I think that this line: "the sale of the BAE Hawk to Indonesia in recent years has been highly contentious" is highly unneutral and rather unacceptable for an impolitical article, such as Trainer Aircraft. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.12.205.31 (talk) 00:36, August 28, 2007 (UTC)
Disagree. I think it's an excellent inclusion in an article about training aircraft. The fact that the Hawk was a convertible trainer is the heart of the controversy. It's not "political" or non-neutral to say that the sale was contentious! -- Shannonr (talk) 07:54, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
There needs to be some mention of these here, both in terms of syllabus and types (both dedicated – e.g., TH-57 – or otherwise). In fact, an overview of the various stages of aircraft training and streaming for both fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircrews would be helpful, including the differences between civilian and military training.

I've made a start at finding references for some of the claims in this article, and tried to flag the other major claims for someone who's more familiar with the subject. Help please! -- Shannonr (talk) 07:54, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
Major changes to key articles should be discussed first, including moves and retooling. As Trainer (aircraft)is a key topic for aviation, this page needs to be here. There are other options available which can and should be discussed beforehand, including expansion of civilian information, and splitting off the bulk of the military aircraft material to another article. Thanks for your cooperation. - BillCJ (talk) 17:03, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
Another editor moved this page from Trainer (aircraft) to Trainer aircraft without discussion, or even an explanation. I objected in my mind when it was done, but did not revert it until now. "Trainer aircraft" is not a term that is generally used, usually just "Trainer", or perhaps "training aircraft". We usually have to pipe Trainer aircraft as "Trainer aircraft|trainer" anyway, so Trainer (aircraft) seems best to me. - BillCJ (talk) 19:49, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Most of the introductory passage has nothing to do with training aircraft. For example this adds nothing to an article entitled 'Trainer (aircraft)': "Some air forces contract-out training activities to private companies." Additionally, the whole section is full of weasel words like "some" and "many". I would recommend deleting all but the first three sentences, until a more suitable intro can be written. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.202.120.78 (talk) 21:44, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
This part of the article should either be deleted or utterly rewritten! It's obviously not written by a pilot or someone with any insight at all in flight training. The SF260 and the RAF version of the Grob (Tutor) are both unique exeptions from the old and still overly common standard in side-by-side training aircraft having the student (or PIC) in the left seat! "It has become the norm...." is an obvious POV written without any real knowledge or source. It's also clear that the reasons given to this "right seat standard" in the text are also all assumptions by the author and not researched or taken from a source.--Towpilot (talk) 23:19, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
There is no article on lead-in fighter training, is there a difference between that and advanced jet training? Cold it be included in this article as a subheading or a note under Advanced training? Chalky (talk) 12:04, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II NotifyOnline 19:52, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Trainer (aircraft) → Trainer aircraft – The disambiguation must be removed and replaced with the word "aircraft" to conform with other aircraft type articles (i.e. fighter aircraft, attack aircraft, transport aircraft, etc. Carlo71201 (talk) 07:58, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
I was thinking we could make a list of trainer aircraft. I mean there is a list of aircraft article so it should be possible. Forevernewyes (talk) 02:26, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
