TECNAM P2004 BRAVO Model Guide
TECNAM P2004 BRAVO · Model Guide
Overview
The TECNAM P2004 BRAVO is a two-seat, single-engine, high-wing light aircraft with fixed tricycle gear and a steerable nose wheel. It has a Rotax 912 ULS engine, a maximum takeoff weight of 450 kg and 100 litres of fuel. This guide uses the Italian flight manual (edition 2, 18 April 2008) and a pilot checklist.
- Two seats, 450 kg maximum takeoff weight and 289 kg empty weight, so payload is limited. Check the weighing record on any aircraft you consider.
- Rotax 912 ULS: 98.5 hp for 5 minutes maximum, 92.5 hp continuous. It runs on RON 95 or EN 228 premium fuel. AVGAS 100LL is for necessity only.
- Aerobatics, including spins, are prohibited. Maximum crosswind is 15 kts.
- The manual describes a fixed-pitch wood propeller, but the checklist has a pitch-control procedure. Confirm which propeller is fitted.

Are there document inconsistencies to check on the TECNAM P2004 BRAVO?
Yes. The flight manual lists a fixed-pitch wood propeller, but the checklist uses propeller manual/auto and low-pitch steps. The checklist low fuel pressure value (1.5 bar) also differs from the manual's 0.15 bar.

What it is and what it carries
Two-seat high-wing aircraft with a tapered cantilever wing, 8.4 m span and 11 m2 wing area. Maximum takeoff and landing weight are both 450 kg, with 289 kg empty weight. Two 50-litre wing tanks give 100 litres total, with a sediment bowl in the engine bay.
Engine and fuel
Rotax 912 ULS: four cylinders, 1352 cc, water-cooled heads, air-cooled cylinders, geared. Oil is 2.0 to 3.0 litres. Cylinder head limit is 135 C. Aviation-type engine oil is not permitted. Prolonged AVGAS 100LL use wears valve seats and deposits lead, so use it only when car fuel is unavailable.
What to check when buying
Pre-flight items include fluid leaks, engine mounting bolts and silent blocks, electrical wiring, and the fuel drain. Check the wing struts, leaf-spring gear and wheel fairings. Check the carburettor heat option and the propeller's pitch indicator light. Confirm the documents on board are the current flight manual.
Summary written by AI from the source document. Check the original before relying on it. See which parts of Sprinkle are written by AI.
Safety notes
- Do not fly aerobatics or spins. Permitted manoeuvres exclude the hammerhead (scampanata). Bank angle limit is 60 degrees.
- Carburettor icing: below 15 C in damp, rainy or foggy conditions, apply carburettor heat (optional) if power drops.
- Never use water on an engine fire and do not open the cowling until the fire is out.
