Piloto de la FAU
The Fuerza Aérea Uruguaya operates a small fleet including the IA-63 Pampa trainer/light attack aircraft (Argentine-manufactured) and the A-37B Dragonfly for light attack and support missions. Uruguay has operated the T-6 Texan II for pilot training. The FAU is one of the smaller air forces in South America, reflecting Uruguay's limited defense budget and peaceful strategic environment. Pilots enter through the Escuela Militar de Aeronáutica. The FAU's primary missions are maritime patrol, search and rescue, and support to peacekeeping deployments. For a combat aviation career with regular operational demands, Uruguay's pilots frequently look to peacekeeping deployment opportunities to build operational experience unavailable domestically.
