I know most folks file a DVFR flight plan when crossing to/from mexico. I also know that IFR is an option too. Anyone know if I need to file an international IFR flight plan or can I use the regular domestic IFR filing as found on the duat.com portal?
I'm departing mexico VFR from Chihuahua city airport. My desire is to call FSS 10 miles before crossing the ADIZ and activate my IFR flight plan at that point. I assume at that point they will clear me to kprs and hand me to ABQ center. Is that a proper procedure? I will fly that IFR plan and cancel it when I have KPRS in sight. Thanks much. Ed
As a side note, I want to file ifr entering mexico a few days earlier. Bullhead city Arizona to San Felipe Mexico. I fully understand the eapis system other than my IFR question.
