Of those shops, have any of them done routine work on Tecnams or Flight Design aircraft?
If still no—check with local airplane maintenance shops and ask if any of them want your business—you can provide them the downloads of the service manuals which you—as a Tecnam owner—can download from the Tecnam site. The same with Rotax engine manuals. Together you will learn and you will finance that learning.
But as for help from Tecnam, outside of a handful of maintenance shops across the country that may do work on their airplanes (there are anecdotes that may or may not be true they have been screwed over on Warranty bills as well) you are on your own.
Perhaps one day Tecnam will change this.

Give us a couple of months of working on ours in Vermont and we might be able to help you out in the future. Were looking at becoming a Service Center in the North East |
