They are not 'basic' trainers. If they are a direct Tucano replacement they will only be for FJ streamed students. Everyone still seems to focus on the FJ pipeline when many more pilots are required for group 2 and 3 - or whatever those streams are called now. The low number of Grobs might be more worrying.
