Chilean Air Force orders 12 Super Tucano aircraft

[ElcoB]

Embraer and the Chilean Air Force (FACH) signed a contract, today, for the sale of 12 Super Tucano aircraft. This is the end result of a public bid held by the FACH, which chose the airplane manufactured by Embraer as the best solution for the tactical training of its pilots. The first Super Tucano should be delivered in the second half of 2009.



The Super Tucano is currently operated by the Brazilian and Colombian Air Forces, for successfully training pilots and high-precision light attack procedures on internal security missions. The Embraer proposal chosen by the FACH includes a broad Integrated Logistic Support (ILS) package and an advanced Training and Operation Support System (TOSS), covering not only the aircraft but, also, ground support stations.
