Yes, Mexico will be a new and different challenge but so far we are only talking one airport, Monterey. I cant imagine how that one single airport will be just out of reach of the capabilities of the majority of pilots here.
Yes, we have a few pilots that are very capable of flying an arc into the side of a mountain in day VMC, luckily that is not the norm.
I dont see how we have gotten over 40 posts on this topic.
Most of the posts have been about the marketability and operational flexibility of the Q, I don't see anyone questioning the skills of any pilot group, there have been a few post talking about the different challenges that flying into Mexico can bring though. Either you're too lazy to read all 40 posts, or you don't read very well. Which one is it?
