Your 1st Flight to Mexico – including What’s New in 2024

Post by waynemcc999 »


In this short video we reference and summarize a presentation and related checklist that seeks to capture the What and How to make adventure flights to Mexico happen. What documents do you need… what process to follow… and what’s new for Mexico GA travel in 2024. We check it all out with a day trip to San Felipe (MMSF). Welcome aboard! Wayne, GeezerGeek Pilot

Thanks Wayne! Going to make a trip in N112NG to Mexico this year, many more steps than when I went to Canada in N491TC.

Outstanding video. :thumbsup:

Not sure if it remains the case, but I heard that even AOPA seemed to be unsure about 2024 procedure changes instituted by the Mexican federal government. Maybe some Mexican POE airports need time to understand and incorporate these changes.

Thanks, Dave. I expect you’re correct that many Comandancias and Mexico City might be converging on the new procedures.
