I'm not sure I'm the right person to ask. They are far more knowledgeable members here who can answer better than me.
Guys please feel free to reply.
Pilots still go through CJ-6 for basic training before progressing onto JL-9/JL-10 for advanced training. Scroll back a couple pages and you'll see pictures of the cockpits of the CJ-6's having their gyro vacuum indicators replaced with glass-cockpit panels.
Thanks boht for reply.
Yes, I saw the modernized cockpit in the CJ-6, but the rest of the plane no change. So, is my opinon, the steep beatwen CJ-6 and J-8 is too long, but I suppuse that China Air Force is pleased whit his performance
I'd say its a fairly similar level of progression or learning curve if you were to compare our training pipeline to fast jet training in the US or UK, where pilots moved from the T-6/Texan T1 (same plane, different designation) to T-38 and Hawk T1/T-45 (again same plane, different designation)... But hey to each their own.
Thanks
Pardon to contradict ... from all i read that is nothing more than a private venture program to sell this modernised version to civil contractors. At least there is not yet an official PLAAF connection known and the regular PLAAF CJ-6 cockpits are still analogue.
Whoops my bad
