The Landing Doctor program and its focus on Ground Proximity Awareness are transformative. During my journey to my PPL, I have worked with a dozen CFI’s who almost without exception answered “it’ll just click” when asked about their approach to teaching landings. While practicing something countless times will inevitably lead to some degree of proficiency, it doesn’t necessarily lead to consistency in quality. By contrast, the Landing Doctor program directly addresses the greatest landing challenge facing new pilots, namely, gauging how far above the runway the aircraft is after crossing the threshold. The result is that within a few sessions of Ground Proximity Awareness training, the quality of my landings was immensely improved and, as importantly, consistent. If “butter” landings are your goal, the Landing Doctor program will get you there.

I just arrived home in Virginia with N405BL. It ended up being a bit more of an adventure than I expected, but before I tell the story, you Gotta know that the Bristell aircraft folks in the states are awesome.
Left Punta Gorda Sunday morning and had an issue with the airplane that caused an electrical failure which resulted in the loss of the avionics. I diverted to Lake City Gateway airport in northern Florida. It seemed hopeless for the first hour or so until I reached out to John Calla, the previous owner who I bought the aircraft from. John is also a sales rep for Bristell in SW Florida. John called the mechanic who did the pre-buy and Lou Mancuso, the principal owner of Bristell USA. Once we assessed the problem it appeared that we needed a part that would not be easily obtained with my limited travel capabilities. Lou devised a plan where I could fly to his airport in The Villages, FL and he would take the part I needed off one of the planes in his stable to get me home.
A month ago, when I looked at N405BL, I also looked at N922BL, Louis Mancuso's personal Bristell. I chose to buy N405BL instead of Lou's airplane. None of that mattered to Lou or his decision-making process. He made it explicitly known that no matter what, if you own a Bristell, you are part of the Bristell family. In the end, I was able to troubleshoot the problem down to a faulty switch in the panel. The rest of my flight back to Virginia was great.
If you're on the fence about buying a Bristell, know that it is an incredible airplane and that Bristell, USA is customer focused and they are here to help you. Whether you buy a new plane or one of the used Bristells in the USA fleet.
The people at Lake City were very helpful, so stop there and give them some business if you can.
