Jul-Aug 2008 - BALI FLYING ADVENTURE -- Khun Sunny and Khun Uthai from Tantawan airport are leading a SFAT flying expedition from Thailand to Bali, Indonesia. Plans and clearances are being organized at the moment. If you want to join this exciting flying adventure -- email Sunny -- view Trip Program.

PHUKET AIRPARK IS NOW OPEN -- Khun Suchard has received DCA approval for Phuket Airpark on 14 Mar 2008. The airstrip is 500 meters long. Congratulations to everyone for this magnificent step forward for General Aviation in Thailand. Planes and people are welcome to fly in -- any questions, please email ROSY -- rosyraksangob@hotmail.com. They are organizing a grand opening ceremony for January 2009 after they have some hangars built.

5-6 Apr 2008 - TANTAWAN FLYIN -- On the weekend of 5-6 April, SFAT organized a very successful Tantawan Sunshine Flyin. Khun Supap was there with Dr. Choladhis and SFAT secretary NIWAT. All food was free and it was an exciting event with over 10 aircraft flying in.

Mar 2008 - GLIDING IN NEW ZEALAND -- TFC Member Khun Charn was recently on a 5 day mountain soaring course in New Zealand and took this spectacular photo from aloft -- "One of the pictures is of the cloud covered peak of Mount Cook. Fantastic views of the world around viewed from lying position inside a clear bubble canopy. We averaged over 4 hours covering 300 nm a day, with just one take off and landing.
This is the magical land of the Lord of the Ring (where the movie was made) with wide open plains surrounded by tall peaks and deep gullies. We were learning to read the terrain and wind and to explore. Clouds are high above, around us surrounding the peaks and over the plains. On the lakes below are ripples. They are all signs of the ways the winds blow at different level. The sun heats the ground unevenly forming hot spots that warms the adjacent air that rises from the cooler surrounding air in a vertical column. These invisible columns of hot air are everywhere, with interstitial sinking air that comes in to fill the void left behind. The NZ mountains are the fastest rising in the world, having grown 66,000 ft just in the past few million years, but the soft rocks are been worn down by weather and glaciers just as quickly as they grow. The old glacier formed valleys between the ranges are filled with small pebbles on which emergency landings can be done without likely permanent damage to the pilot. The lectures also covered emergency landings on the lakes - with wheel down and brake on to skid over the water and slow down to a stop, hopefully on the edge of the shore and up on the beach if exist. Of course there are lots of small grass landing strip on farms every where, well marked on the map and GPS. These slender 420 kg (empty) light weight twin seat gliders with 20m/66ft wide wings are amazingly strong, made of mostly carbon and glass fiber held together in a plastic matrix."

HOW TO FIND US
The Thai Flying Club is located at Bang Phra Airfield (VTBT) about 3 Kilometers East of the small village of Bang Phra. We are about a 1 1/2 hour drive Southeast of Bangkok or a 30 minute drive North of Pattaya. If you are coming from Bangkok Airport (Don Muang), you can take the AIRPORT BUS (#A3) to Ekkamai Bus Station (or you can take the BTS "Skytrain" from any station to Ekkamai). There are buses leaving from Ekkamai Bus Station (in Bangkok) every 30 minutes that can drop you off in Bang Phra at the 7-eleven shop on their way to Sri Racha or Pattaya. From there, you can take a "tuk-tuk" (taxi) to "Snambin Bang Phra" (Bang Phra Airport). The airport is located on the agricultural campus of the "Kasetsart Rajamangala" (Rajamangala Agricultural College) and you enter through the campus and drive across the runway with caution. It is important to note that there are two airports located in Bang Phra - Thai Flying Club at BangPhra Airport (for light aircraft) and Chonburi Flying Club near the highway (for radio-controlled and ultralight aircraft). Print both maps below to help you, because finding the airport is not easy.

GROUND SCHOOL & FLIGHT INSTRUCTION
The Thai Flying Club offers PPL (private pilot) flying courses. To date, the club has trained and certified many Thai and Foreign students. The club can also help you apply to validate your foreign pilots license for flying in Thailand. The flying course can be completed between 40 and 60 flight hours (the more f

requently you fly the better) and the total cost of learning to fly is about 210,000 Baht (click to view details). To obtain your Thai PPL, you must complete an aviation medical examination, an approved aviation ground school and log 40 flight hours before you take the DCA written exams (given once every 3 months). The ground school in Bang Phra is very affordable. We need a minimum of 6 students to start the Groundschool. You can join anytime, and it is a lot of fun. A prospective student must first submit documents for the SPL (5,000 Baht) and then join the club (10,000 Baht) and then pass the Medical Exam. The DCA has overhauled the SPL system, so now you can obtain an SPL in 2-3 weeks. CONGRATULATIONS to Thailand for this great improvement (it used to take 7 months for foreigners to obtain a SPL). Students can only begin to log hours in their logbook after they have received their SPL. If you think you want to learn to fly, then begin this process immediately, so that you can start flying as soon as your SPL is ready. The club charges an hourly rental rate for the airplane (rates vary with type of plane) and the club charges an hourly fee for instructors (see plane and instructor rates). A prospective student may solo with consent of the instructor (usually after 12-20 hours, depending on frequency of flying) after he has his SPL. Learn more about Ground School in Bang Phra
