In recent years, the country's undergraduate "colleges" have set off a round of "renaming tide", and all provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) have put forward plans to "rename universities" with relatively strong "colleges". Recently, the Civil Aviation Flight University of China has joined the ranks and plans to change its name to "Civil Aviation Flight University of China" in 2028. This initiative was proposed as early as the 15th Congress of the Civil Aviation Flight University of China of the Communist Party of China, aiming to build a "world-class flight university with Chinese characteristics". This article will describe in detail the strength of the Civil Aviation Flight University of China and the prospect of changing its name to "Civil Aviation Flight University of China".
The Civil Aviation Flight University of China is one of the largest, most capable and highest-level universities in the world for training civil aviation pilots. As one of the only two "national brand" civil aviation undergraduate colleges in China, CAAC has trained a large number of pilots for China's civil aviation, and has trained 70% of pilots, 80% captains, 90% of meritorious pilots and 100% of special pilots.
CAAC has seven campuses in five cities in Sichuan and Henan provinces, and five flight training branches in Xinjin, Guanghan, Mianyang, Suining and Luoyang, Sichuan. At the same time, CAAC has established cooperation bases in Zigong, Wuzhou, Harbin and Yongchuan to manage and operate five general and transport aviation airports. The college has 15 secondary colleges, 47 undergraduate majors, 13 master's degree authorization points, and more than 25,000 students.
In addition, the Civil Aviation Flight University of China is also constantly committed to the construction of disciplines and the improvement of the scale of running schools, and fully meets the conditions for becoming the "Civil Aviation Flight University of China".
According to the plan at the 15th Congress of the Civil Aviation Flight University of China of the Communist Party of China, CAAC will implement a "three-step" development strategy. First of all, by 2028, the college will further improve the level of education and realize the renaming of the university, so as to change its name to "Civil Aviation Flight University of China". Secondly, by 2035, CAAC will become a doctorate-granting institution and build a teaching and research university with civil aviation characteristics, which basically has the main characteristics of a world-class flight university. Finally, by the middle of this century, CAAC will be built into a "world-class flight university with Chinese characteristics" in an all-round way, in sync with the second centenary goal.
In fact, CAAC's renaming plan is not out of nowhere. According to the 14th Five-Year Plan for the Establishment of Higher Education Institutions in Sichuan Province, Sichuan Province has included the Civil Aviation Flight University of China and the Sichuan Engineering Vocational and Technical College in the plan to "change the name of the university". In addition, the Civil Aviation University of China, a sister institution of CAAC, was renamed from "Civil Aviation University of China" to "Civil Aviation University of China" as early as 2006. After years of development, CAAC has made great progress and development in all aspects, so the name change to "Civil Aviation Flight University of China" is also a well-deserved result.
We can be optimistic about the prospect of the Civil Aviation Flight University of China changing its name to "Civil Aviation Flight University of China". First of all, as a leader in the training of civil aviation pilots in the world, CAAC has a good school-running strength and reputation, and has been widely recognized by the academic community and the industry. Secondly, CAAC has made remarkable progress in scientific research achievements and academic level in recent years, laying the foundation for further development into a world-class flight university.
In addition, according to the long-term plan, CAAC will gradually achieve a level comparable to that of a world-class flight university, cultivate more high-quality pilots and aviation talents, and make greater contributions to the development of China's civil aviation industry. By changing its name to "Civil Aviation Flight University of China", CAAC will be able to further enhance the reputation and influence of the college, and is expected to make more major breakthroughs in the field of aviation at home and abroad.
As a global leader in the training of civil aviation pilots, the Civil Aviation Flight University of China plans to change its name to "Civil Aviation Flight University of China" in 2028. CAAC has a strong school-running strength and reputation, and has made remarkable achievements in discipline construction and training of aviation talents. The renaming of the Civil Aviation Flight University of China will further enhance the reputation and influence of the college and inject new vitality into the development of China's civil aviation industry. Although the outlook is challenging, with the unremitting efforts of CAAC, it is possible to achieve the goal of changing the name.
Whether it is the renaming plan of the college or the fruitful achievements of CAAC, they all embody the development dream and driving force of China's civil aviation industry. As Chinese people, we should fully support CAAC's plan to change its name to "Civil Aviation Flight University of China", and look forward to it becoming a role model and leader of "a world-class flying university with Chinese characteristics". Let's look forward to the brilliant future of CAAC!
