Member's Home Forums General Discussion Mexico Mexico Aeronautical & Regulatory Mexican AIP is now on-line

The Mexican AIP (commonly called the "PIA" by pilots down here in Mexico) is now available on-line. We have already signed up and tested it out and it is quite good. However, officially it IS NOT the official AIP, only the paper and CD versions are the authentic ones that can be used.

Therefore, Charter operators and Mexican pilots will still need to haul around the paper version in their aircraft. The good news is that you can now access the approaches and a host of other information for airports in Mexico. Remember, these are not considered "official" so technically you cannot use them for IFR operations but they are handy to have nonetheless.

To access the on-line AIP go to the following link. Once you are on the main page you need to register to set up an account. THE WEBSITE ONLY APPEARS TO WORK WITH GOOGLE CHROME (THERE IS ACTUALLY A STATEMENT TO THAT EFFECT ON THE SITE, WE COULD NOT GET IT TO WORK WITH IE9). Once you complete the registration steps, the system will send you an email to confirm your account registration. This email will contain a link which once you click on it, the registration process will be complete and you will be able to access the AIP. We had been asking for an on-line AIP for a long time and are happy to see it become a reality.
