 The Embraer EMB 312 Tucano is a low-wing tandem-seat single-turboprop basic trainer with counter-insurgency capability developed by the Brazilian Company Embraer.

An innovative new basic trainer with relatively simple features that eventually became the international standard for basic training aircraft. The prototype first flew in 1980, and initial production units were delivered in 1983. Production was initially supported by a local order for 118 aircraft with options for an additional 50 units in October 1980.  The Tucano made inroads into the military trainer arena and became one of Embraer’s first international marketing successes. A total of 664 units were produced (504 by Embraer and 160 by Short Brothers).
