The Chinese Navy launched the selection of pilots in 2023, and the selection scope expanded.In addition to ordinary high school students and military academy graduates, they also include fresh graduates of science and engineering in general colleges and universities into the targets of the recruiting.This is also the first time that the Chinese Navy has organized the selection of female carrier -based aircraft flying students. The first female carrier -based pilot is expected to be born among those who qualify.

According to the Cadre Bureau of the Chinese Navy's Political Work Department, carrier -based pilots are the core of aircraft carrier combat effectiveness. As the navy accelerates the transformation and construction, the demand for carrier -based aircraft flight talents is more urgent.The picture shows a pilot from a base of the Chinese Navy University of Aeronautics on March 19, 2022 driving a J-15 fighter to block ship training at the aircraft carrier.(Xinhua News Agency)
