Features
As a jet trainer, the L-39 deliberately only comes with some bare essentials:
- Both the C (trainer) and ZA (light attack) models of the L-39.
- Multi-crew: fly with a friend(?) as instructor or trainee in the same aircraft.
- An IFR hood to pull down over your trainee friend's(?) head so they can't see outside.
- Dual controls: the instructor can take over when the trainee gets confused because they can't see outside.
- An infuriating differential braking system rather than regular toe brakes or NWS.
- A light assortment of guns, bombs, rockets, and even something pretending to be air-to-air missiles (mainly for the ZA). No nuclear torpedoes, though…
- ИСКРА and ПРМГ navigation and instrument landing equipment.
- NDB-based radio navigation.
