Yeah the AAC is a copy/paste of the FAA. Everything is identical. So, they told me I had to take my instrument and commercial written. As for the checkride it would be a multi comm instr. checkride. If its similar to what they do here, you would do commercial maneuvers in a milti with a single engine ILS. They funny thing though.....Im pretty sure El Salvador only has one ILS and thats at comalapa airport which apparently that airport isnt used for training. This is coming from the chief pilot so ill take his word on it. Maybe someone else can clarify this point. The writtens are $20/ea the examiner fee for the checkride is $80 not including the rental fee for the airplane. Renting a multi over there averaged $400/hr. I called a couple places and that seemed to be the average. So you see how this process can quickly get you a few thousand dollars in debt?! I cant drop any more money in this career. Its enough that this industry pays starting pilots very little. Good luck.
