The HAL HPT-32 Deepak is a prop-driven primary trainer aircraft used for initial pilot training and other tasks. It was developed by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for the Indian Air Force (IAF) to replace the HT-2 basic trainer. The HPT-32 was the IAF’s basic trainer aircraft until July 2009, when it was grounded due to safety concerns.

The HPT-32 is a fully aerobatic aircraft with two side-by-side adjustable seats and seat type parachutes. It has a conventional design for its type, including a nose-mounted piston engine, low-set wing, retractable tricycle landing gear, and single tailfin. The aircraft has a range of 1,400 km and can reach speeds of 280 kmph. It has four hard points for carrying a 255 kg war load, including machine gun pods, bombs, and rockets.
