The L-39 Albatros is, by all estimates, the most popular jet warbird on the US market. Its sleek looks, reasonable operating costs, and ease of operation explain much of the allure of this Czechoslovakian beauty, but there are other factors which make it such a desirable airplane. Let's go flying and see what everyone's so excited about. The L-39 is a single-engine advanced trainer used by many of the world's air forces, and as such it has many of the design features and handling characteristics as the high-performance fighters that its students will one day fly. The cockpits are fully pressurized, heated and air-conditioned. Each of the tandem cockpits is equipped with enough flight controls, flight instruments, engine gauges, and system status indicators to allow either pilot to safely operate the airplane.

As with most military jet trainers, the back seat was designed for instructors and, like many modern trainers, there is limited or no access to certain controls and switches in the rear "pit." In the L-39, these items include environmental controls, fuel pump switches, and the normal electrical controls. Also, the rear seat occupant cannot monitor the Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) simultaneously with the front-seater. In actual practice, none of these factors is a problem. There are duplicates of the really important controls in the back (and who really needs all that stuff, anyway?) The back seater does, however, have a few unique items to himself: a fiendish array of levers and switches which allow him to fail the front-seater’s instruments at will -- a holdover from the airplane’s days as a military trainer. The L-39 features some relatively sophisticated systems, such as an automatic Ram Air Turbine (RAT) that pops out of the fuselage and powers the electrical buses in the event of a main generator failure or engine failure; a series of backup hydraulic accumulators and interconnect valves that allow you to extend the gear, flaps and speed brakes via emergency means; an emergency fuel control system; and even some backup controls for the environmental control system (ECS).
