BYAHILO flying with SEAir LET 410 UPV-E

Posted on June 18, 2008

When we left the island paradise of Coron in Palawan, we took a SEAir LET410 UVP-E aircraft bound for Manila Philippines. The SEAir LET 410 is a 19-seater aircraft perfect for short-haul flights.

It was actually my first time to fly in a 19-seater aircraft. Before, I always dismiss the idea of actually taking a flight using this aircraft as this could be my last flight. People always say that its better to take a flight using the large aircrafts for safety reasons.

But all of my doubts and apprehensions were cleared when I finally boarded the LET 410 aircraft. It is so small, I would think I was just in a field trip and the other 18 passengers are my classmates.

The LET 410 aircraft is perfect for short haul flights and is very capable of landing in both paved and unpaved runways. That is the main reason why SEAir is using this aircraft for many of its destinations.

The landing and take off procedures, which is probably the most crucial part during travelling is uneventful. Near perfect, I must say. No bumpy feel during landing.

And because the LET 410 aircraft is much smaller than the regular commercial planes, it cruises at a much lower altitude, thus you’ll get to view islands and mountains in another perspective.
