Captain Wang Yaping, 32, a Transport Pilot in the People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF), and another currently unidentified colleague were selected in March, from a pool of fifteen female candidates, and joined five male jet fighter pilots to form China’s second taikonaut group.

Pilot’s inattention resulted in jet crash
12-17-2010 16:56 여성 음성 듣기 남성 음성 듣기
The fatal crash of an RF-4C surveillance aircraft last month was caused by the impairment of “selective attention” by the pilots, the Air Force said Friday.
“The investigation suggested that a pilot suffered from impairment of selective attention and failed to recognize the altitude, while the aircraft was flying a low-altitude mission to capture images of a target area,” an Air Force spokesman said. “The pilot appeared to have tried to recover but ultimately failed.”
