Nineteen aircraft were orginally built during the 1980s by the Fabrica Militar de Aviones, the Argentine military depot that was privatized by Lockheed Martin in 1995. The Pampa is an extremely capable and economical trainer aircraft that was a competitor for the US Joint Primary Training System (JPATS) program. The aircraft continues to play a major part in the pilot training of the Argentine Air Force. In September 1999 Lockheed Martin Aircraft Argentina, S.A., a division of Lockheed Martin Aircraft & Logistics Centers, delivered a new IA-63 Pampa jet trainer to the Argentine Air Force, the first built since the late 1980s. The new generation IA-63 PAMPA maintains the ease of maintenance and stable flight characteristics of the original IA-63 version, produced in the late 1980s, while adding advanced avionics and an improved power plant.

The new IA-63 PAMPA uses a Honeywell TFE-731-2C turbofan engine with 3,500 pounds of thrust. The new engine features a new digital DEC computer and improved mean time between failures. This family of engines has more than 8,000 in service with more than three million flight hours. The aircraft also has a digital cockpit with a heads-up display in the forward cockpit. The state-of-the-art avionics suite includes a 1553B data bus, full systems redundancy, glass crew stations, laser ring INS/GPS NAV, a new mission computer and an integrated weapons system. This system is being designed and furnished by Elbit Systems, Ltd., Israel. Fully pressurized dual control cockpits with a one-piece canopy can be electrically fragilized in the event of ground emergency. The ejection sequence for the two zero-zero seats can be pre-selected. The light attack features of the aircraft include five weapons stations, enabling air-to-air and air-to-ground capability with a maximum payload of 1900 kilograms. Down-time for the in-service IA-63 PAMPA fleet has consistently remained below design expectations. The IA-63 PAMPA requires only 2.27 DMMH/FH while the total workload between major scheduled inspections is 3.80 DMMH/FH. IA 63 Pampa (wallpaper 2)
