Highlights: The pilot of the presidential plane made a risky maneuver on his arrival in Argentina. In several passages, the commander of the Boeing 757-256 ignores the instructions of the controllers. Leonardo Barone, the pilot, turned the blue and white plane on its side, turned towards the Río de la Plata and resumed flight. Barone is Secretary General of Logistics of the General Secretariat of the Presidency, which is in charge of the fleet of aircraft of the presidency. It was his baptism flight as a new presidential aircraft, after a long search.


These are the dialogues that the commander of the Boeing 757-256 had with the control tower.


The audios maintained by the pilot of the presidential plane, who on Thursday made a risky maneuver on his arrival in Argentina, with the control tower, were known.

In several passages, the commander of the Boeing 757-256, which was acquired at a value close to 25 million dollars, ignores the instructions of the controllers.

In one of the passages, the pilot asks for authorization to go below 3,000 feet, to which from the tower they respond with a resounding negative: "I never gave him free descent."

The arrival of the Boeing was controversial: minutes after landing, a risky maneuver was recorded in a video meters from the runway of Jorge Newbery Airport.

It was his baptism flight as a new presidential aircraft, after a long search. He left Miami at 8.29 a.m. (Argentina time). At 17.25, he touched the runway at the aeroparque. But first there was controversy.

Twelve minutes before the effective landing, he descended a few meters from the runway, although – because of how he was profiled – he did so without wanting to touch the ground. It came to fly 45 meters from the ground. Suddenly, Leonardo Barone, the pilot, turned the blue and white plane on its side, turned towards the Río de la Plata and resumed flight. Barone is Secretary General of Logistics of the General Secretariat of the Presidency, which is in charge of the fleet of aircraft of the Presidency.
