Now in its 6th edition, Caribbean Sky Tours has released its 2013-2015 Pilots Guide to Mexico and Central America. Printed in FULL COLOR, the 2013-2015 Pilot’s Guide has almost twice as many airports including destination photos and verified airport information with airport pictures and sketches as well as important telephone contact information. The Pilot Guide’s “Procedures” section has been expanded to include procedures for each country with what you need to know to enter, fly within, depart or over-fly each country. With your purchase, you also receive a FREE 1 year membership to the Caribbean Sky Tours Member Website which provides access to fuel prices, procedures, forms, charts, weather and more (a $49.99 value).

Updated regularly with current procedures for flying private, general aviation airplanes to, and within, ALL of Mexico and containing verified airport information, it is a "must have" for any trip to Mexico. We also recommend the new Mexican VFR WAC Charts for your navigation needs.

Caribbean Sky Tours works closely with Mexican authorities to obtain verified and accurate information on procedures for flying a private airplane to Mexico as well as updated airport information 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 officials and from our 16 years of experience in Mexico.

This was accomplished with their unique combination of:

• Speaking the language and being from the region
• Based in Mexico
• Executive council member of Mexico Federation of Pilots
• AOPA Authorized representative in Mexico

As well as conducting trips throughout the country, allows us the unique opportunity to stay abreast of aviation topics in Mexico. THIS INFORMATION IS NOT INTENDED FOR NAVIGATION, IT IS FOR GENERAL REFERENCE ONLY.
