Vietnam military pilot training process
In just 5 years, the Air Force Officer School has trained 1,109 pilots with 48,357 flights. So how hard do students have to train to become pilots?
 |
| It is a 'journey' that all young pilots of the 7X and 8X generations of Air Force Regiment 923 (Division 371, Air Defense - Air Force) must overcome before mastering the skies of the Fatherland... |
 |
| From theory to practical flight training, pilots must go through a long period of active training, from flying simulators to dry flights (ie the training process on the ground with the same procedure as that which will be performed in the air). |
 |
| For every pilot, health and the ability to handle situations are always the top priority. Simply put, in a complex aerobatic flight, the pilot sitting in the cockpit is under pressure on his body. During the aerobatic process, blood from the brain will rush to the legs, causing cerebral ischemia, which can lead to lack of alertness. |
 |
| Some people during the training of these flights have fallen into a state of uncontrollability. That is not enough to become a fighter pilot. |
 |
| Therefore, to be able to participate in good flights, each pilot must set for himself a steel discipline in physical training to supplement the vestibular system and improve health and endurance, while combining it with self-study to improve qualifications and self-improvement. The criterion of being good at foreign languages (especially Russian) is also a mandatory factor. |
 |
| It is known that the 39th Course, which was recently held by the Air Force Officer School, is the second military pilot course that the school has implemented to shorten the university training program to 4 years and is also the first year of practical flight training for helicopter pilot students without Yak-52 flight practice. |
 |
| Currently, all Yak-52 aircraft are assigned to the 920th Air Force Regiment (Air Force Officer School). All pilot students who want to fly the modern Su-27/30 fighters must undergo training on the Yak-52. |
 |
| The Yak-52 primary trainer aircraft is equipped with a Vedeneyev M14P engine with a 2-blade propeller. The Yak-52 can reach a maximum speed of 272 km/h, with a climb rate of 7 m/s. |
 |
| The Yak-52 has a range of 510km and a ceiling of 4km. To practice on a real plane, pilot students practice flying in a simulated cockpit of a Yak-52. |
 |
| In addition to the Yak-52 training aircraft, Vietnamese military pilots are also trained with the L-39 aircraft. This is a multi-purpose training aircraft developed in the Czech Republic. |
