Over the past decade, the mainland's naval strength has undergone earth-shaking changes, aircraft carriers, destroyers and other "sea monsters" have been launched, and China seems to have no rivals in the nearby waters.
However, there is still a big gap between the mainland and the United States in terms of naval hard power, and this gap is not only reflected in the navy's weapons and equipment, but also in the number of elite navies, such as the number of carrier-based aircraft pilots.
Huge volume gaps
Unlike ordinary air force pilots, carrier-based aircraft pilots take off and land on aircraft carriers, which can be regarded as "making a dojo in screws."
It is precisely because of such driving conditions that the mission risk of carrier-based aircraft pilots is far greater than that of ordinary pilots, and even the degree of danger of astronauts is only one-fifth of that of carrier-based aircraft pilots.
For example, if the carrier-based aircraft lands too fast, the blocking cable will have a huge load on the pilot's lumbar spine and spine; The take-off environment of carrier-based aircraft is complex, and all kinds of personnel and other aircraft will have an impact on their landing.
Moreover, the place where the carrier-based aircraft performed their mission was the sea, and there was no reference on the sea surface, so pilots could easily have delusions.
All kinds of factors are intertwined, and the piloting risk of carrier-based aircraft pilots can be imagined. However, the take-off and landing locations of carrier-based aircraft are complex, and the requirements for the personal quality and driving level of the pilots are extremely high.

From this, carrier-based aircraft pilots of various countries are absolutely valuable "assets"! Combined, there are less than 2,000 carrier-based aircraft pilots in active service in the world.
Among them, there are more than 1,000 carrier-based pilots in the United States, while there are only 200 carrier-based pilots on the mainland, and the gap between the two is still relatively large.
Even though the population gap between the two countries is huge, the mainland has not been able to bridge this gap, and the main reason for this is that the mainland started too late in this regard.
Why is there such a big gap?
In order to develop carrier-based aircraft pilots, it is necessary to have aircraft carriers first of all. The launch of the mainland's first aircraft carrier was already in 2012, which is only 12 years ago, and the time for the development of carrier-based aircraft is extremely limited.
In such a short period of time, the mainland can only slowly explore the training method of carrier-based aircraft pilots, and it is impossible to achieve "mass production".
More importantly, the mainland currently has only three aircraft carriers, and the main ones that can keep up with the world's aircraft carrier standards are the Shandong and Fujian ships, and the number of carrier-based aircraft itself is not much, and there is no need for so many pilots.
The situation in the United States is diametrically opposed to that of the continent. The United States had its first aircraft carrier as early as 1922, and now it has 11 aircraft carrier battle groups, and these 11 aircraft carriers are all nuclear-powered aircraft carriers!
Therefore, the United States has a great demand for carrier-based aircraft and pilots, and at least these 11 aircraft carrier battle groups must have combat effectiveness and deterrence!
This is the fundamental reason for the large number of pilots in carrier-based aircraft in the United States, not to mention whether other countries can train so many pilots, other countries do not have this demand in the first place.
In addition, the strength of the US Navy and Air Force is unique in the world, and it has the world's richest experience in aircraft carrier operations, and the United States also has its own set of methods for training carrier-based aircraft pilots.
During World War II, in order to defeat Japan in the Pacific War, the United States directly recruited pilots in universities, and after about a year of training, these college students were able to go to the battlefield.
As a result, the United States has twice as many pilots as Japan, and even if Japan uses the "jade crushing" tactic, it will still not be able to win the battle in the Pacific.
After World War II, the United States refined its pilot training model and initially recruited carrier-based aircraft pilots from various channels such as society and naval schools.
These pilots are first trained in civil aviation schools, and those who perform well are trained on U.S. naval bases.
At the naval base, these pilots need to meet the requirements of the US Navy on various training aircraft, and the pilots who meet the standards obtain carrier-based aircraft flight qualifications, and are finally assigned to various aircraft carriers by the US Navy.
As a result, the United States has acquired a large number of highly skilled carrier-based aircraft pilots, and these pilots are also the precious "global strike force" of the United States.
The process in the United States sounds simple, but in fact it is very complicated, and every carrier-based aircraft pilot is the best of the best; The selection of pilots of carrier-based aircraft on the mainland is even more demanding, and everyone can be regarded as a gifted person!
How difficult is the training of carrier-based pilots?
Not to mention how difficult it is to train them, we can see from the selection process that the mainland attaches great importance to carrier-based pilots.
In high school, candidates undergo more than 200 physical tests and dozens of physical tests, including anti-vertigo tests and mood swing tests.
As long as one item is not qualified, the selected person will be brushed off. Therefore, all the people who can be selected as carrier-based aircraft pilots have strong physical and psychological qualities, and it is not an exaggeration to say that "Mount Tai collapses in front and does not change its color."
It is not enough to have a good physique, the level of cultural courses of carrier-based aircraft pilots must reach the score line of two or even one book, and those who are excellent in both physical and academic performance can enter the Naval Aviation University.
Their college life is different from ordinary people, and they don't have any ease at all. During college, they must complete flight training and theoretical studies, and those who do not meet the standards are eliminated.
At the same time, carrier-based aircraft pilots should also pay attention to physical training and participate in special physical fitness examinations. Only those who have passed all the exams can learn to fly an airplane.
The trainees must master all the driving skills of several basic models, and at least pass the grade; Those seeded students who fly carrier-based aircraft must pass with full honors.
This is still a requirement for students, and if it is a requirement for active pilots, this requirement will be more stringent. For example, age, flight time, flight duration of third-generation fighters, whether they have participated in exercise missions, etc.
Pilots who meet all the conditions can start thousands of take-off and landing training until they are completely proficient in all flight operations.
CCTV2020-11-07: How to become a carrier-based aircraft pilot
With such a harsh selection and such strict training, the number of carrier-based aircraft pilots is extremely rare, and the mainland has not been able to train a large number of carrier-based aircraft pilots in a short period of time.
Carrier-based aircraft follow the aircraft carrier's fighters, have the ability to strike accurately across sea areas, and are extremely deterrent maritime forces. The United States has relied on aircraft carrier battle groups to build maritime supremacy around the world, and the mainland must narrow this gap in order to protect itself.
