Just eleased - VFR WAC charts for all of Mexico
I am happy to announce that the ALL NEW VFR WAC charts for all of Mexico are finally available to the General Aviation community. The project to develop these charts arose from Mexico’s General Aviation council meetings where Caribbean Sky Tours met monthly with Mexico’s Civil Aviation Authorities and representatives from all of the major General Aviation associations of Mexico to identify impediments to General Aviation (foreign and domestic) in Mexico. Amongst the issues identified was the need for reliable and up-to-date VFR charts for all of Mexico. A cross departmental task force between the two aviation agencies of Mexico’s Secretary of Communications and Transportation (DGAC and SENEAM) along with INEGI, Mexico’s statistics and mapping agency was formed in early 2006 and under the leadership of Gilberto Lopez Meyer, director general of the DGAC, the project was initiated. All along, Caribbean Sky Tours has been assisting the task force and providing technical information gained over the years from the development of our Pilot’s Guide to Mexico.
We are very excited about this development as it provides Mexican and visiting pilots alike with up-to-date topographical and aeronautical information far beyond what is currently available with FAA WAC charts and DOD ONC charts. Caribbean Sky Tours is an authorized distributor for INEGI and we will have charts available at booth 5032 in hangar E at Oshkosh for pilots to view. Come by and see these all new charts and we will be happy to answer any questions that you may have. We have also added information on these charts to our website on our “Aeronautical charts” page along with 6 separate web pages for each WAC chart. We have also prepared a comparative analysis between FAA WAC, DOD ONC and Mexican WAC charts that you can download and read.
