About

One aircraft, many missions.

Step into the B23 and the first thing you notice is space. With the widest cabin in its class, there is room for two and their luggage without compromise, and the controls fall naturally to hand. In the air it rewards a light touch, with balanced, predictable handling that builds confidence from the first circuit to a long cross-country flight.

It is equally at home as a trainer, a weekend tourer or a personal cross-country machine. Certified for night VFR, with a genuine 106 KTAS cruise and 780 NM of range, the B23 keeps going when shorter-legged aircraft have to stop.

Highlights

Built around the pilot.

From the widest cabin in its class to a full-glass panel and a constant-speed propeller, every detail is chosen to make the B23 easier and more rewarding to fly.

Interior

Finished like a sports car.

Adjustable rudder pedals, electric flaps and trim and soft LED cabin lighting round out a space built for long, comfortable days in the air.

Performance

The numbers that matter.

Figures on the Rotax 912 iS Sport: efficient, repeatable, and honest at every weight.

A steady climb, a genuine 106 KTAS cruise and a 780 NM range make it equally at home on a quick local hop or a full day of cross-country flying.
