With the rapid development of civil aviation industry, the lack of civil aviation pilots has become a bottleneck hindering the development of aviation enterprises. According to statistics, the turnover of air passengers in China increased by 40% last year, reaching1.200 million passengers. By the end of 20 10, the annual operation volume of general aviation was 172626.9 hours, the total annual flight hours were 3494510.4 hours, the total operation volume was 665000 hours, and the total flight hours were 138 hours. The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) predicts that it will increase by nearly 30% this year. According to the statistics of the Civil Aviation Administration, the total number of pilots in China's aviation enterprises is about 1 1 000, which just meets the demand of equipping more than 800 domestic aircraft. However, about 65,438+0,000 of them are nearing retirement age, but 863 aircraft are still in operation in Chinese mainland. At present, the supply and demand of mainland pilots are basically balanced. But in the next 20 years, China's civil aviation market will add nearly 3,837 aircraft. Although the introduction of these aircraft is put into use in batches year by year, the introduction of nearly 300 aircraft every year breaks the balance between supply and demand that China civil aviation pilots barely maintain. If a transport plane needs 16-20 pilots and a general-purpose plane needs 3-6 pilots, China Civil Aviation will add nearly 300 aircraft every year. Coupled with the natural retirement and physical condition of pilots, China needs to add 2,000-2,500 qualified pilots every year. At present, more and more aviation enterprises feel that the number of pilots in their hands is insufficient, which is far from meeting the development needs of enterprises.

Therefore, in the next few years, there will still be serious pilot faults and shortages in Chinese mainland. According to authoritative estimates, China needs at least 40,000 more pilots in the next 20 years, but the current training speed in China is far from meeting this demand.
