Bristell B23

B23-912iS

EFFICIENT.
ACCESSIBLE.

The B23-912iS is the naturally aspirated entry point to the B23 platform – designed for reliability, simplicity and cost-efficient operation. With a 100hp Rotax engine and strong useful load, it delivers predictable handling and low fuel burn, making it ideal for high-frequency flight training environments and private owners focused on operating economics.

B23-915iS

MORE POWER.
MORE FLEXIBILITY.

Powered by the turbocharged Rotax 915iS, this variant introduces increased performance and operational flexibility – including IFR capability. With stronger climb performance and higher cruise speed, it expands the B23’s mission from circuit training into cross-country and instrument-ready operations.

B23-915IFR

FULLY IFR.
NO LIMITS.

With full IFR certification including IMC operations, the B23-915 IFR moves beyond limitation into true capability. With EASA approval removing previous limitations, it delivers true instrument capability for both training and private operations. One of the few aircraft in its category offering full IFR in real conditions, it combines modern avionics, efficiency and operational flexibility — making it a powerful platform for IFR training and all-weather flying.

B23-916iS

MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE.
FULL CAPABILITY.

The B23-916iS represents the highest performance option in the range. Featuring the turbocharged 160hp Rotax 916iS, it delivers the strongest cruise speeds and climb performance while retaining the B23’s core training characteristics – with IFR availability for full operational capability.
