Textron’s Pipistrel introduced the Voyager training airplane today at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. The two-seat Voyager—base price €240,000 ($274,000)—is designed to meet the FAA’s MOSAIC performance-based certification regulations.

Resembling the Pipistrel Alpha trainer, a light-sport-aircraft design that is limited to a 1,320-pound mtow and 120-knot top speed, the all-composite Voyager will have an mtow of 1,389 pounds and a useful load of 552 pounds. Powered by a 100-hp Rotax 912 ULS piston engine, the Voyager can fly 740 nm with IFR reserves and can be used for instrument training, including in instrument meteorological conditions. Pipistrel will obtain spin certification so flight instructor candidates can obtain the required spin training.
