Night landing is difficult that only 60% of us navy pilot are qualified to land at night.Good high def new video. The video show bunch of J 15 look professional. It is amazing that it took Chinese navy only 6 years to complete the carrier training from nobody to professional It will take many more years for sure to hone their skill but the journey has started!
1st J-15 night deck on the Liaoning aircraft carrier
Since the first J-15 deck on the aircraft carrier Liaoning five and a half years ago, in November 2012, the subject has often returned to the carpet to know when the Chinese naval airmen will finally achieve their bridges. night.
"If you can not succeed at that, you're useless as a Hornet pilot, because we fly, and we fight, in the dark ..." . According to some figures that remain to be confirmed, only 60% of US Navy pilots are qualified to operate at night. For the French Navy, these drivers who are able to move in the dark receive the nickname: the "owls".
And it is with a video broadcast last Thursday on the national television channel CCTV-7 that the Chinese army has just confirmed the accomplishment of this milestone in the construction of its naval air forces, the latter being synonymous for many as a powerful tool for projecting the political will and also a symbol of an interventionist army.
Indeed, we can see, in a passage that lasted only 13 seconds of this television report, at least one J-15 fighter taking off in the dark of the 14 ° inclined springboard of the aircraft carrier Laioning , and successful landing of another aircraft of the same model on the same flight deck.
But as is the custom in this country, where the subtlety is required, the Chinese Navy gave no indication of the place, the date and the technical details of this operation.
The only thing we can be certain is that at least two J-15s, so two drivers, have conducted this first "test". Although the Chinese television has taken care to blur the registrations of these planes appeared on the video, but if it is done review image by image it is still possible to see two numbers, the 108 and the 113.
And these two J-15s, numbered 108 and 113 respectively, each had been the aircraft of DAI Ming Meng (戴明 盟), who is the first pilot of the Chinese navy having landed on an aircraft carrier and the former director of the department naval air forces. It is not known, however, whether this is pure coincidence.

As for the exact location of this first night bridge, some commentators mention the possibility that it was during the last exit of the Liaoning battle group in the Pacific West, or during the last maneuvers of the Chinese Navy in the China Sea. Southern.
However, for a "grand premiere" operation like this one, it seems unlikely that the Chinese navy took an ill-considered risk to lead it in potentially hostile territory, where the means of rescue are long to deploy in case of failure and the media impact could be important.
It is therefore believed that this bridge took place either between 23 and 26 April in the Bohai Sea which is close to all of the supporting infrastructure and many test facilities, or one can practically ascend to the end of 2017 when a series of "nocturnal" snapshots were published and one of the naval officers confirmed that the carrier group had completed all the test subjects planned in the program.

Nevertheless, the Chinese navy has demonstrated its determination to continue to progress in the construction of its naval air forces, with the success of this first J-15 night bridge, the entry in depth of the training subjects of more and more complex and the first exit to the sea from his second aircraft carrier.
The transformation of these working carrier and trials into combat capability deployable in all weathers should therefore remain one of the priorities of the Chinese navy, and this necessarily by the provision of a sufficient number of qualified pilots to operate Day and night.
Based on our calculation model to estimate the number of trained air and sea pilots, the Chinese Navy is expected to have between 28 and 40 trained J-15 pilots to date, and could reach as many as 46 years. by the year end
With the delivery of the second aircraft carrier expected to take place by 2019, again according to our estimate, And with each of the two aircraft carriers capable of equipping up to 24 fighters on board, there is still some way to go for the Chinese navy before the will be able to serve its naval air forces as one of the major instrument on potential theaters, whether for the area between the first and second island chains, or the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean .

For clarification only. All USN Naval Aviators must remain current in their landing qualifications. Both day and night. The qualifications are basically never ending because they expire after a time. And the pilot must be requalified.

Agreed. The USN have always maintain a high degree of standard for it's naval aviators. So taking the word "unqualified" to mean "incapable" of night landings is a very erroneous assumption. Losing night certification just for not landing at night for 2 weeks in a row is very strict indeed.For clarification only. All USN Naval Aviators must remain current in their landing qualifications.

If the PLAN is ever to emulate the US naval aviator training, then the number of certified pilots they can maintain at a time would be limited, as following the rotation a single carrier can only support so many takeoffs to certification. This puts imperative on the 2nd carrier to be put in active service if China wishes to expand the number of naval pilots.

They can even take off at night, fly for a while and land at daylight. Night qualification is take off and landing at night.
