Fighter pilots are worth equal quality gold, why do they always choose to keep their planes?

A few days ago, Huang Peng, a squadron leader of an Air Force flight, was suddenly caught in an airplane emergency during flight training. He missed the best parachuting time in order to protect the fighter he was driving, and was unfortunately killed at the age of 3.

Many people have heard that pilots are "worth a lot". Ten years ago, it was said that they are comparable to gold of equal quality, so you can imagine how much it costs to train a qualified fighter pilot.

how much does it cost to train a qualified fighter pilot?

according to the latest data, it is far from meeting the requirements to train a qualified fighter pilot in our air force. The first is flight practice training, which must reach the minimum limit of 8 hours according to regulations, and the flight cost per hour is about 4 thousand.

There are annual physical examination, aircraft maintenance, pilot's salary, ground coordination, etc. The cost of each successful pilot is around 36 million, which is not too high. Even so, the professional life of each pilot will generally not exceed 15 years. If the older generation goes down, a new generation must come up, and the generation cannot be broken in the middle.

isn't it worthwhile to save a plane at such a high price?

No one can prevent pilots from skydiving

Throughout the air force around the world, no country has said that pilots are not allowed to skydive. All commanders have the idea in their minds that they would rather lose a fighter plane than keep the pilot. Aircraft can be rebuilt without it, but pilots are different, and it takes time besides money.

every qualified fighter pilot is the treasure of his unit. Not to mention a fall, you have to report it to the top. Anything can happen when the plane is in the sky. This is not a joke.

Although the output of the domestic J -15 that hit a bird some time ago is not very high, the cost is about 4 million yuan, which is not much higher than the training cost of a pilot. However, if its service life is counted, the average cost is much lower than that of the pilot, so the pilot himself is more expensive from any angle.

A pilot who flinches when encountering difficulties is not a good pilot.

With such a noble status and such a high price, there are always pilots who are unwilling to skydive at the first time. Do they really not know how much resources they consume?

It's impossible not to know your identity. Every pilot not only has to take practical courses, but also has many theoretical courses. They know better than anyone what kind of burden they have, but some things have to be done.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a pilot who flinches when encountering difficulties is not a good pilot. Aircraft accidents are common, so high speed and violent vibration in the sky will bring some problems more or less, which is inevitable. When a pilot is in the sky, the first priority must be flying, followed by dealing with some small flight problems. Every flight is a test of the fighter. It is also a test for pilots. It is impossible for cockpit simulation to be realistic.

if there is something wrong with the plane, it must be found out, and then it must be investigated in the whole army, and all these must be done after the plane has landed safely. Fighters, like civil aviation, have black boxes, but they also have the same characteristics. Once the plane crashes, it is difficult to find out the reason only through data analysis, and the physical object is the best detection object.

The mission of a soldier can't be forgotten

As a pilot, his first identity is the People's Liberation Army. If a plane crash threatens people's property and even their lives, they will do their best to avoid the worst outcome. The mission of a soldier is something that every soldier will never forget.

Our stable life is brought about by the country's prosperity, and the country's prosperity depends on these respectable soldiers. They are determined and have no regrets!
