How Do I Get Airline Pilot Training?

The pilots of aircraft, helicopters, and other aircraft are called pilots. Pilots of multi-seat aircraft are usually only responsible for driving. In addition to piloting, pilots of single-seater aircrafts also have to take charge of navigation, communication, and shooting. ^[1]

Civil Aviation Pilot:

Roughly divided

1. Pilots are the valuable wealth of the party and the country, and enjoy high political treatment and social honor. Due to the special needs of flight work, in addition to the treatment of active officers, flight personnel also enjoy special treatment of flight personnel in accordance with relevant regulations. Enjoy the benefits of aviation flight professional post allowances, air meals, special equipment and other benefits.

2. After graduating from a flight school, high school students and second-year graduate flight trainees received a bachelor's degree, a bachelor's degree, and were appointed as deputy company officers; fresh graduate flight trainees will be awarded a military bachelor's degree Double bachelor's degree, appointed as full-time officer.

3. Army pilot salary = active officer salary + flight level allowance + flight hour allowance + other allowances.

Conditions and implementation methods of Chinese Air Force recruiting flight students

"Difficult to fly": Difficult to mine iron ore

"This is because of the special nature of the pilot profession: it takes several years of training time, as well as continuous training and strengthening for life." Tian Baohua, director of the China Civil Aviation Management Cadre Academy, pointed out that at 12 o'clock in the evening at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport, it is likely that Seeing several planes taking off and landing activities up and down in the nearby airspace, this activity often lasts until 6 am. For the normal flight of busy civil flights during the day, pilots after simulator training often conduct this training during this period. Only after completing the take-off and landing as required by the training program, can they be officially qualified for the sky.

According to industry sources, this is only a microcosm of the long process of pilot training. It is said that the Chinese aviation market is just like the Chinese steel market. It requires pilots as much as iron ore, but it is more difficult to develop a pilot than it is to mine a ton of iron ore.

"This is because of the special nature of the pilot profession: it takes several years of training time, as well as continuous training and strengthening for life." Tian Baohua, dean of the China Civil Aviation Management Cadre Academy, pointed out.

A staff member of the Spring and Autumn Airlines Flight Recruitment Office told China Business Daily that China's pilot composition is relatively diverse. There are different components from the start of student selection. Generally, there are two types: "big change" and "nurture".

The so-called "big change" refers to the transition from college students to pilots, and generally includes "2 + 2" and "3 + 1" and "4 + 1". The former refers to two years of general university course education. Receive another two years of flight driving professional education, "3 + 1" means one year of flying driving professional education after three years of regular college education, and the last type is one year of flying after college graduation. Driving professional education.

"Cultivation" is directly selected as a pilot for training after graduating from high school. Once selected as a "Healthy Life", he will receive four years of complete flight theory courses and flight training at the aviation school. Generally, after studying ground theory for two to two and a half years, he will enter flight training.

The advantage of "big change driving" is that the training cycle is short, which is more suitable for emerging airlines, such as private airlines with a large pilot gap; and the flight theory and practice of "Cultivating Health" is even better, but due to the flight course itself It is more expensive than the average university course, and the cost of cultivating "growth" is greater than the "big change".

"Fostering students" can be recruited by the aviation school according to the standard, and then let the airlines select them; or it can be recruited by the airlines. However, no matter which method is adopted, the student signs the contract with the airline as soon as he enters the school. The education and training fees are paid by the airline. After graduation, the student will work in the company.

"There are many people who are willing to be pilots in the society, but very few are really qualified. For example, when Spring Airlines is flying, it is necessary to test the balance ability of the students through the flight ability test, as well as the students' space memory ability and ability to withstand stress." The above-mentioned staff told reporters that the general applicants must pass the data screening, telephone screening, preliminary test, interview, and then the physical examination of the Civil Aviation Hospital of East China Bureau, and finally get the training qualification after political review, review, and final review.

A reporter's application for recruiting pilots from Shenzhen Airlines also shows that the requirements for candidates are men under 26 years old (inclusive), with a college degree (inclusive) or higher recognized by the state, and in addition to a height of 168CM (inclusive) or higher , Monocular naked eye vision C word table above 0.5 (inclusive), no history of vision correction surgery, no strabismus,

Domestic pilot training institutions

In October 2012, China Eastern Airlines started to recruit foreign pilots, and selected from a large number of foreign pilots with flying qualifications. It had more than 3 months of research and preliminary preparations. At the end of February 2013, it officially contacted foreign pilots. After very strict written tests, interviews, data reviews and flight simulator exams, eight foreign captains were identified as candidates for recruitment.

Although the licenses are complete, the foreign captain still starts from scratch. Chris was the captain of the original airline. After joining China Eastern Airlines, he followed the flight schedule on Beijing, Pudong, and Hongqiao flights, and recorded and learned the same way as the "trainee pilot". A month later, he "turned" into a captain.

A related person of China Eastern Wuhan Company said that foreign pilots mainly fly international routes such as Wuhan-San Francisco and business routes such as Beijing and Shanghai. Salaries are temporarily kept secret, and some are settled in US dollars. The company assists in arranging housing and other living security.

In 2002, the first batch of foreign pilots came to work in China. In the past 11 years, the number of "foreign captains" flying on China's civil aviation has exceeded 1,000.

Wuhan Aviation recruiting senior sources revealed that recruiting foreign pilots is more cost-effective than recruiting Chinese pilots, because foreign pilots sign short-term contracts with airlines for 3 to 5 years, and some do not have to pay "transfer fees." The domestic airline pilot training adopts the "order-to-life system", which is signed with the company first, and then funded by the company. Once the pilot changes jobs, the airline will pay millions of dollars in sky-high transfer fees, and some lawsuit disputes often occur.
