Most are listed in United Kingdom (1), followed by France (1) and Slovenia (1).

What should I check when buying a used Pipistrel Alpha?

On a used Pipistrel Alpha, check airframe hours, engine time since overhaul, avionics generation and damage history before anything else. PlaneFox recommends a pre-purchase inspection by an EASA Part-145 shop that knows the type, which typically costs EUR 1,500 to EUR 3,500. Under 1,500 airframe hours is low-time and above 3,500 means budgeting for higher maintenance; most piston engines run a 2,000-hour TBO, so past 1,500 to 1,700 hours since overhaul expect the overhaul within one to three years at EUR 25,000 to EUR 45,000. Read the full logbook history for prop strikes, gear-up landings and structural repair, and confirm ADs and SBs are complied with.

About the Pipistrel Alpha

Aircraft overview

The Pipistrel Alpha is a two seat light sport aircraft developed by Pipistrel in Slovenia as a simple, economical trainer and private touring aircraft. Introduced in 2012 as the Alpha Trainer, it was derived from Pipistrel’s low drag composite design family but simplified for flight school use, with fixed tricycle landing gear, a high wing, and an emphasis on low fuel burn and straightforward maintenance. It matters in the used market because it offers modern composite construction and very low operating costs in a category often dominated by older metal trainers.

Performance & specifications

Typical figures for the Pipistrel Alpha include a cruise speed of about 108 knots and a range of roughly 390 nautical miles, depending on loading, propeller, and operating profile. The aircraft is commonly powered by the 80 hp Rotax 912 series engine, driving a fixed pitch propeller. Maximum takeoff weight is in the light sport class, with useful load commonly quoted at about 500 lb. Published service ceiling is approximately 18,000 feet. The Alpha’s performance profile is not aimed at high speed travel, but at efficient local flying, primary instruction, and modest cross country use.

Cabin & avionics

The cabin seats two occupants side by side under a broad canopy, with a simple trainer oriented layout and good outward visibility. Buyers should expect a compact light sport cockpit rather than the cabin volume of a larger certified trainer. Avionics vary significantly by market and year. Many Alpha aircraft were delivered with basic VFR instrumentation, radio, transponder, engine monitoring, and optional glass cockpit equipment such as Dynon displays. Garmin G1000 and Garmin Perspective suites are not typical Alpha installations, as those systems are associated with larger certified aircraft and Cirrus models rather than this light sport trainer.

Buying & value

Used Pipistrel Alpha aircraft are typically evaluated on airframe condition, composite repair history, Rotax engine hours, gearbox and rubber component replacement status, propeller condition, landing gear wear, and the quality of logbooks. Flight school examples may have higher cycles, so inspection of doors, canopy, brakes, nose gear, and control linkages is important. Common differences include avionics fit, parachute equipment where installed, propeller type, and regional light sport compliance details. In current PlaneFox listing data, asking prices average around EUR 88,000, with a range of about EUR 80,000 to EUR 120,000. That positions the Alpha as a relatively recent, low operating cost alternative to aging two seat trainers, while still requiring careful attention to support, documentation, and local registration rules.
