More information on Aviation Training

MOSCOW, Oct. 3 - RIA Novosti Over 500 students of the Krasnodar Higher Military Aviation School (KVVAUL, branch VUNTS Force FSI Russian "Air Force Academy") completed the flying practice in training and combat training aircraft on profiles fighter, tactical bombers, assault. , military transport, long-distance and anti-submarine aircraft, said Monday the Department of information and mass communications of the Russian Defense Ministry.

"More than 500 students of the Krasnodar Higher pilots Military School in 2016, received a solid knowledge and successfully passed the theoretical training, have been flying practice on education and training and combat aircraft flying practice was conducted in four profiles of aviation:. Fighter, frontline bombers, attack aircraft, military -Transportation, long-range aviation and anti-submarine aircraft, "- said in a statement.

About 350 students of the third course KVVAUL first took to the skies on the L-39 aircraft to airfields Tikhoretsk, Michurinsk, Maikop, Nyquist (the profiles of operational and tactical aircraft and long-range aviation); on the L-410 aircraft - with Rtishchevo airfield (on the profile of military transport aircraft).

More than 150 students of the fourth year practiced on the Yak-130 (the profile of fighter aircraft) at the airport Armavir, L-39 aircraft (the profile of distant aircraft) at the airport Kotelnikovo on AN-26 (on the profile of military transport aircraft) on Balashov airport.

The checks carried out before an independent flight cadets have shown that in general they have a good piloting technique, high moral and psychological preparation and orientation for summer work. During the period of summer internship students have mastered the technique of piloting, air navigation and combat use. Total flying time each cadet KVVAUL made more than 80 hours.

In Russia, will begin to train female military pilots

As reported by the TASS agency on August 12, 2017, the Krasnodar Aviation School for the first time in the newest Russian history will recruit girls for training in military pilots. This was stated on Saturday by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

"There are a huge number of girls who would like to become military pilots, we received hundreds of letters, so we decided - this year we will recruit the first group of girls to the Krasnodar Military Aviation School," the minister said.

"There will not be many of them - 15 people, but given the number of applications received to the Air and Space Forces, we can not but answer these requests, so from October 1 this year the first group of girls will start training for military pilots, - added Shoigu.

The Minister, who visited the celebration of the Day of Aerospace Forces in Patriot Park on August 12, expressed his hope that in five years the graduates of the school "will decorate such a holiday with their skill."

In 2009, the Krasnodar Aviation School already recruited a student, but not for flying specialties.

Results of combat training of the Air Force of the Air Forces of Russia in 2018

As the Department of Information and Mass Communications of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported on December 4, 2018, the command of the Air Force of the Russian Aerospace Forces summed up the results for 2018.

In 2018 academic year, the main efforts in the training of the Air Force of the VKS focused on maintaining the achieved level and flight crew training to perform tasks for the mission, preparing young crews for combat single day and night in simple and complex meteorological conditions and improving the qualification categories of flight composition.

The personnel of the air force took part in many combat training activities, the main of which were: the Vostok-2018 maneuvers, a special exercises exercise for the air forces in preparation for the Vostok-2018 maneuvers, an air skills training contest the Aviadarts flight crews, the BARS-2018 and Aviaindra-2018 international maneuvers, tactical flight exercises in formations and units of long-range and military transport aircraft, as well as in aviation units of the air forces and air defense armies of military districts, etc.

All the tasks in these events are completed in full and with high quality.

The flight plan in the 2018 school year was fully implemented, the total flight time increased by more than 6,000 hours compared to 2017. The average flight time per pilot was more than 100 hours, for a young pilot - graduate of 2017 more than 120 hours.

Changing the course of flight training at military aviation schools

The Izvestia newspaper published the article by Roman Kretsul and Alexei Ramm, “Accelerated Take-Off: Future Pilots Will Be Put at the Helm a Year Earlier.” Flight practice in aviation military schools will start from the second year, ”which states that cadets of Russian military aviation schools will be allowed to take part in their first flights a year earlier. Future pilots will begin flying practice from the second year, and not from the third, as now. This will provide better training for pilots and give them more hours of flight. According to experts, the new system will save serious money: students who are at odds with the sky will simply be weeded out earlier.


