A-36 Halcón over the Andes.

This small advanced trainer is built under license from CASA in Chile by ENAER and is used also as a light attack plane. The Spanish designation is CASA C-101 Aviojet and the Chilean one is Halcón.

Two versions are in use in the FACh, the CASA 101BB known locally as the T-36 tasked with the advanced training and the CASA 101CC known locally as the A-36 tasked with the COIN/Light Attack function. The FACh see them as replacements for the T-37 and A-37 respectively.

Some 14 T-36 and 23 A-36 have been ordered. All of the T-36 are in use with the Grupo 1 in charge of the advanced training for fighter pilots while most of the A-36 are being use by the Grupo 3 in the COIN and Light Attack role.

The A-36 are undergoing an upgrade by SAGEM with a nav/attack suite similar to the one used in the Mirage 5M Elkán.
