The L-39 was designed as a cost-effective trainer aircraft capable of performing ground attack missions. For operational flexibility, simplicity, and economy, most airborne systems are simplified to avoid causing a high level of maintenance and to minimize damage caused by improper handling by inexperienced crews during flight. It can easily take off from harsh airstrips, such as frozen lake beds, through a rugged landing gear design and favorable low landing speeds. The plane's flight quality was reportedly simple, with a quick throttle response, which made it easier for students who had never flown before to successfully control.
