Each day, the team at Aircraft For Sale picks an airplane that catches our attention because it is unique, represents a good deal, or has other interesting qualities. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.

Today’s Top Pick is a 2023 Pipistrel Alpha Trainer.

Some pilots, when looking for an economical two-place aircraft for personal travel, training or time-building, might start by looking for something like a Cessna 150 or even a vintage rag-and-tube taildragger. Others will go straight for something modern like the Pipstrel Alpha for sale today. The potential advantages include more advanced construction techniques and materials, lower airframe times and up-to-date avionics. And let’s not forget the operating cost.

While chugging along at five or six gallons per hour in an aircraft with a Continental O-200 or something similar up front is considered a good deal, a Rotax sipping three gallons per hour is worth a look. In addition to the low fuel burn, the Alpha offers contemporary aerodynamics and numerous features that boost overall efficiency compared with older models.

This 2023 Pipistrel Alpha Trainer has 327 hours on the airframe and on its Rotax 912 UL2 engine since new. The VFR panel features Garmin G3X 460/5 Touch avionics with a 10.6-inch screen for PFD and MFD, a Garmin G5 backup with battery pack, G3X autopilot, Garmin GNX 375 navigator and transponder with 2-inch touchscreen, GNC 255A nav/com radio, GTR 200 com, GMA 245R audio panel, slip and skid indicator and a magnetic compass. The aircraft comes with custom engine cowl and cockpit covers, and two headsets.

Pilots looking for an extremely economical training or time-building airplane, or a light traveling machine, should consider this 2023 Pipistrel Alpha, which is available for $150,000 on AircraftForSale.
