Review Pipistrel Virus121 SW the most advanced and affordable 2-seat EASA Type-certified airplane in its category.
Capable of glider towing, night VFR, with intentional spinning approvals and capable of advanced UPRT training,
Robust performance and field-proven experience - this is the official trainer of Indian Airforce, Navy and NCC. It cruises at 2 NM per minute, climbs at 1000 fpm, is complex and full auto pilot

I built a full motion VR simulator using Microsoft Flight Simulator premium edition - this is the only aircraft I fly now in the sim. Maybe someday fly the real thing. I think I watched every KZfaq video on the Pipistrel!

Hi thanks for watching. I hope you do indeed get the chance to fly the Pipistel in real life. Too bad you don't live in the Netherlands, otherwise you could get a trial lesson. By the way, I hope to make a video about the Pipistrel Alpha Trainer soon.

We just picked up a 2023 Sinus ATC designation "PISI" she pissies all over the fuel spectrum! Our 80 HP Rotax at 55% power keeps us top of the green at 88 knots indicated burning 2.2 gallons per hour. 8 liters per hour for our lovely non US aviation buffs. 25 gallon tank so only about 11 hours duration and that is without gliding. Build your hours for the airlines efficiently and have some great stories to bring to the airline interviewers!

@@TheFlyingDutchgirl Wonderful, vliegend nederlands meisje, but that is no surprise; while it is a big saving, more significant questions are: is, Is that particular Rotax fuel-injected? (eliminating the possibility of carb ice, and potential off-field landings) does that particular Rotax have automatic mixture control? And most importantly, if all the previous are satisfied, can it be certified for IFR? If the last is "no," then it loses 90% of its attractiveness here in the USA.

According to my calculations I can have 2 normal sized adults of 75 kg (165 lbs) full fuel (100 liters) and 23 kg (50 lbs) of baggage to get to 600 kg MTOM. Its an aircraft in the LSA class. Maybe you should buy an A380?

It's okay with the virus. The Pipistrel Alpha Trainer suffers a bit more from it. It is generally very good. Unless you get into turbulence. But every plane suffers from this to a greater or lesser extent.

A huge part of being a good pilot is situational awareness. Not paying attention to one's surroundings while being the PIC because you're taking a nap, filing your nails etc is very irresponsible even if the auto pilot is on. So to promote such irresponsible behavior may sound cute in a sophomoric way to a middle aged woman, but it's really not cute at all.
