What a flight day involves
Your day starts with a comprehensive introduction to the L-39's safety systems, guided by an instructor with thousands of flight hours. Once you are kitted out, you head to the airfield, run through the flight plan and walk out to the aircraft.
In the air you will feel the G-forces of advanced manoeuvres such as barrel rolls and Cuban eights. At altitude your instructor hands you the controls, so you learn first-hand the concentration it takes to fly a jet.
If you hold a pilot's logbook, you can log the flight time.
