Default flying in Argentina

A really exiting flight experience for pilots and their friends.

A flight adventure into the infinite width of the Argentine landscape.

More than 3,100 miles in approx. 27 flying hours.

A led x-country flight by seven different climatic and geographical
regions, in which you will set lifelong new yardsticks for your
aeronautical and personal horizon.

An adventure flight like once Antoine de Saint Exupery during his time
at the Aeroposta.

So long,

Bienvenido a Argentina y autorizado al despegue!!

let's give a look up: http://www.argentinafly.com and for any
questions let's contact me at anytime

It sounds like the exciting experience would be jumping through all the
flaming hoops of red tape:

QUALIFICATION

Flight experience: At least 150 hours as PIC 20 of it in the last 12
months.
Valid PPL and Medical (JAR FCL) Radio Operator Certificate
Valid passport (Minimum 3 months starting from arrival at Buenos Aires)
International health insurance accident insurance/return motion
Questionnaires form for announcing and general trading conditions signed
and dispatch.
For solo flyers sufficient Spanish knowledge and
Certified Logbook by the competent authorities and certified by the foreign
ministrty and the argentinine consular authorities of your home country.



I don't see anything onerous about these requirements - they are typical
of any tour group, modified for the case where the tourists are flying
through foreign airspace.

I would only wonder about two things:

1: the "JAR FCL" requirement. (is a US issued license, medical, and
radio license sufficient?)

2: What is this "questionnaire"? The sentence doesn't parse properly.

They don't want to have to provide translators in the plane with you.
This is a very reasonable requirement - you are alone in a foreign
country. Speak the language - at least well enough to get by.

The whole point of a "guided tour" is that the tour members depend on
the tour arrangers for certain things. They are being explicit that
basic language assistance is not one of those things if you choose to
fly alone.

But English is the official language for flight operations
internationally is it not?
