Fleet

Malta Wings flies four-seat Cessna 172 aircraft and the twin engine Tecnam P2006T. The aircraft can work from most airfields in Europe and North Africa.

• Tecnam P2006T 9H-PAT: Garmin G950 avionics, S-Tec 55x autopilot and a WX-500 Stormscope weather sensor.
• Tecnam P2006T 9H-MEP: the newest aircraft, with Garmin G1000 NXi avionics.
• Cessna 172: high wing aircraft with room for a pilot and three passengers.

The P2006T cruises at about 145 knots and has a range of about 650 nm. The twins are also used for advanced training and for multi-engine and instrument rating renewals.

Aerial survey work

The Cessna is well suited to photo work. It flies slowly, has high wings and can fly with the windows open. Past projects include a study of marine traffic south of the Maltese search and rescue area, a survey for BirdLife and an aerial photo shoot of Malta for National Geographic. Malta Wings is licensed by the Civil Aviation Directorate of Transport Malta for aerial survey and photo flights around Malta, North Africa and Europe.

Day trips to Sicily

Sicily is less than an hour away in the Tecnam. Flights can go to Catania, Comiso, Palermo or Trapani, and the pilot waits while passengers visit the city. The return flight can pass Mount Etna.
