Introduction

The L39 advanced trainer is in daily use by the air force's of sixteen countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

Its rugged and simple design has proved its qualities in every climate from desert summers to Siberian winters to tropical jungles. The aircraft's well-designed systems result in easy maintenance, excellent reliability, simple pre-flight checks, and no requirement for a full-time ground crew. The airframe has a proven service life of 6000 hours. A turbofan engine with low fuel consumption and low sensitivity to foreign object damage (FOD) is combined with high wing protected air intakes. This makes the aircraft ideal for operations from unimproved airstrips and for training. The excellent handling qualities make it one of the best training aircraft in the world.
