What are the regs, M.O.s, and FYIs on leaving U.S. airspace?
Specifically, what problems might one encounter in attempting to plan a flight from the continental U.S.A. to South America?
More specifically still, what's stopping Person X in their small G.A. aircraft and taking their merry time from going over Mexico (stopping in Victoria, perhaps, for a quick Lemonade; Veracruz for the night to sleep near the pier) over Central America, and (missing Colombia entirely, of course) down to Machu Picchu?
I know that it'd take a few weeks, taking one's time and making a tank's worth of flying a day, but surely the paperwork is worse than any of the flying, right?
I remember spending $200 on Mexico Car Insurance and a half day getting an import sticker for a seven drive driving jaunt South of the Border, and I'm just imagining that multiplied by 6 (Guatemala, El Salvador, etc.) times 2 (round trip, god willing).
But maybe not! Anyone tried?
