But Taiwan's pilots get limited time in the air, so there aren't enough qualified pilots. Experts explain that Taiwan has limited airspace, and virtually no space for training. Moreover, it seems, virtually all of the first group of pilots who went abroad to receive training for new fighter aircraft have left the military to fly for civilian airlines, so the problem of talent outflows is severe.
軍事專家分析，台灣空域狹小，幾乎沒有訓練的空間，而且據了解，當初台灣第一批出國受訓的飛行員，幾乎已全退役改飛民航機，人才流失嚴重，其他高科技武器人才也難保不會有如此的現象。
