기체결함을 찾기 위해, 가장 위험한 비행을 해야 하는 "테스트 파일럿"의 세계 #281시험비행대대 #사천공군기지｜전투기 밀착 다큐 시리즈 0탄 (KBS 160807)

Documentary Empathy "We're the First - Test Pilots" (Aired August 7, 2016) At Sacheon Air Base in South Gyeongsang Province, there's the "281st Test Squadron," a name unknown to the general public. Here, pilots known as "test pilots" risk their lives on some of the world's most dangerous flights. Test pilots, who test new aircraft thousands of meters above the ground, put themselves in extreme situations to identify flaws in the aircraft. They sometimes force the aircraft into uncontrollable areas to observe its recovery process, or even shut down and restart engines in mid-air to test engine performance. These test pilots are the ones who carry out their missions through these dangerous, life-threatening test flights. Test pilots risk their lives at every moment, constantly challenging the limits of human endurance. Why do they take such risks to become test pilots? Founded in late 1999, the 281st Test Flight Squadron is Korea's only test flight unit. Currently, around ten test pilots, ranging from squadron commanders to trainees, are conducting test flights. This life-threatening task requires advanced aviation skills and specialized knowledge of aircraft. Above all, a spirit of challenge, adventure, and professionalism are essential for these pilots. ※ See more KBS fighter jet documentary series (Older uploaded) (Part 0) We're the First "Test Pilot"    • 기체결함을 찾기 위해, 가장 위험한 비행을 해야 하는 "테스트 파일럿"의 세...   (Part 1) KF-16, Flying in Alaska    • ★전투기 탑승취재!★ 한미 공군 연합훈련 "KF-16 알래스카에 날다!"  ...   (Part 2) Black Eagle, Flying Around the World    • ★전투기 시리즈 출격★ 공군 특수비행팀 블랙이글스 국제에어쇼 출격! | 전투...
