AFAC Pilot License Renewal: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to renew your flight credentials in Mexico, including the necessary medical certificates and timing requirements for pilots.
This scheme allows pilots to update their flight credentials to ensure they remain legally authorized to fly.
Who it's for
This is for active commercial and private pilots whose flight credentials have already expired or are nearing their expiration date.
What you get
You receive updated, valid flight credentials. These allow you to legally operate aircraft both within Mexican airspace and in international airspace.
What it costs you
The cost is variable and depends on the specific type of license you hold. To complete the process, you must provide a current flight hours log and a valid medical certificate (Examen médico aeronáutico).
The catch to know
The renewal system can sometimes experience delays. To avoid any lapse in your ability to fly, you should begin the renewal process at least 60 days before your current credentials expire.
How to apply
- Gather your current flight hours log and medical certificate.
- Prepare to pay the fee associated with your specific license type.
- Submit your renewal request through the official government portal.
