The airframe is configured as a Two-place (side-by-side) trainer, optimized for dual instruction and direct instructor-student communication in flight. As operated by Sky Soaring Inc from Hampshire, IL, US, its typical mission profile is ab-initio and advanced glider flight training, with sorties focused on local pattern work, aero-tow and winch-launch practice, and cross-country introduction flights under supervision. Avionics fit and specific onboard instrumentation are not published for this individual serial, and maintenance considerations follow the Super Blaník’s established inspection intervals and airworthiness directives applicable to LET gliders in US registry.

The LET L-23 Super Blaník occupies the two-seat training glider niche, valued for straightforward handling and consistent training geometry that supports pilot transition and instruction. As a purpose-built trainer, it competes in the market against other two-seat instructional sailplanes used by clubs and flight schools, with demand driven primarily by gliding clubs and flight training organizations. For owners such as Sky Soaring Inc, maintenance and resale considerations typically center on airframe hours, fabric and control-surface condition, and the completeness of logbooks tied to serial 928010; public resale valuations for this specific airframe are not published.
