I’m going to defend the FAA on this one. The FAA has no jurisdiction over what other countries do regarding this issue. Just like no other country has jurisdiction over the FAA in US airspace.
Your angst should focus on contacting NAV CANADA, Bahamian Civil Aviation Authority, Mexico’s Agencia Federal de Aviacion Civil, or any other civil aviation agency.
What are your options:
- Buy the charts for the respective countries just like foreign pilots need to buy US charts for flying in the US. (Let’s keep this symmetrical.) OR
- Buy Jepps.
