La familia AIDC AT-3/T-5 abarca la línea taiwanesa indígena de entrenadores a reacción, que comenzó con el AT-3 Tzu Chung, cuyo primer vuelo tuvo lugar en 1980 y que entró en servicio con la ROCAF en 1985, y continúa con el derivado de ataque XA-3 y el entrenador avanzado T-5 Brave Eagle. Fuentes de AIDC, ROCAF y Janes describen el T-5/T-5A como un programa de 66 aeronaves para reemplazar los aviones de entrenamiento AT-3 y F-5 más antiguos, con aeronaves de producción entregadas desde 2021.
