The first step of your career is to enroll with us and set a starting date. Once that’s done, you can take all the required medical tests in your country and send them to us, so your medical certificate is ready upon your arrival. This way, you can start flying as soon as you step on Argentinian soil.
We will also ask you to send additional documents, such as your high school certificates, and a safety deposit to cover accommodation and food if needed.
As soon as you land at the airport, we will be waiting for you! We will take you to your new room, welcome you with a traditional meal, and give you a tour of the school.
If you already have your medical certificate, you can start flying right away. If you don’t, the next morning we will accompany you to complete the medical exam — it only takes a few hours, and you’ll be ready to fly in no time.
This is where the fun begins. The first step of our training program is the PPL. You will fly at least 40 hours with a flight instructor to learn the basics of flight, how to control the aircraft, and how to handle emergency procedures.
After your first solo flight, you will complete your first navigation with an instructor and later fine-tune your skills to take the checkride with an inspector. You’ll be assigned a dedicated instructor who will track your progress and personalize your training. They will also be responsible for your ground school and will be available 24/7 if you have any questions.
The entire PPL process takes a minimum of 2 months and can extend up to 4 months, depending on your pace and how often you choose to fly.
Once you have your PPL license, you will begin flying regularly and start the theoretical course for the CPL. You’ll need at least 25 more hours with an instructor before beginning cross-country navigations throughout Argentina, gaining the experience needed to start CPL training.
The next step in your career is obtaining the commercial license. In Argentina, you can take the checkride once you’ve accumulated 200 flight hours and passed the written exam. For this license, you’ll also need 30 hours of IFR training and at least 10 hours of night flying.
You can also choose to take the multi-engine checkride along with the CPL and IFR rating. Once you’ve earned your CPL with all the desired ratings, you will have logged 250 hours as pilot in command — including 160 hours of cross-country, 50 hours of IFR, 10 hours of multi-engine, and 30 hours of instruction — meeting the requirements to validate your license wherever you choose.
