Everyone knows MTY is Mexico-lite, anyway. ILSs, and no real terrain if you're coming in from the northeast. So easy, even Colgan can do it.

What are you talking about? Neither are BRO, HRL, MFE. Wait, those aren't technically Mexico.

I love how a bunch of guys who fly planes that fly themselves are talking about the hard flying they do.

Flying single pilot in hard IMC without an autopilot is hard flying. Not relying so much on your technology to get you there, not so much.

(this will serve as a "settle down" to all those guys who will now get upset that I questioned their flying")

i still love you all.

I know you're kidding, but just to clarify, you're attempting to compare apples to oranges here.

You clearly have never shot a VOR/DME arc approach in a non-radar environment, around terrain, to minimums in Mexico. Believe me auto-pilot is irrelevant at that point. Do let me know when you do, it might change your tune....

They might as well be! No offense to anyone here, but I do hope Colgan gets the South Texas Bermuda Triangle (BRO, MFE, HRL, LRD).
