Well Established Aviation Company Adds Bristell Aircraft To Its Line-Up
Bristell Aircraft has officially accepted the appointment to represent an exciting light sport aircraft in North America. Even though the light sport category is relatively new to general aviation, Bristell Aircraft’s approach to the market is something completely fresh and unique among a field of aircraft importers, distributors and dealers.
Bristell Aircraft is an American company whose roots go deep into the highly-structured world of FAA-certified aircraft. Headed by Lou Mancuso, Bristell Aircraft worked directly with the manufacturer to develop, customize and standardize the aircraft specifically for the North American market.
Mancuso said “We are excited to introduce American aviators to this exceptional aircraft. In our flight schools we have owned and operated several brands of LSA. Without doubt the Bristell is the very best”. Milan Bristela, the aircraft’s designer said “we are delighted to have the breadth of expertise and depth of resources that Lou’s team brings to Bristell and North America”.
Conceived from the ground up for American Aviators, designer Milan Bristela’s creation has the widest and most comfortable cockpit available. At 51” the cabin is wider than a Cirrus SR22. Bristela focused on making the aircraft extremely comfortable, easy to fly and with enviable performance and stability. With a 600 pound useful load, two people can easily take off with full fuel and still have room for luggage. Equipped with the Rotax 912iS, the Bristell has a range of 600 nautical miles. In Bristela’s words, this aircraft is what his heart created. Hence the company logo “Wings with heart”.
“American aviators demand a high level of quality, reliability, and support. Simply importing and reselling an aircraft was not an option for us” said Mancuso. Bristell Aircraft have upgraded interiors, are equipped with standardized systems and configurations like toe brakes and have standard tire sizes that are available at most FBOs. Bristell Aircraft maintains a comprehensive inventory of aircraft-specific parts at two east coast locations. Bristell Aircraft are backed by a 2 year/400 hour warranty.
