NOTAMS / Alerts
We have made a small change on our Member menu. I have made two choices on that menu, one for BBP Alerts and the second for NOTAMS. The NOTAM choice will take you into the FAA database that covers the US as well as Mexico, Central America, etc. All should review NOTAMS for their destination....
Mexican Liability insurance
The BBP now provides Mexican Liability insurance for aircraft that are not older than 50 years. This is a change as in the past, our underwriter allowed aircraft between 50 and 60 years old to be insured through a special application process.
There are some US underwriters in the US that do cover Mexico's liability requirements. If your aircraft is more than 50 years old, this could be a solution.
