This educational institution was established in 1994 in Jizzakh. But there were not enough conditions for future pilots to practice there. In 2018, when the head of state was at the Khanabad military airfield in the Karshi district, he made suggestions on the effective use of the capabilities of this airfield for the training of military pilots. Based on this, the higher military aviation educational institution was moved to the city of Karshi in 2019. Educational and training buildings were equipped with modern simulators, equipment, and information technology.
This allows the cadets to conduct training on the control and maintenance of military aircraft at the Khanabad airfield, and to participate directly in the training grounds. Flight training center and information-resource center, educational laboratories for 4 specializations serve to increase the level of professionalism of military pilots.
A cultural center with 120 seats, a dormitory with 400 seats, a kitchen, a training ground and a sports camp are at the disposal of cadets. Currently, 276 cadets are studying here.
The president inspected the conditions in the institution. In the conversation with young people, the importance of studying foreign languages and modern technologies in addition to one’s specialty was emphasized.
- The defense of each country shows its power. Defense is provided by educated, intelligent, strong-willed soldiers, engineers and pilots like you. To be worthy of this, you should always study, work on yourself and become perfect in all aspects, Shavkat Mirziyoyev said.
The Commander-in-Chief had lunch with the cadets in the canteen of the school. He saw sports and educational activities. Military aviation flights with the participation of attack, fighter, transport planes and combat helicopters were demonstrated over the educational institution.
Officials were given instructions to raise air defense to a new level based on the threats observed in the world, to start gathering unmanned devices as an experiment. The need to improve the activities of this educational institution and implement joint educational programs with foreign institutions was emphasized.
