 ◆ China Trains Flight Supervisors

Eight Chinese aircraft pilots are receiving a 72-week training program to become European-standard flight supervisors.

The trainees are from the General Administration of Civil Aviation of China (CAAC) and major airlines across the country, according to sources from Airbus China company.

The training program is carried out jointly by the CAAC, Chinese airlines, the European Union, and Airbus of France.

CAAC Director Yang Yuanyuan supports the training program, which, he believes, is of great importance to the improvement of China's flight safety.

Trainees will be trained on subjects ranging from the operation of airplanes and aircraft assessments to surveys of accidents both in China and in Europe. And the course will be finished within two years.

Four other pilots have already graduated from the training program and returned to their previous posts.
