Jeppesen Charts for Mexico Online?

[skydan5]

I know there are websites out there where you can access NOS charts for the US, but what about Jeppesen charts for Mexico? Any ideas?

You probably want them for the same reason I want them. I'm not sure, other than just buying them from Jepp (which runs about $100, if I remember right).

Let me know when you know!

Edit: I just looked at your profile. Nevermind about wanting them for the same reason.

I don't think there is anywhere to view Jepps online for free.

If you want the charts for educational purposes, get some outdated ones from a flight department.

If you want them operational, buy the charts and use current, genuine charts. Not what you pull off the internet.

The loss of the Lear recently in Mexico points to the need to fly current, exact proceedures there, and everywhere else (especially at night). Use current charts, and if you're flying down there, buy a trip kit, or buy a subscription. Don't just grab a chart or two, even if you *think* it's current, and go.

I've seen a lot of pilots grab just one or two charts and head down there...head anywhere. They have a departure chart, destination chart, and they think they're golden...until they have to divert for weather, or fuel, or an emergency, or any other reason...then they have nothing. You should carry a full set of charts for the area over which you're operating, unless you're a Part 121 operator with a limited selection of fields, and narrow parameters.

You're going to run into circumstances over and over again when things change, when choices are made enroute which weren't necessarily your plan when you left home...and having a simple full set of charts to accomodate those changes is an important safety consideration. Good luck.

The loss of the Learjet in Mexico is exactly why I want to look at them since I flew that route many times before and knew both guys in the crash. I wanted to see them for my own edification and couldn't find them anywhere online. Soooo, I got my lazy but up and went to the airport and made a copy.
