Primary trainer designed and built in Brazil by Aerotec, in São José dos Campos, before Embraer was consolidated. It served the Brazilian Air Force (FAB) as the T-23 in basic cadet instruction and later moved to flying clubs in the civil A-122B version. It is a landmark of the national aeronautical industry and still flies in aviation schools in the country.
