Bristell will be exhibiting at the 17th Annual FSANA International Flight School Operators Conference & Trade Show (details), the premier event for flight school owners, operators, and instructors across North America.
Why Flight Schools Choose Bristell
Visit our booth to discover why training academies worldwide are switching to Bristell. Our aircraft deliver up to 40% lower operating costs compared to legacy fleets, thanks to fuel-efficient Rotax engines consuming just 3.5–4.5 GPH with MOGAS/AVGAS flexibility. The all-metal airframe with 2,000-hour TBO and simplified 100-hour maintenance checks means more time in the air and less time in the hangar.
The widest cockpit in class at 51 inches provides real comfort for both student and instructor during long training days, and a full Garmin glass cockpit ensures your students train on the same avionics technology they’ll use throughout their careers. Every Bristell comes with the option of a BRS ballistic parachute rescue system, outstanding flight characteristics that build student confidence faster, and FADEC engine control that simplifies power management so students can focus on flying. Add FlySto smart flight analysis for data-driven debriefs after every session, and you have a complete training platform, not just an airplane.
Bristell on the MOSAIC – LSA Panel
Our Vice President of Sales for USA & Canada, David Copeland, will participate in the MOSAIC – LSA panel on Thursday, February 26, where he’ll discuss how Bristell’s MOSAIC-ready lineup is built to take full advantage of the new FAA rules, expanding what’s possible for flight schools in terms of aircraft capability, training scope, and operational flexibility.
The Future of Training: Bristell B23 Energic
At our booth you’ll also meet representatives from H55, the Swiss electric propulsion company born from the Solar Impulse project. Together we’re bringing the Bristell B23 Energic — the first purpose-built electric trainer for flight schools.
Don’t miss the Electric Aircraft Session, added to the FSANA agenda on Friday, February 27, at 11:00 AM. H55 will take the stage to share the latest on certified electric propulsion technology and what it means for flight school operations. It’s the perfect complement to what you’ll see at our booth.
Meet Our Team and US Dealer Network
Members of our authorized US dealer network will be on site as well, ready to talk fleet integration, regional support, and the real-world experience of operating Bristell aircraft day in, day out.