From the second year

The first practical flights will begin with second-year cadets this spring, sources in the Ministry of Defense told Izvestia. So early young people were not imprisoned at the helm since the days of the USSR. Second-year students who will go to serve in military transport aviation will also fly.

Previously, cadets lifted the plane into the sky at the end of the third course. They underwent initial training on L-39 aircraft, which since Soviet times were manufactured in Czechoslovakia (since 1993 in the Czech Republic) specifically for training military pilots of the Warsaw Pact countries. Cadets who are preparing for service in military transport aviation begin to fly on the L-410.

Students of the fourth and fifth courses are waiting for the Yak-130 helm. This is the first completely new, not modernized, machine created in Russia. On the Yak-130, undergraduates practice relatively complex maneuvers, control aircraft in extreme conditions, actions in case of equipment failure, the use of weapons and much more. Future pilots of military transport aviation in senior courses fly on the An-26.

Earlier, the head of the Krasnodar Higher Military Aviation School of Pilots, Major General Sergey Rumyantsev, said that the cadets will begin their first flights this year on light DA-42 aircraft. This machine weighs just over 1.2 tons, has two engines and a glass cabin providing 360-degree visibility. The flight range is about 1.5 thousand kilometers, the maximum height is about 5 thousand meters.

The aircraft, which will be the first for future VKS pilots, is assembled at the Ural Civil Aviation Plant from kits supplied by the Austrian company Diamond Aircraft Industries.

For a smaller account

Until this year, cadets had to calculate flight parameters manually, which required a longer theoretical preparation, honored test pilot, Hero of Russia Igor Malikov told Izvestia. According to him, now all complex calculations are performed by computer programs, so students can be put at the helm earlier.

- For a young man who enrolled in a flight school, waiting for flights for two years is not very correct. I started flying from the second course, - said Igor Malikov. - In Soviet times, there were even experiments when practice began right from the first year. But still, it’s better for a person to be given the opportunity to adapt, and only then to entrust the plane.

The new system has undeniable advantages, the former commander of the 4th Army of the Air Force and Air Defense, Hero of Russia, Lieutenant General Valery Gorbenko told Izvestia.

“Immediately after the first year of study there will be a large dropout, and this will help to adjust the recruitment for the next year,” the general explained. - The fact is that not everyone can fly. And you can find out only by entrusting the steering wheel to the cadet. Some by nature are not given to determine, for example, the leveling height or the speed of approach to the ground. And in combat aircraft without these qualities it is better not to land - they do not forgive such mistakes. Not everyone can withstand serious overloads, which means that they will not be able to control a combat vehicle either.


Flight savings

Cadets who have successfully learned all the subjects, but have been unsuitable for practical flights, are written off or released as officers of the combat command. If this question arises only at the end of the third year, it turns out that three years both the student and the state spent not in the most efficient way. And besides, the man all this time took the place of the one who could fly.

Under the new system, it will be possible to weed out cadets unsuitable for flights much earlier. This will save money on training pilots, said Valery Gorbenko.

- Medical commissions seriously select cadets, but still not all the nuances are immediately visible. The dropout is pretty big. In my course, 230 people were recruited, and only 130 were graduated, that is, almost half dropped out.

Last year, the Ministry of Defense seriously took care of the problem with the state of training aircraft in military universities. According to Izvestia sources, L-39 annually develop their resources, and the factories do not have time to return them to service and supply components in the proper amount. Only 30% of repaired aircraft arrive back at the parks on time. Now the VKS is armed with about 150 vehicles of this type. In September, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu dealt with the situation. In December, the head of the military department reported the problem to the board, which was held by the president. He said that operational aviation is 58% operational, and 56% for Yak-130 aircraft.

By the mid-2010s, the situation in the VKS had a difficult situation with personnel. During the reforms, the number of military schools decreased, and recruitment to flight schools was not carried out for several years. As a result, a serious personnel shortage arose. At the same time, accident rate also increased - for example, in the summer of 2015, a whole series of serious air accidents occurred in a month in which six aircraft were lost.

At the beginning of 2017, Sergei Shoigu stated that the shortage in the troops was about 1.3 thousand pilots. To eliminate the problem, they urgently extended the service life of the flight personnel and sharply increased their enrollment in universities. In the main training center of the Air Force - the Krasnodar School - the number of cadets over four years has increased from 25 to 600 people. Now about a thousand pilots come to the troops every year.
