BRISTELL B23

EASA CS23 certified BRISTELL B23

Aircraft Company Europe is the dealer for the BRISTELL B23 in the Netherlands. It is an ideal trainer and a very comfortable airplane for traveling. The B23 is easy to control and remains stable throughout its speed range. The views in this aircraft are endless and the cockpit provides you with all the comfort and convenience you could expect from a small plane. With 130 cm, it provides you with the widest cabin in a 2-seater on the market, giving you a comfortable seat and a feeling of spaciousness without a penalty to the fuel consumption; cruising with 100 KIAS at less than 20 liters per hour. 

A maximum take-off mass at 750 kg make this two-seater an honest two-seater: full tanks (120 liters), bagage and 2 adults can actually be combined without trouble.  The ROTAX 912 s3 allows both AVGAS and also MOGAS  (Euro 98 (E5)), for lower operating costs, without having to stop at sun set. The B23 is Night VFR-certified and ordering is open to IFR certified aircraft as well. Because safety is of the utmost importance, the B23 has been outfitted and certified with a ballistic rescue system. However, the aircraft is also certified without this parachute, if you opt for not having one. The steerable nosewheel and differential braking on the main gear, ensure that B23 is also agile and controllable on the ground.  This aircraft handles any runway (or taxiway) surface with ease.

Advanced AVIONICS AS BASIC EQUIPMENT

The Night VFR version is equipped with two Garmin G3X touchscreens met SyntheticVision, 
Garmin GNC255 communication and navigation radio, Garmin GMC507 auto pilot with
LEVEL button and L3 stand-by instruments.

Bristell B23 is versatile

Training

Stable at all speeds, low stall and landing speeds and a MTOM allowing students both big and small. Low operating costs due to MOGAS and Rotax 912 engine.

Pleasure Flights

Limitlessly enjoy the best view through a seamless window. Fly to and from small airstrips effertlessly. Drinking coffee on Texel has never been this comfortable. 

Traveling

With a useful load of 300 kg, you can fully load up both the airplane and the tanks, to travel through Europe (and beyond) on style and comfort, with convenience of an auto pilot and modern avionics.

BRISTELL B23 IN a Nutshell

“The perfect trainer for any flight school”. This airplane not only looks beautiful and elegant, it has been made with a great eye for details. This is best witness from up close. Beware: everyone that experiences the B23 in-flight, instantly falls in love with the aircraft. You’ll be wanting more and more! Here’s why:

  • ROTAX 912 s3, provides 100 hp and low operating costs

Key Features

The B23 comes with a range of features and some options for optimal performance, comfort and safety.

SAFETY FIRST

The BRISTELL B23 is certified both with and without a balistic parachute. As a standard, the B23 comes fitted with a balistic rescue system from BRS, the same company that provides the parachutes for e.g. Cirrus aircraft.

CONVENIENCE UP HIGH

Cross country flying will be easier and safer with an extra “pilot” on board. The modern and advanced Garmin auto pilot with GMC 507 mode control panel offers an easy interface and full control. Additionally, with one press on the blue LVL button, you’ll be (back) flying straight and level.

TAKE IT ALL

Both wings of the B23 provide you with a bagage compartment, allowing 20 kg of bagage each. Behind the seats you van store an additional 15 kg, totalling 55 kg of bagage allowance. And then you still have 245 kg of useful load left.

MOST SPACIOUS COCKPIT IN ITS CLASS

Even with two full-grown adults you’ll experience a comfortable flight, thanks to the uniquely spacious cockpit. The seamless window in the canopy makes you feel like you’re sitting outside, adding to the spacious feeling of flying a B23.

3-BLADED VARIABLE PITCH PROPPELER

The B23 always comes equiped with a hydraulically adjustable 3-bladed variable pitch proppeler to get the most out of your Rotax 912 in both cruise and climb. 

FULLY IN CONTROL, ALSO ON THE GROUND

Use your rudder pedals to control the nose wheel during taxying and stay in full control on the ground.  For those extra tight turns, the B23 provides you with differential braking.

GARMIN GNX 375

[OPTIONAL]
Upgrade your cockpit to be even more advanced and be fully ready for the future with ADS-B in/out.

CERTIFIED MUFFLER

[OPTIONAL]
With this EASA-certified muffler, the B23 becomes even quieter.
