2. To minimize Air Traffic Control delays aircraft filing into
Honduras and back out within 24 hours should file both the
inbound and outbound DD 1801 Flight Plans at the base of
departure outside Honduras. Re-file outbound flight plan at Soto
Cano (MHSC) Base Operations. DIP Clearance and Squawk
required before issuing PPR. If this information will not be
available 48 hours prior to scheduled arrival, call Base Operations
to begin request, then notify Base Operations as soon as possible
of DIP Clearance and Squawk information.
3. WEATHER SERVICE - All transient aircrews requiring DD
175-1 flight weather briefings and PMSV support, are required to
notify the 25th OWS at Davis-Monthan AFB (KDMA), AZ not later
than 2 hours prior to requested briefing/takeoff time. 24 hour
service is available. PMSV service requires a phone patch to the
25th OWS at DSN 228-1977/2027/2138. Soto Cano's (MHSC)
flight weather briefing area is equipped with a dedicated
computer with Internet access and bookmarks to the 25th OWS
to view flight hazard charts, satellite pictures, weather
observations and Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts.
4. Aircrews can expect easier and quicker clearance
procedures by filing for in-country missions below FL200.
5. Intensive VFR traffic not under US Air Traffic Control may
cause controllers to initiate breakout or go-around procedures.
Due to mountainous terrain surrounding Soto Cano AB (MHSC),
and MVA constraints, pilots can expect to fly the only standard
IFR breakout/go-around procedure Air Traffic Control is
authorized to issue: “TRACK OUTBOUND ON THE ESC 347
RADIAL (RWY 35), THE ESC 170 RADIAL (RWY 17), CROSS
DEPARTURE END AT OR BELOW 3100’, THEN CLIMB AND
MAINTAIN 7400’ (RWY 35), 7200’ (RWY 17).” Pilots operating
under VFR rules or canceling IFR may execute the following VFR
break/go-around after coordinating with Air Traffic Control:
"EXECUTE CLIMBING LEFT TURN W/SW (RWY 35), RIGHT TURN
W/NW (RWY 17), MAINTAIN VFR, CONTACT TOWER/GCA FOR
RE-ENTRY INTO THE PATTERN/SEQUENCE." If a pilot cannot
comply with the above procedures, advise ATC on initial contact.

6. All transient aircraft originating outside Honduras must
process through Soto Cano AB Immigration.
7. Storage of classified materials not available at Base
Operations. Contact Joint Operations Center for storage.
