With the various complexities of completing eAPIS for both Mexico and the USA, plus the new AFAC (Mexico’s FAA) requirement for advance (2 day) filing of flight plan, aircraft and other information, we suggest that you consider a 30 day free usage of specific software to meet all of your needs when flying to Mexico from a foreign county. Plus, there is free data storage for later flights which will minimize your preparatory workload in the future. Here’s additional information from Club Piloto member Steve Blythe.
