Applicants for the People's Liberation Army Air Force can submit their applications online starting on Monday.

The Air Force has created a special website, www.kjzfw.mil.cn, to facilitate pilot recruitment and publicize related information, according to an official with the Air Force's pilot recruitment bureau.

High school graduates under the age of 19 and military college graduates under the age of 24 are eligible for recruitment, and those admitted will study at the Aviation University of the Air Force in Changchun, capital of northeast China's Jilin Province, the official said.

The Air Force also sends pilot students to Peking University, Tsinghua University, Beihang University (Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics) and other schools to jointly train pilots with the military, he added.
