PILOT'S GUIDE - 2008 EDITION

We're proud to present the 2008 version of our popular Pilot's Guide to Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. The guide continues in a hard cover, 7-ring format. Updated with current procedures for flying private, general aviation airplanes to, and within, ALL of Mexico and containing verified airport information for the Mexican Gulf Coast and Southeast Mexico, it is a "must have" for any trip to Mexico. We also recommend the new Mexican VFR WAC Charts for your navigation needs.

Obtaining verified and accurate information on procedures for flying a private airplane to Mexico and obtaining up-to-date, verified information on airports in Mexico can be a major challenge. With the support of Mexico's Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC), we have developed this Pilot's Guide to Mexico to provide pilots with an additional source of information to supplement official navigation sources. The data in the guide was obtained from years of meetings with the DGAC, Mexico's Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP), meetings with local aviation and government officals and from our 15 years of experience in Mexico and visits to each airport in the guide. The 2008 Pilot's Guide compiles applicable and current information on U.S. and Mexican regulations and guidelines that apply to U.S. registered aircraft on private, international flights from the USA to Mexico.

Being based in Mexico and conducting trips throughout the country, allows us the unique opportunity to continuously visit airports to keep information updated. We do not accept any pictures nor unverified information from third parties for the development of our guides. THIS INFORMATION IS NOT INTENDED FOR NAVIGATION, IT IS FOR GENERAL REFERENCE ONLY.
