What does the air force ground service do?

The air force's ground handling is centered on the maintenance of aircraft, which is the direct maintenance of aircraft personnel.

The scope of ground handling is very large, mainly including aircrew and resident station personnel, airport logistics support, etc., including ordnance, aviation materials, fire control, air traffic control, communication, navigation, security and other majors. After the crew retired, all airlines needed them. There are two kinds of ground handling, maintenance and logistics. The former belongs to various aviation corps and is responsible for flight support and aircraft maintenance, while the latter belongs to the station and is responsible for fuel, aviation materials, military materials, security and field affairs.

The related majors of the air force ground service mainly include: ordnance major, mechanical major (aero-engine major), radio major (integrated avionics major) and special major (instrument electrical major). Air Force ground services include: radar meteorology, maintenance support, communication command, oil supply, airport support, flight control command, etc.

What can the air force do after retiring from the ground?

After leaving the army, air force pilots usually fly civil aircraft. At present, many pilots of China civil airliners are retired air force pilots. Air force ground maintenance personnel usually have first-hand maintenance skills when they retire, and can carry out mechanical maintenance or automobile maintenance.

If you have education and connections, you may also go to civil aviation to do ground handling. Other ground crew members of the Air Force will also practice corresponding skills according to different positions. Of course, it does not rule out that you have no chance to learn skills and crafts because of your position, so you will have to stand on your own feet after retirement.
