PLAAF Officer/Pilot Training Programs

JASDF pilots wouldn't know one way or the other since they do not engage in any dogfights with PLAAF during scramble. They only fly out to intercept, radio in that they had entered Japan air space and escort them out.

@SamuraiBlue, could you please help by shedding some light on ... ...

1) Does JASDF Air Force has similar Transparent Combat Dogfighting competition such as PLAAF Golden Helmet Combat Dogfighting Transparent competition ?

2) How do JASDF pilots spend their routine working day ?

3) How many hours do JASDF pilots spend in Combat Dogfighting exercise ?

4) How many days do they work per week ?

Usually military does not indulge in PR stunts providing training information.
if you want to call it an open doors policy that's fine but in my humble belief civilians don't need a hero based on who is top dog in training.
Training schedules are not open source but I believe fighter pilots takes 5 hour shift on stand-by for scramble and this is kept on 24/7 readiness. I recall there are three pilots which makes a squadron and 3 squadrons stationed at various bases are on scramble stand-by.
Beside that I believe there was a requirement of at least 90 hours minimum per year flying to maintain their pilot status.
Fighter pilots are in air around 200 hours a year at average.
Japan also has a aggressor training squadron.



There are some urban legends about simulated dog fights between the USN top gun aggressors against the JASDF aggressor squadron in which all USN pilots filed a request for re-training after they fought with JASDF pilots with dismal results all hearing kill calls from them.

I must admit, in some countries they wouldn't even allow the face of elite pilots/troops/sailors/marines to be shown. They blur/hide the face during interviews.

Regarding this topic ... here's a IMO "must read" report by our well known "Feng" !




But just one - maybe stupid - question since he mentions a "recent book by CMSI really did a good job on this topic and I hope that this piece" !

Is it this book:



Thanks in advance,
