A number of members have commented that while flying within Mexico they have received instructions by Mexican ATC to comply with published VFR procedures for a particular airport. However, many don't know what this instruction means or where to find the published procedures.

Mexico does in fact publish VFR procedures for 14 Terminal Areas in Mexico. These procedures are ONLY found in Mexico's Aeronautical Information Publication and are not published in Jeppesen or NACO/FAA IFR/VFR charts of any kind.

So, where does a pilot go to obtain these procedures if they don't have a copy of the Mexico AIP? Well, to Caribbean Sky Tours, of course. We maintain a registered, updated copy of Mexico's AIP and we have scanned the VFR procedures chart for all 14 airports. They can be downloaded for FREE from the Caribbean Sky Tours member website in the Mexico Section of the Chart Downloads page.

The terminal areas with VFR Procedures are:

ACAPULCO
CABO SAN LUCAS - SAN JOSE DEL CABO
CANCUN - COZUMEL
CIUDAD DEL CARMEN
CIUDAD JUAREZ
CHIHUAHUA
GUADALAJARA
HERMOSILLO
MEXICALI
MEXICO
MONTERREY
