DOA license validation policy - No instruction required. You only have to present a valid license, log book, a letter from the flying club you will rent the plane from, and a valid medical, to the DOA and they will give you the endorsement. I believe they like to see 3 hours in the last 3 months. Email DOA Licensing (Saengchai)
