Why Bristell? Built for the demands of daily training operations
Every Bristell aircraft is engineered to deliver maximum uptime, minimal maintenance, and the lowest cost per flight hour in its class — exactly what modern flight academies need.
Dramatically Lower Fuel Costs
ROTAX engines consume just 3.5–4.5 GPH (13–17 l/h) compared to 8–10 GPH (30–38 l/h) on legacy Lycoming engines. Certified for both MOGAS and AVGAS, giving you fuel flexibility and significant savings on every flight hour.
Minimal Downtime
100-hour maintenance checks completed in half a day versus 2–3 days on legacy fleet. With up to 2,000-hour TBO and simplified engine systems, your aircraft spends more time flying and earning.
Uncompromising Safety
BRS ballistic parachute rescue system as standard, plus outstanding flight characteristics that are stable, responsive, and forgiving. Students build confidence faster, instructors teach with peace of mind.
Garmin Glass Cockpit
Full Garmin avionics suite with G3X Touch and synthetic vision technology. Students train on the same glass cockpit they'll encounter in commercial aviation, from day one.
Rugged Reliability
Rigid all-metal construction with heavy-duty wing spars and robust landing gear, built for the demands of intensive daily training. The widest cockpit in class at 51" (130 cm) provides comfort and visibility for both seats.
Smart Flight Analysis
Integrated FlySto platform processes avionics logs instantly. Takeoff, cruise, and landing metrics visualized in 2D, 3D, and cockpit view. Data-driven training that accelerates student progress.
Choose the right Bristell for your academy
From simulator sessions to solo flights, from ab-initio to advanced IFR. A complete training ecosystem under one brand you can trust. Models available with EASA CS-23 and FAA Part 23 certification, all MOSAIC-ready.
