 Advanced Jet Trainer [AJT]
The idea of the trainer was mooted in 1983, the Air Staff Requirement prepared next year and after government approval in 1986, a joint IAF-HAL-DRDO team evaluated the British Hawk and Franco-German Alfa Jet.
In April 1995, the Ministry had highlighted to Prime Minister's office that lack of AJT was the main reason for human error accidents as pilots converting on sophisticated MiG-21 from Kiran/ Iskra trainers had difficulties in coping with the quantum jump in performance and technology of MiG-21's as compared to pilots converting on Hunters.
Of the 66 trainer, it was finally decided that 22 would be delivered in "fly-away" condition and the rest would be manufactured in India under license under a technology-transfer deal.

 The Dassault-Dornier Alpha Jet & FMA Pampa
French Alpha Jet E machines are still going strong, though their cockpit layout is too antiquated to make them well-suited to train AdA pilots for the new Dassault Rafale multirole fighter with its "glass cockpit".
The Alpha Jets were sold at a rock-bottom price since they were soaking up funds simply sitting in mothballs, though Fairchild-Dornier got a contract worth $43 million USD to refurbish the machines and provide support to the end users.
The "Alpha Jet 2", originally the "Alpha Jet NGEA (Nouvelle Generation Appui / Ecole or New Generation Attack / Training", was to feature featured the basic avionics of the MS2 plus compatibility with the advanced French Matra Magic 2 AAMs and the more powerful Larzac 04-C20 turbofans refitted to Luftwaffe Alpha Jet A machines.

 The BAE Hawk
The Hunter trainers were well liked, but they were also expensive to operate; had limited endurance; and their side-by-side seating arrangement was increasingly seen as outdated.
In step with the spirit of the times, the new trainer was to have a top speed of Mach 1.5, as it hadn't been realized at that time that the benefits of a supersonic trainer did not really outweigh the drawbacks of higher purchase and operation costs.
A flight simulator for a jet trainer is an entirely logical complement to the jet trainer itself, but it takes an organization of substantial resources to develop and market both.
