What are the requirements for pilot selection every year?

The 2008 air force pilot recruitment publicity, mobilization and pre-selection preliminary inspections have been launched in 29 provinces (cities, districts) across the country. According to Sui Guosheng, director of the Air Force Recruitment Bureau, the Air Force's recruitment and selection policy for pilot cadets in 2008 has the following changes and adjustments.

First, the Air Force only recruits fresh science and liberal arts graduates from local middle schools in 2008; second, the age group for recruiting fresh high school graduates from local middle schools is still 16 to 19 years old; third, it recruits fresh graduates from local middle schools. The number of recent high school graduates with liberal arts majors shall not exceed 20% of the total number of high school student pilots recruited by the Air Force; fourth, candidates participating in the Air Force recruitment must not only pass the national unified examination for admission to ordinary colleges and universities, but also must pass the Air Force centralized selection and admission stage organization. The secondary selection examination for cultural courses. The secondary selection test for cultural courses mainly tests mathematics and foreign languages ??(foreign language tests are limited to English and Russian); fifth, after being admitted to the Air Force, those who voluntarily abandon their studies before obtaining student status or military status at the Air Force Aviation University must pay to the Air Force according to the agreement. Relevant recruitment fees; Sixth, recruiting pilot students among fresh undergraduate graduates from ordinary universities mainly selects students majoring in science and engineering.

When talking about the reasons for the adjustment of the Air Force’s six policies for recruiting pilot students in 2008, Sui Guosheng said that the pilots recruited by the Air Force are military flying talents who fulfill new missions. Therefore, the selected pilot students must love the flying profession, be dedicated, have a strong body and good psychological quality, have a good cultural foundation for receiving higher education, and have the professional knowledge and ability to master new weapons and equipment as soon as possible.

It is understood that the recruitment and selection of pilot cadets for the Air Force in 2008 was carried out under the unified deployment of the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Finance and the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of this work, the Air Force has established a special recruitment bureau, which consists of seven selection centers in Shenyang, Beijing, Lanzhou, Jinan, Nanjing, Guangzhou, and Chengdu. Under the unified leadership of the Air Force Recruitment Bureau, in conjunction with the education administration, admissions examination, and public security departments of relevant provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the Central Government, as well as relevant general universities and military academies, the recruitment work at each stage is specifically organized and implemented.

The selection conditions are strict and candidates must pass eight levels

With the modernization of weapons and equipment and the increasingly prominent status and role of the Air Force, pilots need to have good physical and cultural qualities. , possessing a brave and tenacious style and an indomitable spirit. According to Director Sui Guosheng, the air force recruitment and selection conditions are very strict. Candidates can only be selected and admitted after passing multiple "gates" and meeting the four conditions of political, physical, psychological quality and culture.

The first is the registration recommendation level. From September to November, the Air Force Recruitment Bureau organizes and carries out recruitment propaganda and mobilization work. During this period, students compared the self-recommended registration conditions for pilot recruitment, obtained the consent of their parents, and voluntarily applied for the aviation flight and command major of the Air Force Aviation University. The school where the student was located reviewed the student's registration qualifications based on the pilot recruitment registration conditions.

The second is pre-selection and initial inspection. Stations will be set up in relevant cities from the end of September to the beginning of December. The initial inspection is mainly based on physical examination. A single elimination system is adopted during the inspection. Items with high elimination rate, easy detection, and short occupation time are mainly used to screen out the pre-selection for flight recruitment. The purpose of the object.

The third is the physical examination. Implementation after the Spring Festival is one of the main contents of the comprehensive inspection work for recruitment. The Air Force recruitment physical examination is divided into ophthalmology, otolaryngology, surgery, dermatology, internal medicine, neuropsychiatry, imaging and laboratory departments. Students are required to undergo a comprehensive examination of 129 items. During the physical examination process, a single-discipline and single-item elimination system is adopted.

The fourth is the psychological quality test. This is an important test item closely related to the military flying profession. After candidates pass the physical examination, they must undergo a strict psychological quality test to determine whether the candidate has the psychological quality of a pilot.

The fifth is political censorship. It mainly examines whether candidates meet the political conditions for recruitment. That is to say, candidates are required to: have correct motives for applying, have a clear and firm attitude, have good practical performance, and have clear social relations and political history.

Sixth is the cultural examination.

After the candidates meet the requirements in terms of physical, mental and political qualities, they must apply to the Air Force Aviation University, and the school will organize them to participate in the National Unified Entrance Examination for General Colleges and Universities.

Seventh is the centralized selection process for recruiting pilots. This is a series of repeated inspections and appraisals carried out by air force-level experts in Beijing before admission to determine whether the candidates are physically and mentally qualified. At the same time, candidates are also required to undergo a secondary selection test for cultural courses, mainly in mathematics and foreign languages.

The eighth is the approval and admission stage. The Air Force implements early and separate admissions for qualified candidates based on the prescribed admission scores for liberal arts and sciences. Selective admission will be made to students whose cultural test scores meet the Air Force recruitment requirements and who have relatively good political qualities, physical conditions, and psychological qualities.

The elimination rate of physical examination is high, and eye, ear, nose and throat health care cannot be ignored

Physical examination is an important part of the Air Force's recruitment work. According to the past situation, a high proportion of students who take the physical examination for recruitment are eliminated every year due to poor eyesight or otolaryngology diseases. In this regard, Director Sui Guosheng reminded students to pay special attention to the health of their eyes, ears, nose and throat.

