About the Pipistrel ALPHA TRAINER
The Pipistrel Alpha Trainer is a fixed-gear, Rotax 912-powered Light Sport two-seater designed as a low-cost trainer and time-builder. Derived from the Virus airframe but simplified (fixed gear, fixed-pitch prop), it is one of the most economical ways to train or build hours — very low fuel burn, light controls and a modern composite airframe. It competes with the Cessna 162, Tecnam P2002 and Flight Design CT in the LSA trainer market.

- Logbook completeness — continuous, gap-free maintenance records protect value.
- Damage history — any prior accident or incident; cross-check the registration against accident databases.
