Pilot Magazine January 2025

The cover of the January 2025 issue of Pilot magazine features the Bristell Taildragger. Deleting the tricycle undercarriage nosewheel and fitting a tailwheel makes the lovely Bristell kitplane/Light Sport Aircraft even nicer – and better suited to strip flying.

Also featured is a day in the life of an A350 captain when Mawgan Grace takes a seat alongside the flight crew in the cockpit of a Cathay Pacific A350 for a long-haul trip from New York to Hong Kong. Plus, there’s a first look at CubCrafters’ Carbon Cub UL which sees Super Cub made Ultra Cub – and potentially a UK microlight with STOL performance to spare.
