The AT-3 is an advanced jet trainer operated by the Republic of China Air Force. Sixty of the aircraft were manufactured by the Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation of the Republic of China (Taiwan) between 1984 and 1990.

The aircraft is called "Tzu Chiang", which translated into English roughly means self reliance and self improvement.

The AT-3A single-seat attack version never progressed beyond the prototype stage, however the armed two-seat AT-3B did enter service with the ROCAF.
