China Eastern CRM (Lack of)
By West Coast Wrench on Wednesday, Oct 12th 2016 09:58Z

For those of you who wish to gain some insight into methods and standards used to train China Eastern pilots I urge you to visit the North Campus of the Civil Aviation University of China(CAUC)in Tianjin.

If you walk the hallways of the first two floors of North Campus Teaching Building #25 (where China Eastern pilots are trained) you will find at least a dozen students sleeping in class, even more students mindlessly staring at their phones, or reading.

There does not seem to be a lot of learning/training occurring.

From my direct contact with China Eastern pilot students HF,SMS, and CRM are only vague concepts that are not presented to them with any professionalism or maturity.

Oddly enough in China many ground school instructors (80%+)are not pilots, nor do they possess adequate knowledge of the operating environment.

How many more China Eastern incidents or accidents have been kept hush hush? I know that many are never reported.

HFCAMPO .

Jiang Chuan county, Lian Tie Xiang (town), 50 km directly south of Shaxi.

The bridge is hard to find as it's far from the main road, down into terraced feilds.
i can send you a GE KMZ file..

Trade roads were never a fixed to a single trail, the trail varied it's path depending on items needed or sold; although the most important reason trade routes varied their trail is the land's geography.

The trail on the west side of Can Shan is an easier route. If the caravan needed to go into Dali they had to climb an additional 600meters in elevation.

South of Yangbi is the interscection of the southern silk road( burma trail) and the tea/horse trail which is an ideal spot to collect tax.

In this section of valley from Yangbi to Shaxi there are many roadside temples which are not maintained.

BTW.....
This North/south route never crosses a mountain range from Hanoi to Lijiang and further north towards Lhasa ..

The Bridge with visible damage from the 2012 earthquake..

Thanks all... I found a old bridge 50 km south of Shaxi which is fabulous

and out of place in such a rural area.

I'll post pictures of it..

I'm searching for a documented list of historic bridges and towns on the tea and horse caravan trail ..

Any such thing exist??

I moved all my activities in the Dali and Lijiang area backcountry..

Fu Xian lake area is corrupt AF.
