For the fourth consecutive year, the BBP will be at AOPA / Buckeye
The "big" event for AOPA, we will be set up in booths 64/65 in the Exhibt Hall for you to stop by and talk to Jack and Kim as well as to discuss changes for flying in Mexico.
As a special guest, Alonso Dominguez (Rocky Point) will be in our booth to say hi to all his friends who have depended on him at MMPE.
And yes, we will have a "bull-shit" table as well as have computers set up as in the past to answer questions you may have regarding our website including Links, eAPIS, Pre-AIU, and more.

In addition, Erik will be in the aircraft display to talk to you about airport real Estate.
Thinking about buying or selling anywhere in the Americas, he is the guy to talk to.

NEW. OVERFLIGHT AUTHORIZATION
We have just added the ability to request overflight authorization directly from our website. Scroll to the "Members" section of our menu and click on Overflight Exemption.
One of the most common question on this authorization is do I have to fly at flight levels to use it. The rule indicates in layman terms, flight levels or as designated by air traffic control. Ask for 8k or and you are set.
Quick update, I requested overflight and got my permission letter in less than two weeks. Applied on our (this) site, quick and easy.

And if you only want the guide book, it is there also. Also known as the "Red Book, it is all new for 2020.
Information has been checked and re-checked and we have added more Mexican airports including the soon to open airport at Creel.
Also, for the curious, we have added all the ICAO airports in Cuba. Not that US pilots will be landing there, it is for our foreign members as well as those that overfly Cuba and are looking for an emergency landing place (no problem)

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. In addition, in a major change, our underwriters will not write insurance on some aircraft including helicopters. See exclusions on our application form,
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.
