BRISTELL by BRM AERO, a leading manufacturer of light sport aircraft, announcing a significant milestone. The BRISTELL B23-915 IFR is engineered as a premier solution for Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) training, blending advanced avionics, robust performance, and compliance with rigorous international standards. This aircraft not only meets European CS-23 requirements, but also provides a cost-efficient platform for comprehensive flight training.




Equipped with a modern dual glass cockpit, the BRISTELL B23-915 IFR incorporates Garmin G500TXi and G3 X Touch displays.

This sophisticated cockpit setup is ideal for IFR certification training, enabling students to develop their skills using the same advanced tools found in today’s aviation industry.


"Certification confirms the exceptional qualities of the B23 and its readiness for IFR flying", says Milan Bristela, founder of BRISTELL.
All BRISTELL aircraft feature superior flight characteristics, enhanced safety systems, and roomy cockpits designed to reduce pilot fatigue during longer flights. The entire production process, including airframe manufacturing, is handled 100% in-house, ensuring top-tier quality control and attention to detail.
"In developing the B23, we not only tackled the most demanding flight conditions but also prioritized the safety of our passengers by integrating a state-of-the-art ballistic parachute system", explains Martin Bristela, CEO of BRISTELL.
