PIPISTREL ALPHA

-

The Alpha Trainer represents a special concept of economic training for pilots. Built on the solid pedigree of our extensive Sinus and Virus models product line-up, the Alpha Trainer combines quality with an affordable price. It offers convenient flying with no performanc­e setbacks; it is an efficient two-seat composite aircraft, which combines Pipistrel’s competitiv­e advantages, high-tech manufactur­ing and ease of use. Powered by the Rotax 912 80 HP engine it burns less than 9.5 litres (2.5 US gal) of ordinary mogas fuel per hour in the training role performing circuits. The cockpit is spacious, quiet and offers perfect communicat­ion between instructor and student. To tolerate student pilots, Pipistrel has built in a strong and durable undercarri­age, capable of accepting hard landings with good absorption.
