  Trainer (aircraft) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some military training aircraft are twin-seat versions of combat aircraft types (ground-attack or interceptor) and some of these are capable of rapid conversion in times of emergency to a reconnaissance or combat role.
A minority of military training aircraft, such as the Vickers Varsity, HS125 Dominie or Boeing T-43 were developed from transport designs to train several navigators at the same time.
A few aircraft modifications may be needed to enable coloured smoke to be emitted during aerial displays for visual effect, but essentially these airframes remain valuable to perform their pilot training function.

 Flight training - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flight training is a course of study used when learning to pilot an aircraft.
Initial training is often conducted in specialised training aircraft, which are designed for benign handling characteristics and lower costs compared to the aircraft which the pilot concerned is ultimately aiming to fly.
Flight simulators are also used to train pilots in many procedures, at much lower cost and risk than actual flying.

 Astronaut Training
The first component of training is completed during the astronaut's year of Candidacy, reading manuals and taking computer-based classes on Orbiter systems ranging from propulsion to environmental.
Astronauts begin training in the SMS using generic training software, until they are assigned a particular mission about 10 months before the flight.
Astronauts have often commented on the unbelievable accuracy of the simulation training, saying that only the noise and vibration of launch and the experience of weightlessness are missing from the practice sessions; everything else done in training accurately duplicates the experience.
