Converting JAA & FAA Licence to Local Argentine Equivalent

[egld0624]

Hi All,

I hope somebody could help regarding this issue. There is a strong possibility that I'll be in Buenos Aires for 6 months or so and I'd like to use my current JAA PPL whilst down there to rent light aircraft with a club or school.

I had made contact with the Air Force (as was suggested to me by one of the schools in Bs.As.) All seemed fine, at least on the phone and I was assured I'd get a response if I emailed a request. Sadly, that's where the issue completely stalled. I am still none the wiser... although I did sense a lot was known about the FAA PPL and its’ usuage, although that was not discussed.

How does the JAA and FAA PPL work in that case for use or conversion to hire an Argentine registered aircraft (Piper/Cessna etc.)??

I would be grateful for any guidance on the issue.

Kind regards,

Still no joys...

Anybody have any positive view or comment or know somebody that I might contact that could help?

Kind regards,

check it out with AOPA in London. I believe they have an office.
They know everything about PPL and stuff.
Just what I know from the rear corners off my brain about Licensing.:

If the JAA or FAA accepts Argentinian Licenses, the Argentinian authorities have to do it wiseversa. Billateral agreements.
If not, the Argentinian authority will handle it on a single case.
Means test and or checkride, whatever deems them necessary.

Good luck

p.s. I hate to talk like a lawyer
