Questions & answers
Can our own mechanics maintain the fleet?
“Yes. AFM, AMM and IPC documentation is available, and the Rotax engine is supported by the global Rotax service network.”
What fuel do the aircraft need?
“MOGAS or AVGAS. The Rotax engines are not tied to 100LL.”
Can we fly one before deciding?
“Yes — book a demo flight and we will arrange a factory or dealer aircraft near you.”
Are you working on an electric trainer?
“Yes — the all-electric Energic is in development. It is an experimental programme today.”
Which Bristell models can tow gliders?
“Five models have an approved glider capacity — the Bristell Classic 912iS (gliders up to 700 kg / 1,543 lbs), Classic 915iS (up to 800 kg / 1,764 lbs), Classic 916iS (up to 850 kg / 1,874 lbs), Bristell B23-915iS (up to 800 kg / 1,764 lbs) and Bristell B23-916iS (up to 850 kg / 1,874 lbs).”
How well does a Bristell climb on tow?
“Initial climb at max continuous power, with the glider at the approved towing weight for that model: 3.6 m/s (714 fpm) on the Classic 915iS and Classic 916iS, 3.0 m/s (595 fpm) on the B23-915iS and B23-916iS, and 1.8 m/s (355 fpm) on the Classic 912iS.”
Do you offer a tow hook or a winch?
“Both — a fixed tow hook, available across the towing range, or an aircraft-mounted Tost tow winch, certified on the B23-915iS and the B23-916iS. Both are factory options.”
Is the towing kit standard equipment?
“It is a factory option on the aircraft price list — tell us your operation and we will quote the configuration.”
What fuel does the tug need?
“Rotax engines run on unleaded MOGAS (min. 95 RON) or AVGAS 100LL — your tug isn't tied to leaded fuel.”
Is the Bristell B23-915 IFR approved for flight in IMC?
“Yes. The B23-915 IFR is approved for IFR operations in IMC under EASA CS-23.”
May the B23-915 IFR fly into icing conditions?
“No. Flight into known icing conditions is prohibited, as it is for other single-engine aircraft in this class.”
Is the IFR certification complete, or is something still in progress?
“Complete under EASA CS-23. The final element, protection against direct lightning strike, was approved by EASA in April 2026. FAA Part 23 type certification of this variant is separate and still in progress.”
