The FAB is currently looking to expand its the airforce, and is looking for an initial order of 300 trainers, as well as 60 medium bombers and 60 dive bombers. The trainer order is to be split in two, with 150 basic and 150 advanced trainers required. All interested parties please give a delivery estimate as well.

Notes
The N1E Coati is a single-engined, retractable-gear, low-wing monoplane with an enclosed cockpit. The instructor sits behind the pilot trainee. Controls are designed to instruct trainees on the information necessary to fly modern frontline fighters. Two .30cal machine guns are installed in the wings for gunnery practice, and five-pound or ten-pound smoke bombs can be carried in underwing stations. It should be noted that the Coati is not armoured for combat. Civilians can also purchase the Coati, albeit without bomb racks.

A Coati test aircraft has been demonstrated to be capable of carrier landings, and the plane can be fitted with arrestor hooks; this option is being offered under the name Coati-N.

ENAER has produced over one hundred and fifty Coatis in multiple variants for the Chilean Air Force, the Chilean Navy, and Argentina, and a further specialized variant of the airframe, the P1E-3 Coypu, is in development for 1940.

Variants:
- N1E Coati: standard advanced trainer aircraft.
- SN1E Coati-N: navalized scout-trainer with arrestor hook.
- SO1E-1 Sea Coati: float-equipped scout plane (single float).
- SO1E-2 Sea Coati: float-equipped scout plane (twin floats; in Argentine service)
- P1E-3 Coypu: advanced ASW development (1940)