Ophthalmology: The number of students who participate in the physical examination for recruitment and are eliminated due to insufficient vision every year accounts for three-fifths of the elimination rate of the ophthalmology department. Therefore, candidates must pay great attention to it. During a vision test, excessive mental stress can cause vision loss. You can do some light activities to relax your body before the test. Excessive fatigue and lack of sleep may cause vision loss, and the effects of these factors should be avoided as much as possible. In addition, in recent years, some methods of correcting vision have emerged, such as wearing OK lenses, laser surgery, corneal ring implantation, etc. However, eyes that have undergone surgery cannot adapt to high-altitude and low-pressure environments. Therefore, the recruitment conditions stipulate that "people with corneal scars and a history of corneal refractive correction surgery are disqualified."

Otolaryngology Department: In the physical examination for recruitment, a relatively high proportion of candidates are eliminated due to otitis media. The main reason for suffering from this disease is not paying attention to maintaining hygiene in the ear hole, and not treating ear diseases in time. If there are foreign bodies or boils in the ears, they should be treated promptly.

According to the physical examination standards for pilots, patients with chronic rhinitis and sinusitis are not qualified. Because chronic rhinitis and sinusitis affect the ventilation and drainage functions of the nasal cavity. During flight, ascent or descent causes rapid changes in air pressure in the cockpit and sinus cavities, causing obstruction of the sinus openings and easily causing severe headaches. This condition is called aviation sinusitis. If colds and upper respiratory tract infections are not treated in time, they can easily lead to various types of chronic rhinitis and sinusitis. Therefore, it is necessary to promptly treat colds and upper respiratory tract infections.

Hearing: You should use headphones and Walkmans correctly at ordinary times. The volume should be controlled so that you can hear clearly. The time should not exceed 1 hour a day. In addition, improper medication is likely to cause hearing loss and deafness. Therefore, take the medicine as directed by your doctor.

Applicants need to pay attention to the secondary cultural examination

In the past, when selecting pilots among high school graduates, the selection of cultural courses was mainly based on the college entrance examination results. Starting from 2007, high school graduates participating in the Air Force recruitment will have to take a secondary selection examination in cultural courses during the centralized selection process organized by the Air Force after taking the national college entrance examination.

Since the high school pilot students to be admitted have different cultural levels, a secondary selection test for cultural courses can be conducted before admission to coordinate teaching according to the actual situation of the candidates to ensure that the students can better complete their studies after entering the school. . The subjects of the secondary selection examination are English and mathematics. Those who fail will not be admitted.

Judging from the actual recruitment situation in recent years, the proportion of liberal arts students applying for the exam has been increasing year by year. However, the Air Force Aviation University found during the teaching and training focusing on science and engineering that some liberal arts students did not have solid basic knowledge of science, had great difficulties in mastering aviation theory and other science knowledge, and found it difficult to adapt to the requirements of new equipment. Therefore, a secondary selection test for cultural courses has been added. When enrolling high school graduates, liberal arts and sciences will be separated separately, and the enrollment ratio of liberal arts will not exceed 20 of the enrollment plan.

There are two academic systems for high school student pilots

According to Director Sui Guosheng, according to the new training system, the training for admitted high school student pilots is divided into basic education and flight professional studies. Stage, the current academic system is divided into two types. One is a four-year system. The basic education lasts two years and six months, and offers more than 40 courses including undergraduate basics, military theory, political theory, physical training, and aviation theory. Students must lay a good foundation in ideological and political, scientific and cultural, military professional, and leadership skills. Fundamentals of management and physical and psychological aspects.

The flight major study period lasts for one year and six months, and you will learn and train the basic flight skills of junior trainer aircraft and advanced trainer aircraft. Upon graduation, he received a bachelor's degree in military science, was appointed deputy company flying officer, and was awarded the rank of lieutenant in the Air Force.

One is the five-year system. Basic education lasts three years and six months, and primary trainer aircraft flight training lasts half a year. Students who meet the requirements after four years of training will receive a bachelor's degree, be awarded a bachelor's degree in engineering, and enjoy the rank of deputy company officer or air force lieutenant. After completing the fifth year of advanced trainer flight training, students graduate and transfer to the aviation force. After one year of flight modification training, they obtain a bachelor's degree in military science and become a dual-bachelor pilot.

There is a difference between Air Force recruitment and military academy recruitment.

There is an essential difference between Air Force recruitment and recruitment in other military academies. The Air Force selects special military flying talents, which differs from military academies in the following ways: First, the recruitment and admission times are different.

Recruitment for the Air Force begins in November this year, while other military colleges and universities will register before and after the college entrance examination next year, and conduct military inspections and interviews after the college entrance examination. Therefore, unsuccessful candidates will not affect the admission to other military colleges or ordinary colleges and universities. Second, the assessment content has different focuses. Air Force recruitment requires a comprehensive assessment of students' political, physical, psychological and cultural qualities, while other military colleges focus on the assessment of students' political and cultural qualities. The requirements for students' physical and psychological qualities are not as strict as those for Air Force recruitment. The third is the different requirements for cultural achievements. Other colleges and universities in the military admit students based on their college entrance examination scores. The Air Force has special requirements for cultural scores when recruiting pilots. The college entrance examination scores and scores in mathematics and English subjects must meet the minimum admission control line stipulated by the Air Force. After the college entrance examination, students to be admitted must be organized. Students take the secondary selection examination for cultural courses.
