Member's Home Forums General Discussion Mexico Mexico Airports MMUN - Cancun Ramp Check in Cancun, MEX (MMUN)

One of our members was ramp-checked yesterday by Mexico's DGAC in Cancun, Mexico (MMUN). Amongst the specific items checked were:

Airworthiness Certificate
Registration Certificate
Insurance
Pilot License
Medical Certificate
RADIO STATION LICENSE
RADIO OPERATOR PERMIT
Raft & Life Jackets (it was an over-water flight)

If you are planning to fly to MMUN, you should be aware that you may be requested to demonstrate compliance with all applicable regulations which includes Radio Station License for the aircraft and at least a Restricted Radio Operator Permit for the pilot. If your flight is over water beyond gliding distance, Mexican regulations require laft raft and life jackets for all on board.

Is life raft required for twin engine planes ?

Hello Rstan,

Mexican regulations require life rafts and life jackets when the aircraft is beyond gliding distance. The regulation does not differentiate between single versus multi-engine. We would have said that we have never been checked until this ramp check when they checked radio station license, radio operator permit, oxygen systems, survival equipment etc.

Hope this helps.
