In 1978 the Brazilian government called for a replacement to their aging basic trainer aircraft. The response was the turboprop Embraer EMB 312 Tucano that first flew in 1980.

The advanced training aircraft has a very jet-like feel with similar controls, and maneuverability. That was purposefully done so that future military pilots could easily advance to jet trainers.

Instructors appreciate the excellent visibility provided by a raised rear seat, enabling a view over the student and the front of the aircraft.

In addition to Brazil, the Embraer EMB 312 Tucano is used by air forces around the world, primarily Argentina, Egypt, France, and Great Britain.

Besides training, the aircraft is equipped with pylons and can be armed with missiles and bombs for the light attack role. The Brazilian Air Force aerobatic team, Esquadrilha da Fumaça, features the aircraft.

A total of 504 Embraer 312 Tucano aircraft of all types have been produced to date.
