Description
Flight training The Bristell 915iS Mosaic is the ultimate light sport trainer and is becoming the first choice for Sport Pilot, PPL, and ab initio flight training. The 130 cm cabin gives instructors and students enough shoulder room to work comfortably for hours, with full glass instrumentation and a control layout designed for ab initio progression. Flight schools across the U.S. operate Bristells in fleet configurations — and with the new MOSAIC framework, the operational envelope is wider than ever for primary training. Czech craftsmanship Hand-built in Kunovice by BRM Aero, the Bristell combines all-metal precision with the widest cabin in its class — 130 cm of shoulder room, Bentley leather upholstery, and a panoramic bubble canopy. Every airplane is configured to order: 15+ original paint schemes, instrument panel layouts, interior fabric and stitching, and optional features from sliding ventilation windows to BRS rescue. The result is a light sport airplane that looks and feels closer to a custom touring aircraft than a trainer. Powered by Rotax The turbocharged 141 hp Rotax 915iS delivers full takeoff power up to 15,000 feet and a service ceiling of 23,000 feet — paired with FADEC engine management and a constant-speed propeller. The 915iS holds the best power-to-weight ratio in its class and is fully certified for both Mogas (95+ octane) and Avgas 100LL, giving flight schools real fuel flexibility. Expect the high-altitude performance of a much heavier airplane, in a 1,653-pound MOSAIC-ready airframe.
