Just got this from BBP
With Special Authorization from AFAC, Experimental Aircraft can now fly into Mexico
The BBP along with others have been working with various Mexican authorities for the past eighteen months in efforts to find a way to allow US experimental aircraft to fly into Mexico.
We have now succeeded. After months of frustration, along with the help of several BBP
members, we have identified a provider in Mexico City who has access to AFAC and can present
and carry through the necessary paperwork to receive a Special Aircraft Authorization for Experimental, Light Sport, etc. aircraft.
These providers, working with AFAC, will provide this authorization that will be valid for the life of the aircraft as long as the pilot, aircraft, and N Number all remain the same.
As proof of concept, we applied for and received the authorization through this source for BBP Member Mike Neff who was also influential in making contact with the provider. As further proof, we sent this authorization to the Commanders of several Mexican Ports of Entry including Loreto who all have indicated the authorization was valid, official, and would write a Multi Entrance Authorization for aircraft with that authorization.
The BBP has elected not to be involved in the procuring of this special authorization primarily because of the lack of full transparency of this procurement program
There is no responsibility or money involvement for the BBP in this program. Our only involvement is that of letting our members (and others) know who to contact if they wish to get this Special Authorization for their Experimental aircraft. What you see above is what we know. To make it easier, an email address was made for requesting information:

Email your request to the above for more information.
