Aerotel Jamaica is sending invoices
for "communication" charges - $22 per leg - to all aircraft
entering the Jamaica FIR. DO NOT pay these fees if you are
flying to Jamaica itself, or to the Caymans. They apply only to
aircraft transiting the FIR at or above 24,000 ft. All other
aircraft are advised by Aerotel to ignore the invoices.

Florida Aircraft Tax - don't
believe most of what you have heard or read. According to the
Florida Tax officials - "If an airplane owner has no nexus to
Florida (didn't buy the plane here, doesn't own real estate, no
business, not a corporate officer in a business) and is just coming
in within six months of purchase for a few days, the Florida
Department of Revenue will not be looking at that person. Our
enforcement unit is geared toward looking for people with some
connection to the state -- purchased the plane here, own property,
etc."

The inexpensive, low-altitude,
Caribbean IFR charts and approach plates from the FAA/ Department of
Defense that were available at a very reasonable price are no longer
available to the general public, effective Oct 1, 2007. The only
chart option currently available is the Jeppesen Caribbean trip kit
for about $140. For the northern Bahamas, however, the FAA IFR
chart L19 get the job done.
