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 and ready for an IFR upgrade, with a genuine 117 KTAS cruise and 600 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.

Performance

The numbers that matter.

Real-world figures on the Rotax 912 iSc: efficient, repeatable, and honest at every weight.

A strong climb, a genuine 117 KTAS cruise and a 600 NM range make it equally at home on a quick local hop or a full day of cross-country flying.
