A new batch of 16 pilots earned their aircraft carrier flyer qualifications.

6, not 16. Count the certificat frames. The other are either LSO students and/or next batch pilot students in observation on board.

There were 4 official candidates + 2 backup, including the one who is unfortunately dead in April. It means that 1 more had been included in the team recently.

They are all from fifth batch training program, see the end of my article -

It means that my prediction model remains correct so far. That also means that Chinese navy has between 16 to 22 certified pilots today.

Thanks and Sorry - me again - ... what's the exact designation and even more, what kind of "unit" is it ?

As far as I understand it, it is not a Division, not even a Regiment. Do You know the exact designation ?
What does these letters "JZZOT" (???) could mean ?

Thanks again,
Deino

And by the way Your site East Pendulum is simply amazing. Keep up that work.

jiàn zài zhàn dòujī tuán = 舰载战斗机团

Something like that. What you see as a O should be a D instead.

It is the regiment of aircraft carrier pilots.

I just wrote quickly an article around the news of this morning.

It has always been...

Thanks again ! ...

But then some more questions: In contrast to the other "regular" regiments - which were or are assigned to the Naval Aviation Divisions - this Regiment seems different !? Or am I wrong ?
And if NO, to what Division it is subordinated ?

Thanks again in advance,
Deino

Seems to be independant, but no sure.

Actually, it's JZZDJ (舰载战斗机).
