Following the briefing and on-site inspection, Lieutenant General Nguyen Ba Luc commended the school's achievements, particularly its successful live-fire bombing exercises involving Regiments 910 and 940 at the National Military Training Center 2. The exercises were conducted with absolute safety.

For the coming period, he urged the school to continue implementing breakthroughs in education and training, with a particular focus on improving military pilot training so that graduates can master the skies while ensuring absolute flight safety.

He also called for continued development of qualified teaching staff and educational administrators, and the early completion of a project to develop the school in accordance with the criteria for a smart military school. The application of information technology, artificial intelligence, and simulation equipment in teaching and other activities should be further expanded.

In addition, the school was asked to strengthen cooperation with foreign partners in equipment procurement, technical support, and military pilot training to meet operational requirements. It must also ensure adequate logistical and financial support, improve military personnel's living conditions, maintain a bright, green, clean, and beautiful campus, and build a healthy and strong Party Organization and a comprehensively strong school that is “exemplary and outstanding.”
