Latin American Aviation Weblinks
I was just thinking it might be a good idea to share some interesting Latin American aviation websites. Be aware that some of these may be in Spanish:
Asociacion de Lineas Aereas-- Costa Rica Asociacion Latinoamericana de Aeronautica (ALA)-- The Latinamerican Aeronautical Association Latin American Aviation Historical Society (Guatemala City, Guatemala based)-- also with good links for some Latin American aviation books. La Aviacion en Chile Chile Aviacion Would be interesting to hear of other worthwhile links. :ok: |

Great stuff latinaviation. :ok:
Here are a few others: Asociacion Sindical de Pilotos Aviadores de Mexico Caribbean ALPA Jamaican Airline Pilots Association (JALPA) Sindicato de Pilotos de Lan Chile Pagina no oficial de los pilotos de Iberia (not Latin American, but see the "Destinos" then "Miami Hub" section for some great information about Iberia's destinations in Central America from a pilot's perspective) Corporacion Centroamericana de Servicios de Navegacion Aerea (COCESNA) The agency responsible for ATC and navigation services for Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and a large part of the Western Caribbean waters. Their site also has Notams for this area. |
Sorry that these are brazilian sites, but for the spanish speaker shouldn't be a hassle to understand most of it.

Some Mexican websites
Found a few interesting Mexican websites:
aviacion.com.mx All sorts of interesting stuff here, including links with information for seemingly any kind of government application in Mexico, information for flying to Mexico, airports, schools, etc. Suposedly also a subscription service for job hunters. FEDERACION MEXICANA DE PILOTOS Y PROPIETARIOS DE AERONAVES, A.C. A group for Mexican private aircraft owners and pilots (like AOPA in the United States). Also has an English section. Check the "Ligas" section for many links to Mexican and non-Mexican websites (lots of links to Mexican aviation legislation. elcapi.com.mx Another site providing some links to Mexican aviation including aviation schools and skydiving, with a subscription service to job hunters. Colegio de Pilotos Aviadores de Mexico Not an aviation academy . . . nor even a union, for a lack of better words, this organization provides a profesional umbrella for it's members-- it is probably the closest thing if pilots could get as organized as a group of professionals as do doctors and lawyers (code of ethics, participation in accident investigation, conflict disputes, assistance in applications, etc.) Also with a section dedicated to rotary wing pilots, and aviation legislation information. |
SOME GOOD ONES FROM BRAZIL

A couple new websites to add today:
Sobrevuelo-- Essays in Spanish language about Chilean and international civil and military aviation. Costa Rica Aviation Pictures, Central American approach charts, downloads for Flight Simulator fans, a forum with discussion on Costa Rican and some Central American aviation themes, and a link to listen live to Costa Rican ATC. |
Caribbean/Latin America Terminal Instrument Procedures A limited selection of Aerodrome Diagrams, SIDS, STARS and Approach plates as published by the US National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (of importance to the US Military)
Other NGA Publications online here |
aerovia.com An all-Spanish, hispanic aviation website (Iberian peninsula and Latin America). Great way to surf away another afternoon. :8
Volar en Venezuela.com Another Spanish-language website dedicated to Venezuelan aviation. Very nicely designed website El Portal de la Aviación Agrícola Hispana Hispanic website for Forest Fire and Ag-Pilots. |

Plenty of wannabe's but some useful info
fsmex.com |
Hey, Does anyone know how to convert outside Commercial fixed wing liceneses...say Canadian... to Panamanian? My parents live down there and I cant wait to move.
|
Your question, Kimberly, belongs in a different thread. To answer your question, however, I don't know of any opportunities in Panama, myself not having lived there for over 5-years. Also, unless you are a Panamanian or married to a Panamanian, the employment scene as well as even getting a Commercial Licence or ATP in most Latin American countries is pretty much restricted.

A few interesting site to check out:
Flying Gliders (sailplanes) in Uruguay!!! COOL!!! :ok: Centro Uruguayo de Planeadores La Caída del vuelo 901 Done by the Costa Rican newspaper La Prensa Grafica, this is an interesting website about the crash of Aviateca Flt 901 (a Boeing 737-200), which occured on August 9, 1995, and remains El Salvador's worst aviation accident. The aircraft was a victim of Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) into Volcán Chichontepec while on descent into SAL and deviating around weather. Fascinating pictures, as well as a 15 minute audio recreation of the flight. Unfortunately for non-Spanish speakers, most of the information is in Spanish. |
Flying Schools
Does any body know which are the best flyings schools in Brazil and Argentina?
