Border Crossing - Departing
the U.S.
|
|
Border Crossing Flight Plan:
A border crossing flight plan must filed with any U.S. Flight Service
prior to crossing the border. This can be done from the air as well
as by telephone on the ground. Unlike crossing from Mexico back
into the U.S., you are not required to stop at a U.S. AOE (airport
of entry) when flying south into Mexico. For flights departing San
Diego for Tijuana, you may be asked to squawk 1260 within 10nm of
Tijuana.
Airport of Entry:
The first stop after crossing into Mexico must be at an official
Airport of Entry.
General Declaration and Tourist Cards:
Upon landing at the first airport of entry, the pilot will be issued
a General Declaration, which grants permission to have the airplane
in Mexico. It is very important, DO NOT LOOSE THIS! If you lose
the General Declaration, you are in the country illegally and will
be dealt with accordingly. The pilot and passengers will be issued
tourist permits which are valid for 90 days.
Passenger Jockeying:
The Mexican government wants everyone arriving in Mexico in a private
airplane to be in that same airplane when it leaves the country.
Any attempt to jockey passengers is an indication of commercial
usage. It's best to consult with the commandante of you initial
AOE if you anticipate a change in the passenger list. |
