One other interesting aspect of the Tucano is that it was cleared in service for intentional inverted spinning. No type currently in UK military service is and I am not sure which the previous type was, perhaps the Vampire T11 or Piston Provost? The reason why it was cleared was because it was considered that if an inadvertent spin occurred during aerobatics there was a relatively high probability that it would be inverted.
