About the Zenair CH 2000

The Zenair CH 2000 is a Canadian-designed two-seat light sport and ultralight kit aircraft that has attracted builders worldwide since its introduction in the 1990s. Developed by Zenair Ltd (formerly Zenith Aircraft Company of Canada), the CH 2000 represents an evolution of designer Chris Heintz's philosophy of simple, rugged, all-metal construction accessible to amateur builders. The aircraft features a distinctive high-wing configuration with full-span flaperons, tricycle landing gear, and side-by-side seating under a bubble canopy that provides exceptional visibility.

Powered typically by Rotax 912 series engines producing 80-100 horsepower, the CH 2000 delivers respectable cruise speeds around 110 knots while maintaining docile low-speed handling characteristics that make it suitable for short-field operations. Its stall speed of just 35 knots with flaps deployed and relatively light wing loading give it genuine short takeoff and landing capability, appealing to recreational pilots seeking access to grass strips and backcountry airfields. The type's modular kit construction and straightforward systems have made it popular among first-time builders, though like most kit aircraft, individual examples can vary significantly in equipment, finish quality, and performance depending on builder choices and engine selection.
