Chinese pilot: Training is so intense that he spent only 12 days a year with his family

A report was published on Chinese television on the intensity of training and planned flights of PLA air force pilots. It is noted that from year to year in the air force observed increase in flight hours for pilots of various types of military aviation: from transport to fighter.

As an example, the Chinese media decided to cite the annual schedule of the pilot of the J-10 multi-role fighter Wu Hui. He is a pilot of the fighter regiment of the so-called Southern Theater (an analogue of the military district).

Wu Hui:

I graduated from a military university in 2004 and was appointed to a position in a squadron equipped with fighters of the second (according to Russian and Western classification - third, - approx. “VO”) fighter. After that, I was transferred to the regiment, flights in which are carried out on the J-10.

To date, more than 300 fighters of this type are in service with the PLA Air Force and Navy.

A report by Chinese journalists says that in 2019 the training of pilots in the PLA air force was so intense and tight on schedule that the plot hero Officer Wu Hui “could spend only 12 days with his family - with his wife and child.”

Wu Hui:

We all understand that training is routine and planned. And at the same time, we understand that only training of this nature, as if a real war is going on, allow us to prepare in the best way. Modern combat is very different from the one we were told about at the flight school. Only experience in the cockpit allows us to understand how the principles of warfare and the technologies used in aircraft have changed.

I do not know what to say...
Are they already preparing for war at full speed?
I wonder what the total plaque scored.
Well, do not go on foot in a tank they flew.

[bessmertniy]

If aviation is so actively used for training, the question arises that there is an accelerated depreciation of aircraft, and an accelerated replacement by new machines is required.

I have a slightly different "question", What is their quality of service for the aircraft that is almost never heard about their aircraft incidents?
They are not even included in 10 countries by air accidents.

There are things that in some countries it is not customary to talk about. Especially if the entire information space is under strict control. Only their own victories and successes are voiced. However, no one forbids throwing mud on others (including Russian weapons). Like Ukraine, only in Ukraine, even though the Internet is not yet under state control.

In the USSR, we also heard little about air accidents. If they still found out about civilian planes ... mainly through rumors, then the military is completely taboo. About the same thing in China.
But now we have the media about every "sneeze" they report.

Aw! Gauges flew over Iran and Syria and the next day there were shots of the flight .... return to reality people.

Come on. When my father served in the Soviet Army, then once every half a year, he had a day off, then it was a holiday for the whole family. He left for service when we were still sleeping, returned when we were already sleeping. You can calculate how many days off there were over 25 years of service. (I do not consider vacation). If you count by the hours spent in the service, then for three ordinary pensions will work.

[bessmertniy]

And yet, somehow the guy found the time that a child appeared in the family. But the wife with such training is left without control and, probably, lacks love .

No, Pasha, not bravado. They have been busy for years (and already the account has gone for decades). They do not have a "paper army". They are PREPARING FOR WAR. And what else should the army of a serious state be busy with? Their tankers are ready to blind enemy crews with lasers ("here and now", not in "2030"; combat drones (what kind of "eagle-morlan" ?!) have long become commonplace in the troops, the tactics of their use have long been worked out; their infantry knows how to rest on rolled felt (on "foam"), and not on a bed, their special forces can move with acceleration along the vertical surface of the wall ... Pasha, they have camouflage parachutes (attention to "little things" ... ) and mini-all-terrain vehicles "for all occasions" ... Guess what kind of COMMUNICATION they have. They are not "excellent", but "good" soldiers. The mighty USSR was afraid of them - it built URs, started up armored trains - "flyers". Only " the first wave "(taking into account the reserve) is about twice as large as the population of the Republic of Kazakhstan (" Capitalist Russia "). Does the Republic of Kazakhstan have rockets? And who will press the button ?! RC" supervises "Syria. And what?"

Yes. However, as in their entire army, they work out in full.

[knn54]

Well, classes on Marxism-Maoism.
And if a young, interesting colleague is still nearby ...

