The institution was <\/span>legally constituted on September 5, 1954. <\/span><\/p>\n On May 10, 1959, the Air Pilot School and Training Center was inaugurated, with only one Piper PA-12 three-seater, registration LV-YDU. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The presence of this aircraft destined to instruction is nowadays increased with two Tomahawk aircrafts and an Instrument Flight Simulator, with two stable instructors, Pablo Cofre and Daniel Jones. This school is proud to have given birth to pilots that in time gave life to the Aeronautics Direction of Tierra del Fuego, and others joined Austral L\u00edneas A\u00e9reas, Aerol\u00edneas Argentinas and other private companies. <\/span><\/p>\n Many people have collaborated in the growth of the club, counting today with an endowment of 8 airplanes, a barbecue area for 50 people with the best view of the city and the bay, pilot’s lounge, passenger lounge and a hangar to house 10 airplanes. <\/span><\/p>\n The presence of the club has been and will be an icon in the history of Tierra del Fuego.
