406 MHz ELT for Mexico
As posted on the AOPA website, Mexican regulation NOM-012-SCT3-2001 requires that as of July 1, 2008 all aircraft flying to Mexico must have a 406 MHz ELT. Caribbean Sky Tours and AOPA have already jointly presented formal requests that US registered aircraft be exempted from this requirement due to the fact that US aircraft are not required to have a 406 MHz ELT in the US. I spoke with the Director of Aviaiton of the DGAC today,(the department responsible for this regulation) and they are looking favorably at our requests and trying to find a legal solution. We hope to have more details by the end of next week.