[Sergey Averchenkov]

I want to tell you about the 80s. Flights have always been. Pilots flew from the word to fly ... I was tired of deciphering ... but still flied. I want a repeat of the 80s.

[Mountain shooter]

Something I do not believe in these tales. The standard flight time of fighters is 200-300 hours a year. Even if ALL days are flying, family holidays are usually at home. And they will fly for 500 hours - health will end quickly. Overload, nervous exhaustion ...

[Sergey Averchenkov]

I don’t know about fighters, but I definitely know about army aviation. Always flew, in any weather. 24 hours a day.

[dauria]

at the expense of the army aviation. Always flew, in any weather. 24 hours a day.

Do not stir up water. In OVE at the motorized rifle division (80s) in ZabVO
flights maximum 4 days a week, one day of preliminary preparation. There were also "park days", targeted inspections, there was simply no weather, etc.
A third - half of the sides flew. More - less often. Day with transition to night. The weather scout rose at 15.00, stopped at one in the morning, refueled, covered. It was not this that bothered, but the fact that they ran on alarm, instead of a day off, you can easily ring out in an outfit (without any time off). And holidays with obligatory construction at the worst time - at eight in the evening. Not to drink, not to grumble for real. Of course, the "whistles" also had occasional transportation of all sorts of bosses and patients, PSS. Flight time of 120 hours per year is normal.

[Sergey Averchenkov]

I don’t torment. 361st AFP. We flew in three shifts. I did not climb out of the airfield. Ah, yes ... objective control ... And how should you know without a test, not one side will fly out. Three shifts, and there were two of us - so we just lived there. We were rarely seen in the barracks.

[bessmertniy]

Divers, too, are not kept for days under water, but for hours. Here is the same thing. Extreme loads require serious rest to restore strength.

[kit88]

Quote: Mountain Shooter

In IAP, ALL days cannot be flight days by definition.
If my memory serves me, if you correct something, here is the standard sample work week.
Mon - Preliminary preparation, Target inspections and checks on AT
Tue - Flights
Wed - Flights
Thu - Park day (Trainings with l / s, the most difficult work on AT) every 2 weeks.
Fri - Flights
Sat - PCBs
Sun - Day off
Something like that.

[dauria]

Something like that.

Yes exactly. We had only target and park ones on Friday. And the preliminary one on individual sides could be done "unscheduled" because of the NIAS standards for timing. But these boards are not for scheduled flights, but for duty and transportation.

Many pilots will envy him.

In our time they said - first we’ll break down the planes, well, girls - then ...... Young were, stupid, what can I say.

[bober1982]

Twelve days a year with a family, due to the intensity of flights - this is simply outright stupidity. This is a shame on Chinese journalism.

[bessmertniy]

There is such a sin that journalists sometimes unknowingly write horrible things. It turns out that people can carry dry steam in buckets or in agriculture they pay a lot of attention to zucchini so that they spawn on time and swallow eggs.

[bouncyhunter]

And then cherry blossomed, rye bloomed ...

bober1982 (vladimir)

I agree ... no one can cancel the "medical" min vacation of 30 days (as far as they have heard, "also), otherwise you will not fly ..

[bober1982]

All Chinese friends should be urgently distributed to our Air Force special centers (Sudak), or let our experience be taken over, as flight crews bring to life.

[Pete mitchell]

something zhurnalyugi confused, from the word uniquely. Although they have civilians flying around China in violation of the regime of work and rest, I restored two here - for 19 hours in a row they were jailing as it should. I think zero lost

[Mavrikiy]

Chinese pilot: Training is so intense that he spent only 12 days a year with his family

Getting ready for .... definitely. With whom, as Fursov teaches, "to bury your head in the sand is the last thing, as well as to run away from fate. She will catch up and so will become stunned. The blows of fate must be met with the face and then there will be a chance to win." The world behind the scenes and the world economy need a "good war" on the scale, and of course, preferably with our participation. And if China takes part in it, then it will be the height of bliss for the world's TNCs. This is the dream of the US state too.
All the squeals about China's interests in the south are not worth the salary of one button. World experience teaches disinformation the mother of victory. Hitler hit Poland and thus lull the "democracy", as a result he got France. Shaking hands with us, China could simultaneously receive from the West a bunch of guarantees on the recognition of the legality of new territorial acquisitions, at our expense, why not? China took someone else's and will still try to take it.

