Allegro Aircraft 2000

Single Piston

The Allegro 2000 is a light-sport aircraft designed and manufactured by Allegro Aircraft, a small American manufacturer specializing in affordable recreational flying machines. Certified under the FAA's LSA category introduced in 2004, the Allegro 2000 represents the democratization of personal aviation: purpose-built to meet the 1,320-pound maximum weight limit and simplified licensing requirements that opened flying to a broader audience. The type features a single piston engine and typically seats two occupants side-by-side in an enclosed cockpit, offering a practical balance between performance and economy for weekend pilots and flight training operations. With a never-exceed speed around 120 knots and a stall speed in the mid-30s, the Allegro 2000 operates in the same performance envelope as classic trainers like the Cessna 150 but benefits from modern composite construction techniques and updated avionics. The aircraft's low operating costs and maintenance requirements make it attractive for private owners seeking an entry point into aviation without the expense of certified aircraft. Its light-sport certification means pilots can fly it with just a sport pilot certificate and a valid driver's license in lieu of an FAA medical certificate, significantly lowering barriers to recreational flying. SkyMeter has tracked 11 flights across 5 airframes and 4 operators, with GEESEY DOUGLAS J the largest observed operator.
