The Aviones de Colombia AC-05 Pijao is an agricultural aircraft manufactured in Colombia in the 1990s. It was developed to fill a gap in the local market after Cessna discontinued production of the Cessna 188 that Aviones de Colombia (Aviodeco for short) had been assembling and supporting. Although the Pijao resembles the Cessna 188 in appearance and role, it was, at least to some degree, a new design. "Pijao" is the name of an indigenous people of Colombia.
