The present work is the matureness of the research for new primary/basic trainer aircraft requirements to substitute the current Brazilian made Universal Neiva T-25C. These aircrafts are at the end of their service life with the Brazilian Air Force and, at the moment, there are no substitutes to act as a replacement trainer to the Braziliam Air Force Academy (AFA) cadets. In the search for requirements and standards to define the characteristics of the new trainer, the author took advantage of a Systems Engineering analysis methodology with which, under a more holistic and macro point - of - view, he highlighted three main aspects of the instruction system: man, machine and method. The work begins with the definition of the interfaces among engineering, design and architecture; after that there is an exposition of the objectives and a national private (civilian) and military flight training programs review, in order to emphasize the problems and build up the hypotheses and the thesis. After the analysis and comparison of the Brazilian system with the USAF (United States Air Force) program, a change in the Brazilian flight training program was discussed, which would start with an initial flight instruction phase using light aircraft. This new revised program would contribute for the reduction of the attrition number (elimination of cadets not suited to flying in the training process) and would save hundreds of thousands of reais per year of the tax payers money. A research was done with the Brazilian Air Force Academy instructors, aiming to reveal the real facts, problems and characteristics for a hypothetic brand new trainer aircraft. There is still an analysis of the systems engineering process and its role in the aeronautical industry. In the final part of this work, a comparative study of commercially available trainer aircraft can be found. The trade study aims to establish a scenario for the changes in the present training system and the adoption of the light aircraft as an initial trainer. The requirements extracted from the reports review and the instructor survey can help future works concerning aircraft selection or the design of a new trainer aircraft.
