Alpi Pioneer 400

Wilco Aviation is pleased to exclusively offer for sale this immaculate Pioneer 400, currently located at our home base at Henstridge Airfield in the South West of the United Kingdom. This aircraft is a genuine four-seat light sport aircraft that blends a cruising speed of 120 knots with excellent short-field performance and superb visibility. Boasting an impressive avionics suite, a comprehensive specification, low engine hours, and exceptionally low propeller hours, it represents an outstanding opportunity for the discerning pilot.

The Pioneer 400 is a low-wing monoplane featuring a trapezoidal planform wing, swept only on the trailing edge, and fitted with winglets at the tips. Its wing structure is made of wood with a single box spar, covered in pre-preg carbon fibre. The ailerons span about half the wing, while the inboard sections are equipped with slotted flaps. Both the ailerons and flaps are fabric covered.

The fuselage and tail section also use a wooden structure with a carbon fibre skin. Power is provided by a 73.5 kW (100 hp) Rotax 912iS flat-four engine, which drives a variable-pitch propeller. The cabin is located over the wing and features two pairs of side-by-side seats. Access is via two upward-opening doors, and there is a baggage compartment located behind the rear seats. The tail assembly has straight-edged, swept vertical surfaces and a long dorsal strake. The horizontal stabilisers are roughly trapezoidal in shape, with a straight leading edge. Both the rudder and elevators are fabric covered; the rudder is balanced, and both it and the port elevator are fitted with trim tabs.

This aircraft is equipped with retractable tricycle landing gear; although when retracted, the nose-wheel remains partially exposed. All Airworthiness Directives and Service Bulletins have been complied with.

The aircraft accommodates a single pilot and up to three passengers. It has a length of 7.00 metres and a wingspan of 8.80 metres, with a wing area of 11.20 square metres. The empty weight is 449 kilograms and the maximum take-off weight is 800 kilograms. It is powered by a single Rotax 912iS flat-four engine producing 100 horsepower and driving a two-blade variable pitch propeller.

In terms of performance, the aircraft has a maximum speed of 250 km/h, cruises at 220 km/h, and stalls at 82 km/h. The never-exceed speed is 278 km/h. It offers a range of 900 kilometres at 75% power and a service ceiling of 6,000 metres. The best glide ratio is 13:1. The rate of climb at sea level reaches 7.62 metres per second, and the take-off and landing run is approximately 280 metres.
