Variants

 * IA-63: Production of the initial series has been delayed and hampered by the state of the Argentinian economy, and as a result only 18 production aircraft have been built in the first batch (1988–90) and six in the second batch (2006–07) for the Argentine Air Force. First deliveries occurred in April 1988. The 18 aircraft are in service, all modernized, with the IV Brigada Aérea (English: IV Air Brigade) at Mendoza for the advanced training role of Argentine pilots.
 * Vought Pampa 2000: In the 1990s, LTV/Vought selected the IA-63 as the basis for the Pampa 2000, which Vought entered into the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System competition for the United States Air Force. The Pampa 2000 lost to the Beechcraft/Raytheon entry which became the T-6 Texan II.
 * AT-63 Pampa "Phase 2": With the acquisition of FMA by Lockheed Martin in 1995, the Pampa was upgraded with a new engine and a more advanced avionics package compatible with the A-4AR and weapons system. This new project was called AT-63 Pampa "Phase 2" (for attack trainer) and was marketed by Lockheed Martin.
 * IA-63 Pampa GT "Phase 3": A third batch of forty new units of the redesigned Pampa was announced by FAdeA on October 10th, 2013.
 * LMAASA IA 63 Pampa NG: Lockheed Martin collaboration to produce updated Pampas.
