The Claws of a New training Master

  State-of-the-art avionics and systems have been incorporated into the aircraft for training purposes. These may be configured in three different ways to suit customer requirements.

The Basic Trainer version features two color multi-function displays (CMFDs) and a group of basic instruments installed in a "T' format equipped with an altimeter, two attitude indicators (AD Is), a Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) and the familiar turn-and-bank indicator.

The Advanced Trainer configuration features two ADls and a VSI presented on Head-Up Display (HUD).

  The Weapons Training configuration employs the same panel, but system architecture allows the use of AACMI (Autonomous Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation) - without the need for ground station support - coupled with NVG (Night Vision Goggles) instruction.
Other configuration alternatives include:

IDAR (Integrated Data Acquisition Recorder), a system that performs all the functions formerly carried out by independent systems such as the VCR (Voice Communication Recorder and FDR (Flight Data Recorder).
A Virtual Armament System that enables the student pilot to fire "dry shots", whose results become available in real time, thereby improving - the students' performance with an increased level of economy.
A virtual radar training capability managed by the aircraft's computers simulating all-radar symbology (threats, perimeters, lock-up, etc.). If data-link capability is installed, two or more aircraft can take part in this virtual training by sharing target/threat information, through real-time exchange between themselves and a ground control center.


  Irrespective of training specifications, the Super Tucano is fitted with a communications and navigation suite that includes two VHF radios, two GPSs, two VORs, an ILS, a Transponder, a DME and an ADF.
