Cabo Pilot Layover Guide

Operational guide for flying private/charter
MMSD
Parking during high season can be scarce, get a reservation through your handler as soon as you can
It can take a LONG time to get fuel, consider fueling on arrival if possible
MMSL
Book everything right through the FBO, no handler required
High terrain nearby, don't recommend going in at night unless familiar with the area
Runway has significant slope and crown
FBO can arrange crew ground transportation, very convenient
WHERE TO STAY
WHERE TO EAT
WHAT TO DO
Two main areas to stay, the Marina (close to MMSL). Very touristy, lots of action. Many crews prefer to stay in or near San Jose (near MMSD). If you want the traditional high energy Mexico experience, visit the Marina. If you want the more cultured and relaxed experience, stay in San Jose.
