Skymasters in Mexico

[GypSE Flyer]

Thanks for the info. I was told that to fly down there, every flight was to be on an approved flight plan. Can you go off your flight plan and explore if you find an area you want to see more of? Also what kind of fees are charge for the services? Thanks again and i will look at the BBP pages.

Once in Mexico, and having cleared customs at an AOE, You need to have a VFR flight plan filed when arriving or departing a towered airport. No tower, no flight plan filed. So what happens when you fly to a towered field from one without a tower? On landing you file, then immediately close a flight plan. I know its odd but that's how it works. The fees change so again the BBP page is the best way to follow this. Also you need to carry certain documents with you in Mexico to prove insurance, medical etc. the BBP member pages are a great source of information for all this. Also when crossing the border you need to file both US and Mexican eAPIS and a DVFR flight plan. Your first airport of landing in Mexico must be an AOE. Details on how to do this are also on the BBP page in the member section and if you are a member you can file the Mexican eAPIS through their page, which is not easy to do otherwise. I was not comfortable doing this trip by myself so made several trips with the BBP before venturing out on my own so I could get familiar with the process and area.
