KEY FEATURES
The B23 TURBO comes with a range of features and some options for optimal performance, comfort and safety.
SAFETY FIRST
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.
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.
TAKE IT ALL
Both wings of the B23 TURBO 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 230 kg of useful load left.
3-BLADED CONSTANT SPEED PROPPELER
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.

[OPTIONAL]
Upgrade your cockpit to be even more advanced and be fully ready for the future with ADS-B in/out.
Bristell B23 vs Bristell B23 Turbo
Sitting inside the BRISTELL B23 TURBO, there are only minor details that show you it’s not the normal B23. The biggest difference is under the hood.
This difference is very noticable during take-off, when you lift off in less than 200m and it continues to be noticable throughout the climb.
Thanks to the turbocharger, the B23 TURBO hardly loses any vertical speed and with over 1200 feet per minute, you’ll be at FL140 in no time!
Once straight and level, the airplane will accelerate to speeds in excess of 150 KTAS, getting you to where you want to go at high speed.
