Save the lifespan of operational WS-10A. China already bought lots of AL-31F, you not going to dump it just becos domestic engine is around.

PLA fighter jet on possible test flight crashes into building in Chengdu
Sunday, 16 November, 2014,
A People's Liberation Army fighter jet crashed in Chengdu, Sichuan yesterday.
The pilot ejected safely but at least seven people were injured at the crash site, local media quoted witnesses as saying. The cause of the accident was not reported.
The jet, operated by the Chengdu military command and said to be a prototype of an advanced Jian 10-B fighter, may have been on a test flight.
It crashed into a residential compound in Pi county at about
2pm, Xinhua.net reported.
The China News Service said at least seven people suffering burns were taken to the county's People's Hospital. Staff refused to comment on the condition of the victims when contacted by the Sunday Morning Post.
The jet struck the newly constructed residential building before plunging into an artificial lake inside the compound. Witnesses' photos posted on Weibo showed the fighter jet's Russian-made engine lying in water, broken into two pieces.
The pictures also showed a middle-aged looking pilot sitting near a parachute, a helmet and other items recovered from the wreckage.
Military analysts believe the aircraft crashed minutes after taking off because the crash site is just 10km northwest of the central commercial district of Chengdu, which is also very close to an air force base.
Police sealed the scene soon after the pilot reported the crash and his whereabouts to his base, the Chengdu-based Huaxi Metropolis Daily reported on its Weibo, adding that he was taken away by a military vehicle a few minutes later.
Macau-based military observer Antony Wong Dong said it was "good news" the pilot was able to parachute to safety. "It's lucky that the pilot was able to eject safely from his plane, and I believe he tried his best to avoid causing damage and casualties," Wong said.
Beijing-based military expert Li Jie said the pilot had been trained to land in sparsely populated areas in the event of an aircraft malfunction.
"There are many reasons why the jet crashed. It could have been an engine problem, loss of communications, even poor visibility, Li said, adding that yesterday's weather report mentioned heavy cloud over Chengdu.
Last December, a PLA pilot died after his single-seat Jian-8 fighter crashed in Anji county, Zhejiang , during a night exercise. There were no casualties reported on the ground.

That's the AL-31 in the picture. The rumor is that the engine failed at low altitude.
Finally, it is using the WS-10A engine, and it is not the prototype aircraft 1035.
Can you post pictures and specs of the Chengdu J-10 Block C ? Thanks!

Not sure about the specs of the J-10C, since very few people have mentioned about it.
How can that be the reason when AL-31 is no good? Its still the same problem but just higher thrust.
hello
i just found on wikipedia that pakistan will get fc20
In February 2006, the then President of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf, toured the J-10 and JF-17 production facilities on a trip to China during which the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) was offered the J-10,[23][24] and the purchase of 36 FC-20s, a Pakistan-specific J-10B variant, was approved in April 2006.[24] In November 2009, Pakistan signed a deal with China to buy 36 J-10B fighters in a deal worth around $1.4 billion.[25][26] Deliveries to Pakistan were expected to begin from 2014–15 and the aircraft was to be designated as FC-20 in Pakistan.[25]
In July 2011, Daily Jang reported that China will give a squadron of the advanced J-10B fighter aircraft to Pakistan. According to the report,"the offer was made by senior Chinese military leaders to visiting Pakistan Army's Chief of General Staff, Lt Gen Waheed Arshad".[27][28] In March 2012, talks were held between the two countries to discuss the delivery of latest J-10B fighter jets to Pakistan

The deal was cancelled. PAF short of fund and JF-17 has higher priority as they are on verge of replacing many aircrafts.

Indian use AL 31FP while chinese use Al 31 FN.While its quite funny that Chinese team and members jumped to conclusion that its the engine issue without investigating which usually takes more than a week or so depend on severity.In this case it shows the amount of professionalism by PLAF and trying to cover up their failures or Industry by putting under the carpet.
