Test Pilots At Sacheon Air Base in Gyeongsangnam-do, there is the "281st Test Flight Squadron," a unit whose name is unfamiliar to the general public. Here, pilots risk their lives to perform the world's most dangerous flights... These are the people known as "Test Pilots." Test pilots, who personally test-fly new aircraft thousands of meters above the ground, push themselves to the extreme to identify defects in the aircraft. They intentionally drive the aircraft into uncontrollable zones to observe the recovery process, and they also conduct tests by turning the engines off and on again in mid-air to evaluate their performance. Test pilots are the people who perform their missions through dangerous test flights that put their lives on the line. Test pilots must risk their lives every moment and challenge the limits of human endurance every moment. Why do they choose the path of a test pilot, risking danger? ■ Walking the Path No One Has Taken – The Story of Test Pilots from the ‘281st Test Flight Squadron’ Established in late 1999, the ‘281st Test Flight Squadron’ is the nation’s only test flight unit. Currently, about 10 test pilots, ranging from the squadron commander to trainees, are conducting test flights. As this is a life-threatening endeavor, it requires advanced flight skills and specialized knowledge of aircraft. Above all, a spirit of challenge and adventure toward the new, along with professionalism, are essential for them. ■ We Are the First: Test Pilots Like a single ray of light illuminating the darkness, test pilots possess a spirit of challenge to explore unknown territories and the courage to risk their lives. Without those who push themselves to the extreme to test their limits, fighter jets could not exist, nor could they perform at their full potential. Creating a perfect aircraft is not only about protecting the lives and safety of senior and junior pilots, but also about safeguarding the nation's security and protecting their beloved families. With the resolve that "we are the first" and the pride of forging a new path that no one has ever taken, they soar through the skies today. ※ This video is [Docu Empathy - We Are the First, Test Pilot], aired on August 7, 2016. #Pilot #Test #FlightTraining This is the official KBS Documentary channel.
