So China never selected a trainer for carrier pilot training ?
What happened to those “potential” carrier trainers

J-15 carrier-borne fighter thread
- Thread starter Jeff Head
- Start date
on the road as I think
That is indeed a very pretty airplane, and due to its nice wing and fuse shaping should have lots of lift,,, but having said that, how will it do flying off the ramp??
To my knowledge, (admittedly spotty), I don't know that anyone has flown a light fixed wing aircraft in that thrust range off a ramp???
I'm sure it will be a stand alongside trainer to the J-15, but I'm not sure it will operate off the boat? I don't see a hook?

Well JL-9G was meant to be used don’t know what happened
L15 for carrier ? Doubt it
J15S might be the only unit now

I think It is only used to train naval aviation for now.

I have heard from the Indian , but it is no success.
Yes, I believe you are right, maybe you can dig up the video of the Tejas operating off the ramp,,, how does Tejas compare in thrust??
This means they no longer hire carrier pilots from PLAAF. Instead the new carrier pilots will be trained through the PLAN aviation pipeline.
L15 is used to train naval pilots, some of which will become carrier pilots in the future. This does not necessarily mean L15 will be used in carrier training. If they show the tailhook in the future, we will know.
