Amazing avionics

Bristell Wings with heart

Reliable push pull control rods Keep them lubricated

Large tie down ring accepts most ropes.

Reliable all metal fuel vents and lines

Large NACA air vents provides plenty of fresh air for a cool cabin.

Stores Two Airline Style Carry on Bags-hard to reachCruises Comfortably At 135 mph on 5 Gallons of 91 Octane Auto Fuel or 100LL.Has an Allen screw on the underside of the horizontal stabilizer that must be tight.Your A&P must torque the gear leg bolts every 100 hours

Tecnam NegativesCarburetor air boxes are not installed on Tecnams or Vans RV-12 be careful!! Vent lines are made of plastic and can collapse.The Nose wheel is weak-do not brake in turns The electric trim box gets wet if exposed to rain.The tie down ring is small-carry 3/8 ropes.

The 100 HP Rotax Engine has a 2000 hour TBO A carburetor air box is recommended by Rotax and is standard on all Sport Cruisers and Remos aircraft.Tecnam does not install a carb air box Simpleno mixture

Rotax 912 ULS-100 HP Burns only 5 gphElectric Starting packsInternal Stator produces 18 amps continuous electricityDual aneroid carbsGear boxHigh compression Weighs only 128 lbs

Rotax 912 ULS-100 HP Requires 50 C / 120 degrees F prior to takeoff

Keep CHT below 240 deg F on climb out

It is okay to reduce power in the climb to keep temps under 240 degrees F

It is okay to climb at 90 KIAS to keep CHT temperatures below 240 deg F

Many LSA stall below 30 knotsThe SPORT CRUISER Stalls at 28 KIA Keep your speed up on takeoff to maintain control.

LIGHT SPORT AIRCRAFT MUST BE FLOWN ON TO THE RUNWAY.

DO NOT LAND USING A FULL STALL TECHNIQUE.

. The POH has the recommended approach speed.Our industry has historically used 1.3 times Vso as guide for a safe approach speed.For our light weight LSA a better formula is 1.5 times Vso.

The Sport Cruisers Vso is 28 knots. 1.5 times Vso would have you approach at 42 KIAS.55 KIAS on approach is better with a touch down speed of 40 knots.

DO NOT FLY WHEN THE CROSSWIND EXCEEDS 6 KNOTS UNTIL YOU HAVE 10 HOURS IN AN LSA

THERE IS NOT ENOUGH WIND PASSING OVER THE AILERONS TO CONTROL AN LSA IN A CROSSWIND IF YOU DO A FULL STALL LANDING

DO NOT DO FULL STALL LANDINGS IN AN LSA UNTIL YOU HAVE 10 HOURS IN LSAS AND THEN ONLY WHEN THE WIND IS CALM OR STRAIGHT DOWN THE RUNWAY.

Rotax 912 s/ulsWeighs Only 128 Lbs. Allowing Greater Payloads.

Keep CHT below 240C/110F on climb out by reducing power and climbing at 80 knots or more.

If it is difficult to keep CHT below 230 F, check prop blade angles. For the Wood Comp 17.0-17.5 degrees is maximum static 4950 min.

Rotax 912 s/uls

Climb at 80 knots and reduce power in climb to keep CHT below 230 C.

Be sure to replenish coolant often during hot weather.

Do not remove the coolant cap until system is cool to avoid introducing air into the system.

Operational Tips

Flight Operations TipsAlways move plane by pushing down on tail or better yet, use the tow bar.

Flight Operations TipsAlways move plane by pushing down on tail.

Always land on the mains.

Flight Operations TipsAlways move plane by pushing down on tail or using the tow bar.

Do not use brakes in a turn in a tecnam.

Takeoff requires a lot of right rudder.

Flight Operations Tips

Takeoff flaps are 10 degrees.

Flight Operations TipsAvoid liftoff below 40 knots.

Flight Operations TipsAvoid liftoff below 40 knots.

Vy climb is about 70 knots for most LSAs.

Flight Operations TipsAvoid liftoff below 40 knots.

Vy climb of 70 knots gives good visibility.

100LL requires minimum of 5000 rpm in cruise to disperse lead.

Flight Operations Tips4000 rpm is normal descent setting.

Flight Operations Tips4000 rpm is normal descent setting. Full flaps for landings works great.

Flight Operations TipsFinal approach at 60 knots

55 knots over the fence

Touch down at 45 knots on the main gear

Flight Operations Tips

Land without a crab

Lower the nose only after you have slowed down

Flight Operations Tips

Always land on the centerlineGood landings are a result of good approaches.

Flight Operations Tips

Aim for the numbers and make your approach at 60 knots

Flight Operations Tips

On calm days aim short of the runway

Flight Operations Tips

Always land in the first 500 feet.

Flight Operations Tips Slips are more effective if you mush first.

Flight Operations Tips

Your approach should be stabilized at 400 agl.

Flight Operations Tips

Do not slip, mush, or add flaps below 400 agl.

Flight Operations Tips

If not stabilized at 100 agl initiate a go-around.

Flight Operations Tips

Excessive approach speed such as 70kts will cause the engine to idle excessively high.

Flight Operations Tips Approach speeds of 70 kts will be okay on a day with a 10 kt headwind, but on a calm day you may need 3000 to land.

Flight Operations TipsCalm days will require full flap approaches @ 55 knots and aiming 500 feet before the numbers.

Flight Operations TipsA power on approach at 50 knots will allow landings within 1500 feet.

Flight Operations TipsAlways hold the nose wheel off the ground after landingsLet the nose wheel down gently

Flight Operations Tips

Speed should be below 15 kts before turning off the runway.

Flight Operations Tips

The Tecnam nose wheel is fragile. To avoid damage, never apply brakes in a turn.

Flight Operations TipsTecnam fuel tanks have plastic vent lines and have collapsed during cruise if one tank is selected .

The Piper Sport has metal vent lines.

Flight Operations Tips

Burn on one tank to correct fuel imbalance.Use left tank first.

Flight Operations Tips

5200 rpm will produce 110-115 knot cruise at 5.3 gph fuel burn.

Flight Operations Tips When using 100 LL you must cruise at 5000 RPM to avoid lead build up in the engine.

Flight Operations Tips

Maneuvering speed (Va) is about 93 KIAS and should be used when flying in rough air.

Flight Operations Tips

Smooth air cruise of 110-115 knots is normal.

Why I love the BristellLow empty weight of 756 lbs. yields 564 lb. useful load 50 inch wide cabin is very comfortable Canopy design assures easy closing and assures warm cabin in winter

31.2 gallons of fuel gives you lots of optionsWater tight wing lockers hold 44 lbs. eachMost parts are available from aircraft spruce Milan Bristela is totally committed to the Bristell The steerable nose wheel is great

The Garmin G3X Touch EFIS is the best, dependable and easy to use
