Hello,

I am actually an American expat working in Seoul, but would like to obtain my private pilot license. I have read that Osan has a flight training center, but would like to know if non-military civilians are allowed to train there. I have tried calling the phone number 784-4424, which is listed on the Osan Guide website. However, the phone number does not work. I even tried calling 31-661-4424 as instructed from an off-base phone line. Does anyone have any suggestions for me, or know of any other flight schools in the Seoul or Gyunggido area? Thank you!

First off, welcome to the site!

Here is what it says on the services website.

Membership in the Aero Club is open to the following:
• All active duty military
• Retired military
• DOD civilian employees (including NAF)
• Federal government employees working on a military installation
• Dependents of all the above
• Member of the Reserves
• FAA personnel

Looks like being a FAA person or a dependents is the only way for non DOD civilians. I got that number off their site, so it is good.

Having been trained once at an AF Base Aero Club, unless there has been some change, I suspect the last post is correct.
To dial 784-4424 from downtown korea, dial 0505-784-4424.There will be no dial tone after 0505, so wait; longer than you want to wait-then it may ring.

Over here, you probably have to do it the Korean way! Good Luck!
