406 MHz ELT for Mexico

[Rick Gardner]

Although unofficial verbal communications have indicated a willingness to allow U.S. registered aircraft to operate in Mexico without complying with the 406 MHz ELT requirement, THERE IS STILL NO OFFICIAL PUBLICATION from the Mexican DGAC on this matter. As early as today we received additional feedback from within the DGAC indicating that this issue is being addressed at the highest levels of the DGAC and that a resolution is forthcoming. In the meantime, the July 1’st date continues to be the “official” date. We will continue to monitor this situation and make all attempts to obtain an official statement prior to July 1, 2008. We will continue to publish updates on the NEWS page of the Caribbean Sky Tours website.
