Operator: SovAF Other nations FLIGHT International, 6 March 1976 Operators: Australia 11; Indonesia 6 on order; Peru 2 on order, 5 on option; Philippines 12. BRAZIL Aerotec T-23 Uirapuru Production of this primary trainer continues for Brazil, at a rate of ten a year, and for export. Operators: Bolivia 18; Brazil 100; Guatemala 10 on order?; Paraguay 20 on order. Embraer EMB-110 Bandeirante Including options and civil orders, 135 Bandeirante light transports have been ordered and the current production rate is four a month. Just over 40 of the 60 passenger-carrying versions for the Brazilian Air Force have been delivered. Twenty freighters are on order. The Brazilian Air Ministry has ordered 12 EMB-111 maritime patrol variants. These are equipped with an APS-503 nose search radar, a Collins inertia! navigation system and various other new avionics as well as 67gal wingtip fuel tanks and a high-power searchlight.

FMA IA-58 Pucara The first of an initial batch of 30 Coin Pucaras, designated A-501, was handed over to the Argentine Air Force in November 1974 and about one aircraft a month is currently being produced. This is planned to rise to three a month during 1977, and the total Argentine requirement is understood to have risen from 70 to about 100 aircraft Operators: Argentina up to 100 required.
