trainer
Let an agent explain trainer aircraft, relay their types, role and use with simulators from aviation sources, describe the named aircraft as instances, and distinguish trainer aircraft from combat aircraft, general aviation aircraft, flight simulators and the personal-coach and footwear senses of trainer.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain trainer aircraft, relay their types, role and use with simulators from aviation sources, describe the named aircraft as instances, and distinguish trainer aircraft from combat aircraft, general aviation aircraft, flight simulators and the personal-coach and footwear senses of trainer.
A trainer is an aircraft designed for training pilots, typically with dual controls and forgiving handling, ranging from basic and primary trainers to advanced jet trainers that prepare pilots for combat aircraft, with the registry aliases naming specific historic training aircraft such as the Hanriot HD.14 and the HAL HTT-40, which are instances; trainers may be purpose-built or converted, and modern training also uses simulators. This entry describes trainer aircraft at a general reference level, distinct from the trainer as a person who coaches and from athletic trainers or shoes.
What it is for: Training pilots.
It can be explain types and role; relay use with simulators; describe named aircraft as instances; distinguish other senses.
Distinguishing features

How it is recognised
Aircraft for training pilots
FMA AeC.2, Hanriot HD.14, BFW M.31, Svenska Aero Falken, DAR 9 Siniger, HAL HTT-40
Combat aircraft are for fighting; general aviation aircraft are civilian; simulators are ground-based; a personal trainer coaches people; trainers are also shoes
