Tecnam Astore
Everything here is true of every aircraft of the type, not of any one aircraft.
The Tecnam Astore is Tecnam's 2013 low-wing light-sport two-seater, named for the company's 1948 P48 Astore: a metal airframe with a composite cowl, canopy and interior styled for the private owner rather than the school, a Rotax 912ULS, 912iS or turbocharged 914, 1,323 lb gross, a 35-knot stall and 1,200 fpm.
The Astore is the upmarket Sierra - leather, Garmin or Dynon glass, a 914 option - and it is bought as a two-seat tourer rather than a trainer, so examples tend to be low-time and privately owned. No empty weight or cruise figure could be sourced in this research, so the aircraft's own weight-and-balance and the engine fitted decide what it carries and how fast it goes; a 914 example is quicker at altitude and has a turbocharger to maintain. The 1,323 lb gross is the light-sport legal limit. As an S-LSA it is maintained to Tecnam's manual by an A&P or LSA repairman; Tecnam's dealer network supports it.

- Each of the five categories places the model within its peer class, from 0 (the worst of the class) to 10 (the best): a position among comparable models, not a grade. The overall score is the sum of the categories shown that are scored, out of 10 for each (50 when all five are); it is given only when at least 4 of the five are scored, and it can be set against another model's only when both are in the same peer class and scored on the same categories. When accident record and severity cannot be scored because the model has too few records, the other three give a partial score out of 30, labelled as such; it is never set against a full score.
