T.82 Lærer

The T.82 Lærer is a single engine, tandem two-seat aircraft with retractable tricycle landing gear. The original models featured a piston engine and were designed to bridge the gap between ab initio training platforms and jet trainers whilst being a simple in design as possible to allow ease of export and maintenance as well as allowing potentially inexperienced foreign producers to easily manufacture them under license.

The B model was refitted with a turboprop engine giving greater performance and featuring ejection seats to bring it in-line with military aviation standards and in response to complaints that in practice the platform underperformed and had too much of a difference in handling characteristics between itself and jet trainers. The C Model was introduced in 2010, with heavily updated avionics and a glass cockpit to better match in service front-line platforms.
