The Tecnam Astore is a two seat, low wing light sport aircraft from Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam of Italy. Introduced in 2013 and delivered from the mid 2010s, it was developed as a stylish, factory built LSA for private owners, flying clubs and training organizations that wanted modern handling with low operating costs. It is distinct from Tecnam’s high wing P92 and from the P2002 Sierra, although it shares the company’s familiar all metal construction philosophy and Rotax powered efficiency. For buyers, the Astore matters because it combines LSA category simplicity with a more tour oriented cockpit and contemporary avionics options.
Typical Astore performance is in line with the upper end of the LSA class. Cruise speeds are commonly quoted around 115 to 120 knots, subject to propeller, engine fit and operating weight. Maximum takeoff weight is 1,320 lb in the U.S. light sport category, with useful load varying by equipment fit and installed options. Range is typically planned in the several hundred nautical mile class, with many operators using about 500 nautical miles as a practical trip planning figure. The service ceiling is commonly listed at 14,000 feet. Power is normally from a 100 hp Rotax 912 series engine, including carbureted 912 ULS or fuel injected 912 iS installations, driving a fixed pitch or ground adjustable propeller depending on specification.
The Astore seats two side by side under a wide canopy, with conventional dual controls and a cabin intended for personal touring as well as instruction. Baggage capacity is modest, so buyers should check actual weight and balance with typical occupants, fuel and luggage. Avionics vary considerably by year and customer order. Many examples were delivered with modern glass cockpit equipment, commonly Garmin G3X based, while some aircraft may have Dynon SkyView or mixed VFR panels. Autopilot, transponder type, ADS-B compliance, engine monitoring and backup instruments should be verified aircraft by aircraft.
Used Tecnam Astore aircraft usually sit in the premium LSA segment, above basic legacy trainers but below larger certified four seat aircraft. Condition, avionics fit and engine history drive value more than cosmetic trim. Buyers should review Rotax logbooks, gearbox and rubber component compliance, propeller records, service bulletins, canopy condition, brake wear and any training use. Important upgrades can include fuel injected Rotax power, Garmin G3X Touch equipment, ADS-B Out, autopilot and refreshed interior trim. A careful pre purchase inspection should confirm empty weight, useful load and registration category, since LSA utility depends heavily on the individual aircraft’s equipment list.