[Resistance]

I asked myself a similar question sitting in a sturdy case. Surprisingly, he counted very quickly - 121 hours.

[Avior]

Theoretically, this can happen if the family does not live in the garrison, but generally in the other end of the country with his mother, for example, so that he can only get to her on vacation
12 days with the family, it doesn’t mean that he spends the rest of the time in the air, he just can’t leave the garrison for a long time
On the other hand, no one writes that his wife does not visit him periodically in the garrison without a child, and you never know what kind of Chinese nurses Ta Mar Ki they have :)
Well, for the sake of the red words, the valiant Chinese journalists simply omitted subtleties, that’s a sensation

[voyaka uh]

That's right. He lives, probably at a remote base without a family. And a few days of vacation.
But it is clear that they are training intensively. And it is right.

[bober1982]

Quote: voyaka uh

And a few days of vacation.

The fact is that flight crews cannot have short vacations, these vacations are very large, this time is necessary (vacation) to recover, and this applies to pilots of any country. There is also a whole system of recovery (psychological, physiological) in addition to holidays, such as dispensaries, special centers. Much attention is paid to this, it has always been and everywhere.
The flight rates (month, year) are regulated, flying more than the established one - only harm yourself, there will be no benefit, and glitches can be "caught". All flight work is determined by the Combat Training Course; accordingly, the raid is planned, all that is more - the usual unnecessary "manure".

[voyaka uh]

In Israel, pilots are forced to live close to airfields. They make such special settlements. Wealthy with nice villas. So that families do not suffer. And reservist pilots have a paid vacation once a week for a "flight day." They come to the base and fly for an hour or two. There are three equal crews for each aircraft.

[bober1982]

Everyone has their own rules, in the Soviet Air Force the vacation was - 45 (forty-five days) + road, after 1991 the vacation for some reason was increased - 60 (sixty days) + road
According to the raid, what happened (in front-line aviation):
40 (forty) flying hours per year - a year counts as two.
50 (hours) flight hours per year - the minimum required to confirm the class.
This, of course, was not enough to maintain a good level, but a 90-110 hour flight was enough to be trained. Of course, they raided more and more, due to numerous business trips, the regimental pilot pilots had large raids, who took out young lieutenants (and not young ones too) for flight access, these could even fly in for two hours.
The annual raid in front-line aviation was approximately equal to the monthly raid in Long-Range Aviation or Transport.

[Avior]

Logical.
But perhaps he spends his vacation with his wife, recovers and removes the psychological burden, and the child at that time with his grandparents.
or just the Chinese knights of the pen lied a bit for the beauty of the syllable.
on the other hand, pay attention, they don’t write about the real raid of the pilot, so they leave a place for the audience’s guesses ...

[sailor roman]

Pilot training consists of a whole range of activities, a significant part of such activities is theoretical, physical, medical, training on simulators, etc., etc. Training in flight skills directly in the air rarely exceeds 200 hours per year.

[midshipman]

In peacetime, military pilots should fly around 200 hours. This flights should be every day.
And when we created and tested new aircraft (MiG-25, MiG-31, Su-24 ...., with vertical take-off, helicopters), we had to travel on business for 9 months a year. This was my period from 1964 to 1978. Then I was the chief designer of on-board radio systems in NII-33 ..

Everything can be understood of course, but 12 days in a year? I had periods of 2-3 full days off per month. It is exhausting decently, but a vacation of 45 days + 15 per OUS + the road has always been. So you can drive people.
