Top Gun Ladies to be Trained in Krasnodar, Southern Russia
In Krasnodar, admission began in the Higher Aviation School. This year, special admission of female cadets was announced for the first time. But their tests are as tough as for men. The competition is a record. More than 100 girls are applying for 15 places. Anna Sorokina will tell how the candidates are being selected for the first women's squadron of the Russian army.
Girls from all over Russia came to Krasnodar for the sake of the dream of becoming a military pilot. The competition is tough. 10 applicants per place. But, for its sake, they are ready for any tests. The pressure chamber imitates elevation of 5 thousand meters. The body is checked for G stress. The Barany chair. For three minutes, sitting on it, the applicant shakes her head and turns around with her eyes closed.
I used to ride a carousel, now I feel great. I liked it. This device checks the accuracy and speed of the reaction. Famous pilots and cosmonauts went through the same tests. They need to react to the lights. To react quickly. Since my childhood, I've dreamed of becoming a military. Even when I took a passenger plane, I felt something inside, it was encouraging. I felt that becoming a pilot is my destiny. The psychophysiological laboratory. Here, they check memory, efficiency, logic, and even the ability to anticipate events. The time spent on an assignment can influence the evaluation. For a pilot, not only accuracy is important, but also speed.
These are important qualities that the pilot needs to successfully master the profession. A resident of Krasnodar Anastasiya Fisenko has sensors on her hands. They check the frequency of her pulse. In 10 minutes, she need to solve several mathematics tasks. We create a stressful situation in the laboratory. In addition to exam stress, there is still informational stress. This way the commission conducts an assessment of the stress resistance of a future pilot.
All this goes together with the noise in the headphones and little time. 16. 17, 21. This turns out to be much more complicated than you think. Especially when you hear that the situation is critical and when the connection isn’t good. My parents, knowing about my love for this profession, gave me this plane. The applicants have to pass not only sports tests but also the usual examinations in mathematics, physics, and the Russian language. Future pilots will pass tests for compliance with the profession every year. But, of course, the biggest test is the first flight.
Someone has it earlier, someone later. But before one takes the wheel of the airplane, the cadet goes up to the sky several times with an instructor pilot. What kind of planes they will fly is determined during three years of training. In the process of initial flight training, in the process of working with them, during flights on the simulator, we will determine their field of work. Admission committee consists of stars and highly qualified specialists. They will name the best on September 24. Out of 118 girls, only 15 can become pilots.
