 The
T-34C Turbomentor is an unpressurized two-seat, tandem cockpit low-wing
turboprop trainer. It is used to provide primary flight training for student pilots attached to the Chief of Naval Air Training. As a secondary mission,
approximately 10 percent of the aircraft provide pilot proficiency and
other aircraft support services to AIRLANT, AIRPAC, and NAVAIR "satellite
sites" operated throughout the continental United States. The T-34C
was procured as a commercial-derivative aircraft certified under an
FAA Type Certificate. The T-34C was derived from the civilian Beechcraft
Bonanza. Throughout its life, the aircraft has been operated and commercially
supported by the Navy using FAA processes, procedures and certifications.
