What do you need to be a captain? What is your college education?
First of all, you should have certain physical conditions. Because you fly a plane with hundreds of millions of yuan, you have to be responsible for the life safety of hundreds of people. You have high physical requirements for pilots, good eyesight, no family hereditary diseases, quick response and high requirements for comprehensive physical fitness. Have certain physical conditions, and then become a flight student through study and training. At present, there are four non-military colleges and universities in China: Civil Aviation Flight Academy of China, Civil Aviation Academy of China, Beihang University and Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. These schools select students who have passed the physical examination and political examination from high school graduates, and choose the best candidates according to the results of the college entrance examination. There are generally two ways to train pilots: one is for students to study flight theory knowledge in China for three years, and to train "live ammunition" driving skills in foreign flight schools for one year, such as Civil Aviation College of China, Beihang University and Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics; One is that theoretical knowledge and driving skills are trained independently in China, such as China Civil Aviation Flight Academy. Although the schools that train pilots have tried their best to expand their enrollment, they still can't meet the needs of pilots brought about by the increase in the number of aircraft. Therefore, some colleges and universities, such as Civil Aviation Flight Academy, recruit second-and third-year boys from other colleges and universities, and transfer to the flight academy to study flying and become "quasi-pilots". If you want to be a pilot after graduation and meet the physical conditions, you can go to Pan American Aviation School in Beijing for a training period of 14 months and work as a pilot in an airline after graduation. In addition, it is also a way for military pilots to switch to civilian pilots. Military pilots contact the employer with the relevant flight experience certificate issued by the army. After the candidate unit agrees to accept it, it will be trained as a civil aviation pilot according to its experience in flying in the army and relevant laws and standards. At present, only China Civil Aviation Flight Academy and Shijiazhuang Pan American Aviation School can train modified pilots. Whether studying in a civil aviation college or training at Pan American International Aviation School in Beijing, the learning cost of pilots is not small, generally around 600,000 RMB. Usually, the pilot does not have to pay this fee personally, but is paid by the airline that the pilot will serve in the future. Of course, flight students sign contracts with airlines as soon as they enter the training college, and then enter counterpart companies to engage in flight work after graduation. Although pilot training is not a small expense, some people have learned to fly at their own expense so that they can choose their own airlines after graduation. A new pilot who just graduated from school has to study on the ground for one to one and a half years before boarding the plane, and then work as an observer and safety officer on the plane for at least half a year. During this period, they mainly use simulators for flight training. If you are officially employed as the second co-pilot for more than one year, you can be promoted to the first co-pilot. Then accumulate experience, and it will take five years at the earliest to become a captain. At present, in some domestic airlines, the captain's annual salary can reach more than 500 thousand, and his career is stable, and his retirement age can exceed 50 years old. Experienced pilots can fly to 60 before retiring.
