No. That model of iPad uses the 2nd generation Apple Pencil.

No, you cannot use a first generation Apple Pencil with an iPad Air4.

The first and second generation Pencil use an entirely different pairing and charging interface. A second generation Pencil is used with iPad models that have the magnetic/inductive dock that is exclusively designed for the Pencil - such as the Air4. Charging is controlled via the iPad magnetic dock; the second generation Pencil cannot be charged using a charging mat or Qi charging solutions.

The first generation Apple Pencil uses the physical Lightning port of compatible models of iPad for both pairing and charging the first generation Pencil. This pencil can only be used with iPad models that have a Lightning connector.

In summary, the Apple Pencil models are not interchangeable - and can only be used with the iPad that has appropriate internal hardware.
