The progress of female pilot training is an important indicator of the maturity and systemization of the shipborne aviation talent selection and training system, a military affairs expert said. Smears by some foreign media about China's pilot training capabilities are, in essence, a projection of the West's own anxieties over talent shortages, the expert added.
"Night landings are tougher than I imagined. The entire sea is pitch black. It's hard to tell where the sea ends and the sky begins. It's very easy to become disoriented," said Han Meng, a female trainee pilot at the Naval Aviation University, in the CCTV News video.
"Completing today's landing mission has given me a clearer understanding of my own abilities. I'm about to graduate, and I feel more confident about heading to my post and carrying out various maritime and far-sea missions I'll be assigned," she added.
The CCTV News report showed that the assessment featured a Z-8 helicopter landing on the aft flight deck of a vessel.
CCTV reported on Friday that the first batch of female shipborne pilot trainees had all recently passed their daytime shipborne landing qualification assessments. Shipborne landing is a critical milestone in a shipborne pilot's development, often described as the "certificate" to real naval aviation. Passing this assessment marks a significant step in the PLA Navy's efforts to cultivate female shipborne aviation talent.
All pilot trainees, regardless of gender, must meet the same rigorous physical and psychological standards required for shipborne aviation. The successful qualification of these female trainees demonstrates that the selection and training systems are capable of identifying and developing top-tier talent based on capability, not gender, Zhang Junshe, a Chinese military affairs expert, told the Global Times on Sunday. 
In recent years, the PLA Navy's shipborne aviation talent development has entered a new phase of system-of-systems operations, transitioning from "able to fly and land on ships" to "able to fight and operate jointly," PLA Daily reported on April 22.
Under the synchronized training objectives of developing pilots, combatants and commanders, new pathways for talent cultivation are being explored, including growth opportunities for shipborne fighter and helicopter pilots. Training programs are being optimized across all elements, support resources coordinated across all domains, and implementation advanced across all processes, forming a systematic, integrated talent development framework.
Zhang also mentioned that foreign media outlets have hyped claims of a "pilot shortage" in China or that "talent development cannot keep pace with equipment delivery." Such claims are largely based on selective data comparisons and misunderstandings of China's aviation development, essentially reflecting the West's own anxieties about talent.
First, foreign media outlets often simply compare the total number of licensed pilots in China with that of the US, ignoring differences in population size, the prevalence of aviation culture and historical development. China's nationwide selection process draws from a vast pool of candidates, ensuring high overall pilot quality and building a strong reserve of aviation talent, Zhang noted.
In July, the PLA Navy's 2026 pilot recruitment process was successfully completed. The average college entrance examination scores of admitted pilot trainees reached a record high. In recent years, through extensive outreach and publicity campaigns, enthusiasm among young applicants has continued to grow, with the recruitment pool expanding year by year.
The Navy's recruitment authorities have established carrier-based flight aptitude assessment platforms, introduced new testing technologies including virtual reality and biofeedback, and improved the comprehensiveness and accuracy of flight aptitude evaluations, said the PLA Navy.
Meanwhile, China has established a diversified training system encompassing academy training, airline-commissioned training and civilian supplementary pathways. Through general aviation development, China is expanding its civilian talent reserve and gradually narrowing the gap with leading aviation nations, the expert said.
Moreover, modern air warfare is a complex system undertaking, relying not only on the number of pilots but also on comprehensive system-of-systems support across strategic early warning, electronic warfare, command communications and ground maintenance. The leapfrog development of China's aviation equipment is built on overall improvements in comprehensive national strength and the aviation industrial system, rather than a simple linear increase in pilot numbers, Zhang added.
。    国庆庆典开始之际突然下起大雨，一度令现场观众猝不及防。

二 | 不过，受访观众表示，大雨丝毫没有浇熄他们的热情，依旧兴致勃勃地在现场观看庆典，庆祝我国59岁生日。50岁公务员洪美莉接受《8视界新闻网》访问时透露，这是她第一次到现场观看国庆庆典，没想到就遇上了“难得一遇”的大雨情况。她坦言，当时突降大雨，虽然她与朋友都心想情况“糟糕”，但也都非常镇定地穿上雨衣，做好防雨措施。“我就觉得糟糕了，（竟然）下雨，可是我们又相信说雨一定会停的。没有减少（我们的热情），你看雨（最终）停了。”一家六口一起到场看庆典的39岁公务员周女士则透露，虽然一度天公不作美，但他们仍兴致勃勃地观看表演，丝毫没有受到影响。我国1966年和1968年的国庆庆典也曾下大雨，当时所有步操队伍丝毫不畏惧风雨，仍冒雨前进，彰显了爱国情怀。庆典表演谈及包容多元性 观众：很感人 今年的国庆庆典表演也赢得一片好评，一些观众就在《8视界新闻网》的YouTube直播评论区表示，庆典“比巴黎奥运好看多了”。表演环节第四幕和第五幕分别谈及包容社会多元性，并且相互扶持，通过激动人心和家喻户晓的歌曲，来致敬我国文化多样性，同时展示普通百姓如何不遗余力地提升社会。洪美莉认为，这些表演令她非常感动，因为以往国庆庆典主要谈及保卫国家的重要性，但今年却谈到了社会包容性，非常特别。
