March 26, 2010:  Mexico Extends the 406 Requirement 

Mexican DGAC has just informed us that they have extended the 406 MHz ELT requirement for private aircraft flying in Mexican airspace to December 31, 2011.  Commercial aircraft flying in Mexican airspace have until April 2, 2010 to make the change.  In working with the DGAC in Mexico, we are getting the feeling that the 406 requirement for private aircraft may be extended indefinitely.  We will continue to keep all updated regarding this and other issues.

Looks like the US took care of Mexico´s 406 requirement - 6/23/2010


The Federal Communications Commission took the general aviation world by surprise when it said in a recent report it will prohibit the sale or use of 121.5 MHz emergency locator transmitters, effective in August. The Aircraft Electronics Association said it just learned of the new rule today, and has begun working with the FAA, FCC and others to allow for timely compliance without grounding thousands of general aviation aircraft. The 121.5 ELTs are allowed under FAA rules. The FCC said its rules have been amended to "prohibit further certification, manufacture, importation, sale or use of 121.5 MHz ELTs." The FCC says that if the 121.5 units are no longer available, aircraft owners and operators will "migrate" to the newer 406.0-406.1 MHz ELTs, which are monitored by satellite, while the 121.5 frequency is not. "Were we to permit continued marketing and use of 121.5 MHz ELTs ... it would engender the risk that aircraft owners and operators would mistakenly rely on those ELTs for the relay of distress alerts," the FCC says. AOPA said today it is opposed to the rule change.

"The FCC is making a regulatory change that would impose an extra cost on GA operators, without properly communicating with the industry or understanding the implications of its action," said AOPA Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Rob Hackman. "There is no FAA requirement to replace 121.5 MHz units with 406 MHz technology. When two government agencies don´t coordinate, GA can suffer." The AEA said dealers should refrain from selling any new 121.5 MHz ELTs "until further understanding

Line up and Wait - 2/19/2010


Some joke about the Controlers in Mexico and Central America when they say "Line up and Wait" however....  From BBP Member Sanders Achen

TOWERS MAY SOON TELL PILOTS TO “LINE UP AND WAIT”

Soon controllers may be issuing new instructions to pilots when they are given permission to taxi onto a runway before issuing a takeoff clearance, if a new Air Traffic Control phraseology is adopted. The FAA Safety Risk Management Panel concluded that it is safe to replace the FAA phraseology, "position and hold," with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) phraseology,

"line up and wait."

The National Transportation Safety Board previously recommended that the FAA amend order 7110.65, requiring the use of standard ICAO phraseology for airport surface operations.

The change, which is being coordinated within the FAA, requires an extensive awareness campaign to ensure pilots and controllers are informed. If approved later this month, the changes could be implemented by June, 2010.

Fire destroys kitchen at the Hotel Serenidad - 6/17/2009


June 17, 2009:


Early this morning, a fire of unknown nature broke out in the kitchen of the Hotel Serenidad.  The entire kitchen was consumed by the fire, the roof is gone, and it is a complete rebuild.  The lobby, dining room, office, etc, suffered some smoke damage but I am told that it was very light.


The Hotel is in the process of setting up a temporary kitchen and hopes to have the service restored in the next several days.


There were no injuries and I am told that the guests at the hotel are going downtown to eat.
