Section 24 aims to regulate the operation of aircraft in Thailand by requiring that any person intending to operate an aircraft must possess the qualifications and competency certified by the relevant authority, which in this case is The Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT)<\/strong> or any authority empowered by law<\/p>

Requiring aircraft operators to have a license or a certificate of competency establishes aviation safety standards to prevent accidents that may result from unqualified or inadequately skilled individuals operating aircraft.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
