CPL in Argentina

Dear all, I'd like to eventually gain my CPL and was wondering about schools in Argentina. I've looked but would like some advice on what schools are good and which to avoid. I have very little Spanish so I aim to learn in English. Are there any good schools anywhere in Argentina teaching in English?

kind regards, Nicki.

None, you need to speak spanish if you want to fly here, not all airport are authorized to operate in english and you wont be able to take your exam in another languaje than spanish

You are going to improve your spanish if you want to get the CPL in Argentina.
The CPL Ground course last 24 weeks from Mo to Fri, 4 to 5 hours per day.
The official language is Spanish so the Examiners are gonna take the check rides in Spanish.
Only International Airports have English ATC comms on request but most of the flying schools are located in domestic airports without ATC Controllers certified for English Comms.
The mayority of the flying schools in Buenos Aires are located at Moron domestic airport, 20 NM west of the down town. No english ATC.
There are many options, PSA, Rudder, Fly Tango, Flight Center, etc.
The courses are disign in Spanish but it si going to depend if there are available CFIIs with good english for helping you, most of the pilots in Argentina have the ICAO English level 4.

You can check the flying school at Neuquen International Airport. The airport is certified for English comms, very good weather all year around.

Thanks guys.

Mike I am neither, I'm a Brit living in France and wishing to do my CPL somewhere other than Europe. My Spanish is ok but it will not be good enough to learn in that language. I am looking around but thought South America may be fun but I would have to learn in English unless I took the time to improve my Spanish before hand.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

kind regards to all, Nicki.
