Avionics & Technology

Garmin glass comes with the engine.

The fuel-injected engine is monitored through a Garmin G3X Touch display, so at least one G3X is always on board. A dual G3X Touch panel with GMC 507 autopilot is available for long, low-workload legs.

Dual glass cockpit (Garmin G3X Touch)

Optional

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.

Analog flight and engine instruments

Standard

Analog flight instruments (airspeed, altitude, vertical speed, compass) plus analog engine gauges, the standard panel on the UL/LSA base aircraft. A simple, familiar layout popular for ab-initio training and pilots who prefer a serviceable panel. Glass can replace or supplement it.

Garmin GMC 507

Autopilot with LEVEL button (Garmin GMC 507)

Optional

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.

Operating Economics

Travel fast, burn less.

Fuel injection cuts consumption by up to 30% versus carbureted engines, and retractable gear turns that efficiency into range beyond 1,400 km (755 NM).

Refuelling a Bristell with MOGAS at a fuel station

MOGAS + AVGAS Compatible

All Rotax engines run on both MOGAS RON 95 and AVGAS 100LL. MOGAS saves up to 30% on fuel cost — and is available almost anywhere.
