2009 version of our popular Pilot's Guide to Mexico's Gulf Coast & Yucatan Peninsula. Updated yearly 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. 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 officals and from our 16 years of experience in Mexico.
