After the pilot became the deputy political instructor
2026-03-25
Kunpeng spreads its wings and soars straight up. In a certain division of air force aviation, every year, many task crews fly over China - from rescue and relief to fighting with swords, with tracks all over the world, the mission is more important than Mount Tai. Whether political work can truly integrate into the ideological bloodline of officers and soldiers, and permeate the entire mission, is the key to the great nation's "flying thousands of miles without getting lost". With the continuous deepening of political training, the Air Force has successively introduced a series of military human resources policies and systems to stimulate vitality and motivation. Relying on policy support, the division innovatively established the position of Deputy Political Instructor in the Flight Brigade, which is concurrently held by outstanding pilots with strong political qualities, sufficient practical experience, and high public credibility, to promote the deepening and implementation of political work on the front line. Recently, this group of deputy political instructors who hold both the dual identities of "pilots" and "political cadres" received their first performance evaluation since taking office. A report that condenses practical thinking not only outlines the growth trajectory of a group of "cross-border duty" pilots, but also reflects the new positive trend of the division in promoting the deep integration and resonance of political work and war preparation. From pilot to 'navigator' - ideological work hidden in flight data: 'My battle position is both at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters and in the hearts of officers and soldiers.'. ”Standing on the podium, Deputy Political Instructor Kong Fanhui's performance report is not filled with obscure theories, and every word is infused with the passion of the frontline flight. Each sentence is full of the warmth of standing shoulder to shoulder with comrades and the weight of the post. Before the plane slides out, there must be zero errors in the avionics check, and the pilot's psychological state must always be 'at full capacity'! ”Before embarking on a military exercise mission, Kong Fanhui keenly sensed the tension emanating from the eyebrows of young pilot Zhao Yunhao. This experienced 'old fly' took the initiative to step forward, combined with his past experience in handling special situations, carefully dismantled technical risks, and imparted operational experience, which strengthened Zhao Yunhao's confidence for his first practical flight. Since taking up the position of Deputy Political Instructor in the Flight Brigade, Kong Fanhui's precise guidance of "understanding flight and military spirit" has helped young pilots unload their burdens and calm down. The fluctuation of pilots' thoughts is often hidden in flight data. Without understanding flying, it is difficult to truly grasp the soldier's heart and provide good ideological guidance. ”This is a phrase that Kong Fanhui often says. In the past, he was the trusted "backbone" of his comrades in the crew; Now, as a deputy political instructor, he has integrated this understanding, respect, and comprehension of flying positions into every detail of political work. During a cross regional delivery training last year, a young pilot experienced tactical deviation and low mood for three consecutive sorties. In the past, heart to heart conversations focused more on psychological counseling, but Kong Fanhui came knocking on his door with a thick flight log. You can see from the data of this flight that the correction amount during sudden crosswinds at low altitudes is about 15% greater than the daily average. Did the long flight lead to uneven distribution of attention and fatigue anxiety? ”Kong Fanhui hit the nail on the head and then shared his own exploration of the "segmented focus training method", and used a simulator to repeatedly simulate specific flight segments with this young pilot. Vice Instructor Kong's heart to heart talk touched upon the key points of our training. ”The young pilot said that this exchange helped him unravel his ideological "knots", optimize his flight procedures, and became an effective support for his subsequent training performance improvement. Wherever we fly, our ideological work follows suit. ”Entering a new position is the work standard that Kong Fanhui upholds. During flight training, he communicated wirelessly in the cloud and observed the status of his comrades in formation; During the post flight review, he combined flight data with everyone in the cockpit to exchange experiences and relieve psychological pressure. Kong Fanhui also took the initiative to consult with the political instructors of the brigade, innovatively carrying out "cabin micro talk" and "one minute mobilization before flight", extending political work from the conference room to the airport runway, and integrating textbooks and lesson plans into the cockpit dashboard, allowing ideological guidance to be like spring breeze and rain, with precise drip irrigation. Opening Kong Fanhui's performance report, the reporter saw a set of data: a total of 290 safe flights were flown annually, and 7 major training tasks were successfully completed; Led the establishment and update of the "Pilot Thought Dynamic Database" to alleviate confusion for 16 officers and soldiers, and assisted 9 pilots in breaking through training bottlenecks and achieving skill upgrades. See the real chapter for flight data. From pilots to "navigators", the dual advantages of being able to pilot planes for combat and teach on the ground possessed by deputy political instructors have enabled political work and military training to resonate on the same frequency, injecting strong and lasting ideological motivation into the enhancement of the combat effectiveness of the troops. From 'observer' to 'participant' - one person takes on the responsibility of activating the 'spring water of the whole pond' and flying thousands of miles without getting lost, but before, I always felt that grasping the 'lifeline' of flying was the responsibility of political instructors, and I was used to being a 'spectator'. ”In his performance report, Deputy Political Instructor Xiong Yuankang spoke frankly, revealing the common "cognitive misconceptions" that everyone once had. With the accelerated deployment of Y-20 aircraft, the department has been carrying out tasks such as cross regional flights and remote delivery on a regular basis, and the crew members have been away and dynamically dispersed for a long time. Despite the fine tradition of "aircraft leaving the ground and organization establishment", in the past, for major tasks, in order to ensure the continuity of political work, various levels often needed to specially arrange political cadres to train and coordinate. As the workload continues to increase, the power of political cadres is beginning to be in short supply. How to break the dilemma of "fighting alone" and mobilize pilots to actively participate or lead political work? Xiong Yuankang, who has rich flying experience, gained inspiration from the concept of "collaborative operation" of transport aircraft crews: "Kunpeng flies thousands of miles without the close cooperation of the captain, co pilot, air mechanics, and all maintenance officers and soldiers. Political