A New Standard in Efficiency and Performance.
The Rotax 912 iS Sport brings electronic fuel injection and single-lever power to the EASA CS-23 certified B23 trainer. Up to 30% lower fuel burn than carbureted engines, with BRS parachute standard. The efficiency choice for schools and cost-conscious owners.
Same durable all-metal shell, smarter powerplant. The bubble canopy gives all-round visibility, and the 130 cm (51 in) cockpit remains the widest in its class.
Dual Garmin G3X Touch glass, GMC 507 autopilot and ADS-B In and Out as standard, paired with Single Lever Power Control (SLPC). Fewer levers and lower workload for students and owners. Certified for Night VFR. The optional Garmin GTN 650Xi adds IFR-capable GPS navigation to the panel, but the aircraft is not IFR certified — the certified IFR platform in the B23 line is the B23-915 IFR.
Two Garmin G3X Touch glass displays showing flight instruments, moving map and full engine monitoring. Touch control with physical knobs as backup, so the pilot is not fighting a touchscreen in turbulence.
Garmin GMC 507 autopilot with a dedicated Blue LEVEL button that returns the aircraft to wings-level flight at a single push. It handles the routine legs to cut pilot workload, and the pilot stays in command for the parts that matter.
Garmin GNC 215A NAV/COM radio for communication and VOR navigation, a certified backup to GPS navigation.
Touchscreen GPS, NAV and COM navigator with LPV approach capability for instrument approaches down to near-precision minimums.
B23 is certified for Night VFR with the glass cockpit, autopilot and lighting to support it. On UL/LSA models night flying is a build-up option, not a certification.
Garmin Flight Stream 510 linking the panel to a tablet for wireless flight- plan transfer, weather and traffic with ForeFlight or Garmin Pilot.
Electronically fuel-injected Rotax 912 iS Sport with FADEC engine management and a 2,000-hour TBO. No carburettor icing, automatic mixture, easier starts and up to 30% lower fuel burn than carbureted engines.
Hydraulic constant-speed · 3-blade · matched to the Rotax 912 iS Sport
A hydraulic three-blade MT-Propeller constant-speed unit. It holds the optimal blade angle across climb and cruise for smooth, predictable handling.
Standard BRS whole-aircraft parachute on a benign-handling, all-metal airframe — the same safety margins as every B23.
Ballistic parachute that lowers the entire aircraft under a canopy in an emergency. Works within a defined minimum altitude and speed envelope.
Benign, forgiving handling with gentle stall characteristics and no sudden wing drop, which gives the pilot time to react. Well suited to training and lower-time pilots.
4-point AmSafe restraint system for both occupants on premium leather seats — better restraint and load distribution in a hard landing or impact.
AT1 active traffic unit that shows surrounding traffic directly on the glass cockpit, independent of ADS-B coverage.
Garmin transponder with ADS-B In and Out. Displays nearby traffic and makes the aircraft visible to ATC and other aircraft. Meets the FAA 2020 ADS-B Out mandate.
406 MHz emergency locator transmitter that signals the aircraft's position to search-and-rescue satellites after a hard landing or crash.
Whelen wing strobes and navigation lights that keep the aircraft visible to other traffic, day and night.
Dedicated backup battery (IBBS) that keeps the glass cockpit powered during an alternator or electrical failure.
Independent standby display that keeps attitude, airspeed and altitude available if the main glass display fails. Garmin GI 275 on B23, G5 on UL/LSA.
All-metal aircraft structure that deforms predictably under load and shows damage on the surface, unlike composite where damage can stay hidden. Fatigue behavior is predictable and well understood.
Aithre cockpit carbon monoxide monitor that warns of CO before it affects the pilot.
