INTRODUCTION TO FLYING AT PATTAYA AIRPARK
|
Welcome to fly in Thailand!
Location – Pattaya Airpark, ICAO designation –VTBF We are approx. 15-20 mins. drive from Pattaya City and also about 20 mins. drive from Utapao Int.Airport (VTBU). We are also very close to beaches, Golf course, University and many tourist attractions. Driving from Bangkok to Pattaya Airpark takes approx. 1:30 hr. only and it will be even shorter around 1:10 hr. when the new highway that will connect to highway no.7 direct to Sattahip is opened because the Intersection no.I5 is only 700-800 meters from Pattaya Airpark
General Info. of UPL course – Like most countries, UL license from Thai DCA is not an International License so the license is permitted for flying in Thailand only. However, many countries may accept the license or flight time in order to get your Thai UL license validated. You'll have to find out from your aviation authority since each country has it’s own rules and regulations for pilot license and flying over the territory
Curriculum and Cost - Our UL training cover 20 hrs. of flight training and ground school with tuition for you to go do written exam at DCA cost Bht.110,000. The 20 hrs. flight training is the min. requirement which we found that most student can achieve our standard but a few students may need more hrs. to come to that level. In this case, an additional of Bht.5,500/hr. will be charged for extra hr. of flight training. Anyway, if you have some flying back ground or had a pilot license before and would like to earn the Thai UL license, you can come to talk to our instructor so we can check you and can shorten the flying time for you as well.How long does it take? To complete the course, it depends on both the student and instructor if both can manage the time for training. Normally, if a student is available almost everyday then likely he/she can complete the course in about 2-3 weeks. Our flight training course is quite flexible so it's a good idea that you call to make appointment and it's also my advise that for the first 5 hrs. of flight training you should come often say at least 3 days a week so you can develop your flying skill faster. After that if you don't have much time you can come like once a week but twice a week is better.
To Obtain the License - In order to earn the UL pilot license (UPL), the written exam. by DCA in Bangkok has scheduled only once a month around the 3rd week of the month and application has to be sent in on the 1st week of the month. So to complete the training is one thing and apply the license is another thing. After you pass the written exam. (so far all of our students pass all written tests) then you can make an appointment with the inspector from DCA to come and check flying which all of our students pass easily then DCA will issue you the UPL.
About Accommodation: - We have 2 rooms at Pattaya Airpark for rent (if available) for Bht.500 and Bht.450 per night. Both rooms have Air-cond., Refrigerator, TV and toilette with shower. One week rent cost Bht.3,000 and Bht.2,700 respectively or 1 month cost Bht.12,000 and Bht.10,800. The Bht.500 room is slightly bigger and can put up another bed to accommodate 3 persons with Bht.100 extra charge/night. Also you can find some motel near by for the price from Bht.600/night up.
