Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) pilots are receiving training on Gripen Fighters at Skaraborg Wing, F7, in Sweden.
The two phase training – Conversion Training (CT) and Combat Readiness Training (CRT) – will combine theory classes with training flights in the simulator and Gripen aircraft over the next six months.

This phase of the training is carried out entirely on the Gripen C/D lightweight single engine multirole fighter aircraft.
After one month of theory training combined with simulator flights, RTAF pilots will fly in the twin-seat Gripen D for a week together with an instructor before proceeding to five solo flights.
CRT will involve learning to operate the radar and weapons systems and how to use them tactically in battle.
