DPU Aviation Students Gain Real-World Flight Experience
Fourth-year aviation students at Dhurakij Pundit University completed observation flights to bridge classroom theory with practical industry operations.
The College of Aviation Development and Training (CADT) at Dhurakij Pundit University (DPU) recently concluded a series of observation flights for its fourth-year students. Held on October 19, 26, and November 2, 2026, at the Anucha Airfield in Klong 11, the initiative allowed students from the Aviation Business and Aviation Technology Management programs to experience flight operations firsthand. According to Khaosod Online, every student in the cohort participated in flights aboard single-engine propeller aircraft. The program, part of the university's 'Premium Experience' curriculum, aims to provide students with a practical understanding of flight procedures, from takeoff to landing, before they begin their cooperative education placements. By observing pilots in action, students gain insight into the coordination required in aviation operations. For residents and visitors, this highlights the ongoing development of specialized aviation training in Thailand, emphasizing the integration of academic study with professional field experience. While the university has successfully completed this round of training, further details regarding future partnerships with aviation facilities or specific career placement outcomes for these students remain to be confirmed as they progress toward graduation.
