On February 26th, a Y-20 aircraft soared into the sky and landed smoothly after completing its flight mission, marking the successful completion of the "first flight" mission in the lunar year of the Horse by AVIC West.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the command lights flickered on the apron, and the flight test station maintenance personnel held their work cards, held their breath, and carefully checked every system parameter before the flight, making the final inspection. With the command from the control tower, the aircraft engine suddenly roared and the sound was shocking, playing a high spirited prelude to the struggle and progress of the Chinese New Year.

AVIC Xifei will closely focus on core tasks such as production delivery, quality control, and capacity improvement, empower production with innovation, strengthen safety production responsibilities, build a solid development safety barrier, promote high-quality scientific research and production, reform and development, and party building work, continue to practice the spirit of serving the country in the new era of aviation, and contribute to accelerating the construction of an aviation power.

On February 26th, the Chinese New Year's flying horn sounded at the Aviation Industry Civil Aircraft Test Flight Center: Three aircraft took off from the Weinan Operation Base and the external field, flapping their wings and soaring. After successfully completing the established scientific research test flight tasks, they landed smoothly and began a new journey of civil aircraft test flights in the Year of the Horse.

As the "national team" and "main force" of civil aircraft test flights, in 2026, all cadres and staff of the Civil Aircraft Test Flight Center will always keep in mind their original mission, anchor strategic goals, and strive with a determined attitude and high fighting spirit from the beginning to the end. They will overcome difficulties and climb new heights, accelerate the pace of building a strong civil aircraft test flight platform, and contribute to the construction of a new era aviation power and the promotion of high-quality development of national civil aviation.

On February 27th, AG600-1003 aircraft successfully conducted one test flight of minimum maneuvering speed on water and two test flights of water stability and maneuverability at Zhanghe Airport in Jingmen, Hubei, marking the successful completion of the first flight of AG600 "Kunlong" in the Chinese New Year of the Horse. In order to fully ensure the first flight of the Chinese New Year, some employees of Aviation Industry Tongfei South China ended their Spring Festival vacation early and rushed to the Jingmen test flight site on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, devoting themselves to pre flight preparations with full enthusiasm.

On March 1st, AG600-1103 aircraft took off from Zhuhai Jinwan Airport and transferred to Meizhou to carry out forest firefighting tasks. They officially entered the Guangdong garrison sequence and will further play the leading role of AG600 aircraft in the national aviation emergency rescue equipment system, safeguarding the safety of people's lives, property and ecology.

Tongfei South China will continue to focus on its main responsibilities and business, systematically promote the construction of key capabilities such as test flights, build a modern test flight technology system, provide solid support for the transformation of AG600 aircraft to mass production operation, and contribute to the construction of an aviation power with practical achievements.

At the beginning of the Chinese New Year in 2026, the aviation industry Tianfei rose to the challenge and took the initiative to overcome practical difficulties such as airport maintenance and repair, and limited support conditions. It successfully achieved the "first flight" of helicopters in the field and completed all test flight subjects. This maiden flight not only tested equipment performance and field maintenance support capabilities, but also created a new mode of remote maintenance test flights, further enhancing maintenance support capabilities.

Tianfei will always bear in mind its original mission of "serving the country through aviation and building a strong aviation nation", and spare no effort to complete various tasks, contributing solid strength to the high-quality development of the aviation industry.
