The progress of female pilot training is an important indicator of the maturity and systemization of the shipborne aviation talent selection and training system, a military affairs expert said. Smears by some foreign media about China's pilot training capabilities are, in essence, a projection of the West's own anxieties over talent shortages, the expert added.
"Night landings are tougher than I imagined. The entire sea is pitch black. It's hard to tell where the sea ends and the sky begins. It's very easy to become disoriented," said Han Meng, a female trainee pilot at the Naval Aviation University, in the CCTV News video.
"Completing today's landing mission has given me a clearer understanding of my own abilities. I'm about to graduate, and I feel more confident about heading to my post and carrying out various maritime and far-sea missions I'll be assigned," she added.
The CCTV News report showed that the assessment featured a Z-8 helicopter landing on the aft flight deck of a vessel.
CCTV reported on Friday that the first batch of female shipborne pilot trainees had all recently passed their daytime shipborne landing qualification assessments. Shipborne landing is a critical milestone in a shipborne pilot's development, often described as the "certificate" to real naval aviation. Passing this assessment marks a significant step in the PLA Navy's efforts to cultivate female shipborne aviation talent.
All pilot trainees, regardless of gender, must meet the same rigorous physical and psychological standards required for shipborne aviation. The successful qualification of these female trainees demonstrates that the selection and training systems are capable of identifying and developing top-tier talent based on capability, not gender, Zhang Junshe, a Chinese military affairs expert, told the Global Times on Sunday. 
In recent years, the PLA Navy's shipborne aviation talent development has entered a new phase of system-of-systems operations, transitioning from "able to fly and land on ships" to "able to fight and operate jointly," PLA Daily reported on April 22.
Under the synchronized training objectives of developing pilots, combatants and commanders, new pathways for talent cultivation are being explored, including growth opportunities for shipborne fighter and helicopter pilots. Training programs are being optimized across all elements, support resources coordinated across all domains, and implementation advanced across all processes, forming a systematic, integrated talent development framework.
Zhang also mentioned that foreign media outlets have hyped claims of a "pilot shortage" in China or that "talent development cannot keep pace with equipment delivery." Such claims are largely based on selective data comparisons and misunderstandings of China's aviation development, essentially reflecting the West's own anxieties about talent.
First, foreign media outlets often simply compare the total number of licensed pilots in China with that of the US, ignoring differences in population size, the prevalence of aviation culture and historical development. China's nationwide selection process draws from a vast pool of candidates, ensuring high overall pilot quality and building a strong reserve of aviation talent, Zhang noted.
In July, the PLA Navy's 2026 pilot recruitment process was successfully completed. The average college entrance examination scores of admitted pilot trainees reached a record high. In recent years, through extensive outreach and publicity campaigns, enthusiasm among young applicants has continued to grow, with the recruitment pool expanding year by year.
The Navy's recruitment authorities have established carrier-based flight aptitude assessment platforms, introduced new testing technologies including virtual reality and biofeedback, and improved the comprehensiveness and accuracy of flight aptitude evaluations, said the PLA Navy.
Meanwhile, China has established a diversified training system encompassing academy training, airline-commissioned training and civilian supplementary pathways. Through general aviation development, China is expanding its civilian talent reserve and gradually narrowing the gap with leading aviation nations, the expert said.
Moreover, modern air warfare is a complex system undertaking, relying not only on the number of pilots but also on comprehensive system-of-systems support across strategic early warning, electronic warfare, command communications and ground maintenance. The leapfrog development of China's aviation equipment is built on overall improvements in comprehensive national strength and the aviation industrial system, rather than a simple linear increase in pilot numbers, Zhang added.
。    The upcoming third season of Wednesday has grabbed attention due to a big casting announcement. The French actress Eva Green, known for her roles in films such as Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children and Dark Shadows, will be joining Wednesday Season 3 as Aunt Ophelia, the long-absent sister of Morticia Addams.           This marks Green's return to a project under the direction of Tim Burton and introduces a new element to the Addams Family story. The show's creators, Al Gough and Miles Millar, said, “Eva Green has always brought an exhilarating, singular presence to the screen, elegant, haunting, and beautifully unpredictable. Those qualities make her the perfect choice for Aunt Ophelia.”          Green also expressed her excitement, saying, “I’m thrilled to join the woefully twisted world of Wednesday as Aunt Ophelia. This show is such a deliciously dark and witty world, I can’t wait to bring my own touch of cuckoo-ness to the Addams family.”           Aunt Ophelia was referenced throughout Season 2 but her full appearance was not revealed. Viewers caught a brief glimpse of her in the final episode, from behind, wearing a flower crown and writing the words “Wednesday must die” on a wall. In the story, Morticia describes her sister as having gone missing after losing control of her powers as a Raven. This connects with Wednesday’s own challenges in managing her psychic abilities, which caused black tears in Season 2.           The Season 2 finale concluded with Morticia giving Wednesday Ophelia’s old journal, which eventually triggered a vision of Ophelia locked in a dark room inside Grandmama Hester’s mansion. Millar explained that Ophelia’s disappearance has created a void in Morticia’s life and many unresolved questions, further stating that her return is expected to hugely impact this family. Gough said that her introduction was always intended to be surprising and to directly set the stage for Season 3.           The main cast also includes Jenna Ortega, Emma Myers, Hunter Doohan, Joy Sunday, and Moosa Mostafa among others.Also Read: Akshay Oberoi Confirms Being a Part of Shah Rukh Khan’s King, Says ’My Checklist Is Complete Now’。
