The 2024 Government Work Report proposed: "Accelerate the development of cutting-edge emerging hydrogen energy, new materials, innovative drugs and other industries, and actively create new growth engines such as biomanufacturing, commercial aerospace, and low-altitude economy."
The words "low-altitude economy" appear in the government work report for the first time
At present, low-altitude economy has been widely used in the fields of scenic tours, urban security, medical rescue, emergency rescue, agriculture, forestry and plant protection, power inspection and other fields. It integrates and develops with more economic and social activities, constantly opens up new application scenarios and business models, and significantly improves the efficiency of economic and social activities and user experience.
As a representative of new productive forces, the low-altitude economy is an important choice for cultivating and developing new momentum, and is also an important strategic emerging industry direction for global competition. Some institutions estimate that the global low-altitude economy will reach a market size of hundreds of billions of dollars in 2022 and will maintain rapid growth.
Strive to seize new development opportunities
Today, travel is becoming more and more convenient. As the low-altitude economy continues to advance and the construction of general aviation infrastructure continues to improve, general aviation has gradually entered the public eye. Flying has become a popular travel method that combines convenience and experience. To get a helicopter Pilot license will definitely become a trend in the future!

Complete physical examination
According to the regulations of CCAR-67, applying for a private license requires obtaining a current and valid Class II or Class I physical examination certificate issued by the Civil Aviation Administration of China.
It is recommended that after contacting the training institution, the training institution should apply for a personal aviation physical examination to the aviation health department of the local civil aviation regional administration.
The physical examination for privately licensed pilots under 40 years old is valid for 36 months, for those over 40 years old, it is 24 months, and for those over 50 years old, it is 12 months.
Apply for a student license
After obtaining the medical certificate, you can apply for a "civil aircraft student pilot license", which is also the so-called student license. Specifically, the training institution shall apply to the local civil aviation regional bureau for processing.
Flight training for a private license requires 40 hours, which mainly includes aviation regulations, general knowledge of aircraft, flight performance, planning and loading, human performance, meteorology, piloting, operating procedures, flight principles, and radio communications;
After completing the theoretical training, you can go to the civil aircraft pilot license theory test site authorized by the Civil Aviation Administration to take the test.
The private license theory test consists of 80 questions, with a full score of 100 points, and a passing score of 80 points.
According to the latest requirements of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, at least 40 hours of flight training are required, including at least 20 hours of dual flying, 10 hours of solo flying, including 3 hours of transition, 3 hours of night flying, 3 hour meter (IFR) etc.
Helicopters use Visual Flying Rules (VFR) when flying.
Visual flying relies on reading charts and finding ground landmarks to navigate, so you cannot fly when the visibility is too low or the clouds are too low.
And you also need to visually avoid traffic at low altitudes! Before turning, be sure to check to see if there are other obstacles nearby to avoid collision.
The duration of the entire flight training is about three to four months, depending on the student's acceptance ability and some unknown factors.
Apply for a pilot license
After completing the theoretical training, passing the theoretical examination and flight training, and passing the practical examination, the training institution can apply for a license from the local Civil Aviation Administration of China.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China has seven regional administration offices, with offices located in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Shenyang, Xi'an and Urumqi. Friends who apply for a private pilot license can apply for it nearby.
After approval, the regional administration will issue a temporary civil aircraft pilot license and submit the materials to the Civil Aviation Administration. After approval, the Civil Aviation Administration will issue a formal civil aircraft private pilot license.
