We all are here for the same purpose. However, going by 5he words, it says that now an overhaul facility for JF is being established in China. So only this point actually proves that project is moving ahead and such arrangements are in place for any customer support. Also, we may expect that our Block I will be sent to same facility initially.

 

[Path-Finder]

Could the airframe be getting more composite than it was before? As enough hours have been clocked, data collected for studying characteristics!

justy taking a stab in the dark

 

[Thorough Pro]

Is that a Thunder twin seater in the back? All ready and painted with Pak flag.

I don't know why would China like to have OVERHAUL facility for JF-17 they are not operating any JF-17 additionally we also know that an overhaul facility of JF-17 already exist in Pakistan in fact we have already overhaul some JF-17s from earlier batch

FT-7P.

FT-7P.

sir isnt it the sign of thunder on jet in the back?

 

[CriticalThought]

There are reasons which raise some questions on this overhaul facility

1- New JF-17/FC-1 will not require overhaul for at least 8-10 years, which mean any new customer for JF-17 will not avail this facility for the period mention above

2- We know only Myanmar has ordered 16 jets and yet has not received any JF-17/FC-1, the other customer Niger as per some reports ordered only 3-4 JF-17 so a FACILITY for OVERHAUL of just 20 jets is not a right decision (keep in mind overhaul will be due after 8-10 years of operations)

3- Which mean this facility would be used for the JF-17 fleet serving PAF (if its really an OVERHAUL facility [google translation is confusing]), which further mean either our existing overhaul facility for JF-17 is not big enough to handle the current requirement or we have outsourced the overhauling of JF-17 to China

So far what @hackerdelight said makes perfect sense. That 3rd gen refers to Thunder vs 2nd gen F7s.

Also, if you look at the flag in the pic, it clearly says JF-17 vs FC-1. So this relates specifically to the Pakistani JF-17.

I think one important point lost in the translation is that PAC is part of the 4 organizations involved in the project. Look at the full Google translation I posted above. So definitely this is about PAC acquiring overhaul capability eventually, once the ground work is completed in China.

Referring to the two-seater. Someone asked if it was JF-17B (twin-seater), but it is clearly an FT-7P (one in the back).

China Aviation News: November 7, the first aircraft industry, "Fierce Dragon" aircraft overhaul and construction of the project started in the aviation industry long flight, from Pakistan, Aviation Industry Defense Engineering, CATIC, Chengdu, Chengdu, the leadership Attend the ceremony. The ceremony read out the Notice on Clarifying the Responsibilities and Implementing the Division of Work of the Project Management Team of Xiaolong Aircraft Overhaul Line Project and giving the banner to the Pioneer Team of Xiaolong Aircraft Overhaul Line.

Both Pakistani and Chinese sides said they will give their full support to the pilot trial of the first aircraft of the FIA industry. Through the joint efforts, the aircraft will be built into another gold business card of the aviation industry to make a friendship between China and Pakistan. Due contribution.

The "Xiaolong" aircraft overhaul line project is a military trade project jointly implemented by four aviation and aerospace industry companies, including CATIC, Chengdu and Chengfei. Changfei is the main unit of the project. The launch of the first "Xiaolong" aircraft overhaul and construction project marks the march of the aviation industry's military and military aircraft from the second generation machine repair to the third generation machine repair and will surely play a positive role in promoting the development of aviation manufacturing and aviation maintenance overseas markets effect.

It looks like it’s a project to enhance overall tools, methods and technology from 2g to 3g

Or to employ new overhauling techniques for overhauling jf May be less time effort and cost plus benefits etc rather than traditional methods

Most western system the aircraft does not go offline but each subsystem/complement is swapped after xxx hours and sent for overhauling

Like engine, radar, wing Etc plug and play

Older f6/7 mirage etc complete aircraft is down or away from flight lines for months at a time for overhaul/4th line maintenance

no its FT-7

 

[fatman17]

Block-III work is already commenced and it is about an overhaul facility as both subjects are different in nature of work.

@Horus @Tempest II @Dazzler @TaimiKhan @fatman17 @HRK and others.

probably for overhauls of FC-1 sold to other nations plus engine overhaul. I don't know if PAC Kamra can overhaul the RD93 even though it has vast experience of engine overhauls.

 

[VCheng]

for overhauls of FC-1 sold to other nations

I said the same thing but it was deleted.

China will try to to sell this joint-venture identical excellent aircraft to many nations and it is planning to offer good servicing backup as part of its joint venture excellent plan, of course.