work also requires" crew collaboration "to help everyone find their own" political work battlefield "." Last year, a training mission kicked off, and three planes from Xiong Yuankang's squadron entered the airport of a sister unit. In the absence of a dedicated political cadre assigned by the Youth League Party Committee, he took the initiative to take on the role of Deputy Political Instructor and mobilized and integrated resources based on the organizational structure of the temporary Party branch of the task force; According to the strengths of the officers and soldiers, multiple functional groups have been established within the task force, including theoretical lectures, psychological services, and news reporting. Although he has not yet served as a deputy political instructor, this proactive attempt has brought unexpected rewards to Xiong Yuankang. During the flight mission, the combat enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers was ignited, and each showed their strengths - pilot Wang Hongbin, who has 3D modeling skills, actively joined the cultural creation team and designed a cultural and creative badge with the theme of Y-20 and the mission; Pilot Liu Jiajun, who loves video editing, captured exciting moments during training breaks and his works won awards in higher-level competitions; Chen Dong, a technician from a certain locomotive brigade, innovatively proposed a fusion review mode of "technology consolidation+ideological summary", which synchronizes technical investigation and ideological analysis, effectively reducing the occurrence rate of errors. Every officer and soldier has shining points, and we need to build a platform for their growth. ”Xiong Yuankang introduced that during the mission, they simultaneously carried out the "Political Work Fund Ideas" collection activity, encouraging officers and soldiers to provide suggestions based on their actual positions. After one month of entry, they collected 22 suggestions, of which 18 were applied in practice, further enhancing the mass, initiative, and creativity of political work. This experience became the confidence for Xiong Yuankang to serve as the deputy political instructor. With the efforts of him and other deputy political instructors, an evaluation data from the brigade shows that the satisfaction of officers and soldiers with political work has increased year-on-year compared to last year. In Xiong Yuankang's performance report, he wrote the following sentence: "Political work is not a 'responsibility field' for a few people, but a 'growth garden' for all officers and soldiers. Only by inspiring everyone's sense of ownership and making everyone a 'participant' can we gather the strength to forge ahead, and let political training take root and blossom at the grassroots level." From "novice" to "expert" - prestige is based on the actual achievements of flying positions. "We are 'experts' in flying, but we are indeed' novices' in carrying out political work. ”The sentence written by Deputy Political Instructor Zheng Bingpeng in the report expresses the feelings of many comrades at the beginning of their duties. To assist this group of pilots who perform their duties across borders, fill in their skill gaps, and achieve role transformation, the teacher's party committee has implemented precise measures - including them as key targets for training grassroots party organization secretaries and political cadres, and teaching them around educational methods, case analysis, etc; Initiate a "one-on-one" mentoring mechanism and assign experienced political instructors to provide hands-on guidance, starting with specific practical teaching on how to conduct heart to heart talks, organize education, etc., to help them accelerate their growth. The improvement of political work ability relies not only on classroom indoctrination, but also on task practice tempering. As the main force of strategic delivery, the division has been responsible for emergency transportation, cross-border delivery and other tasks for many years. The excellent tradition of "leaders taking the lead, party members advancing first, and backbone charging forward" provides a practical classroom for pilots and political cadres. Driving the Y-20A over Tiananmen Square and accepting the inspection of the Party and the people, at that moment, I knew deeply that I was not only a pilot, but also a political cadre, and I must stand at the forefront! ”Shortly after being appointed as the deputy political instructor, Zheng Bingpeng became a member of the oil tanker squadron and participated in the preparation for a military parade mission. He realized that the field of review is the battlefield, and the standards of review are the standards of warfare. The credibility of political work ultimately depends on solid achievements to establish. During the intensive training phase, the command center will use "video playback" to conduct "millimeter level" evaluations for each low altitude pass of the team. This is a very high challenge for the large and inertial "oil transport eagle". Zheng Bingpeng recalled, "The display accuracy of onboard equipment is limited, and how to achieve 'zero error' depends entirely on crew collaboration and manual control." During that time, Zheng Bingpeng was always the first to enter the preparation room and the latest to leave the apron. In addition to completing his own training courses, he also played the role of deputy political instructor, organizing the crew and wingmen to hold the "Zhuge Liang Meeting", studying procedures such as formation maintenance and emergency replacement, optimizing collaborative commands and operational processes. Zheng Bingpeng led the crew to break down and refine hundreds of key action points, forming a 'muscle memory'. After hundreds of trials and tribulations, the movements of his Warhawk crew were stable. Finally, during the official review, they accepted the inspection with a performance of no less than meters per second, interpreting the profound connotation of "political excellence and high ability" with their heroic posture in the blue sky. Leading the charge by political cadres is the most convincing political work. ”Regarding this, Deputy Political Instructor Zhang Peng expressed the same sentiment in his performance report. At the end of last year, Zhang Peng led a team to carry out a high-altitude training mission, and the mission area was suddenly hit by extreme weather. To ensure the timely and absolutely safe launch of the Warhawk, immediate de icing is necessary. Without any hesitation, Zhang Peng braved the cold wind and climbed up the frozen elevated ladder first, cleaning the wing surface side by side with the maintenance officers and soldiers. The commander urged him to come down and command, but Zhang Peng said, "I am an old party member. Who can I go up at this time?" The deputy political instructor's action infected his comrades, and everyone worked together to ensure that all participating planes were dispatched on time and successfully completed their tasks. Afterwards, a maintenance soldier sighed and said, "Watching Deputy Political Instructor Zhang lie on the wing with us, I feel that any difficulty can be overcome!" These deputy political instructors of the flight squadron, who grew up from their positions and were tested in the mission, are known for their unique "dual identity" and are inspiring
