Landing in Cusco has indeed been one of my scariest landings ever! The views before landing are amazing and breathtaking ! The very sudden and steep descend was crazily fast !!
The altiplano is a term is spanish for A large plain in Hight altitude , I think that's why the wind can be a serious factor for aborting landings in cusco or at any altiplano in the world.
Ya this brought me back to my flight into Cusco years ago. I most certainly had white knuckles. The approach is scary as hell if you are at all squeamish about flying.
I landed there earlier this year and we had to do a go around - very scary. I have flown hundreds of flights over the years and that was one of the top 3 most dangerous landings I have ever experienced. The turbulence was wicked and coupled with the tight quarters and high altitude, almost gave me a heart attack, haha! What a thrill ride - but once is enough!!
I've flown into this airport twice... The first time it was much like the experience of this video, the second however scared the living crap out of me and almost everyone who was aboard the flight. Great videos and thanks for the upload!
You are right. For a trained flight crew, this is a normal landing. But it is considered to be a high risk approach, because of the high terrain and high landing alitutude. You have to constantly watch your height above the terrain and have to have visual contact with the runway, well above it. These are reasons, why they build a new one, Chinchero Airport.
I went there during my travel to Macchu Pichu. Such a view in the landing , sometimes the plane shaked a lot. Although it was amazing. The pilots have incredible experience.
Most dangerous approach I can think of is landing at paro. The runway is super short at only around 6,000 feet long at an elevation of 7,000 feet. You are surrounded by high mountains, and you have to make a series of sharp turns just for an immediately short final to the runway. The takeoff is also hard as you need to make it airborne off of such a short runway at a high elevation and try to gain altitude to get out of the valley without hitting the mountains.
The Approach was... BREATHTAKING!!! The landing was very professional and the touchdown so smoooooth... The Captain has done a very good job! This Video is outstanding! Thx for sharing with us & greets from Germany, Dantorp.
Vaya suerte volando con cielo semi despejado, yo volé de Lima a Cusco en mal tiempo por la zona de montaña para llegar a Cusco e incluso llovió en Cusco y tuve que esperar a que parara un poco para salir del aeropuerto.
Great video, the approach is very similar to that of Innsbruck, Austria; through the valleys, mountains on the wing tips with a 180 turn to land! Thanks!
Nice video... if you can someday try to come to torres del paine national park in chile, we have great landings with beatifull views in puerto natales and punta arenas airports.
The first time I flew out of there as a passenger. I didn't think the pilot was ever going to lift off. It seemed like he used all the runway. It was a long time ago and I was in a 707 flown by Avianca. It was a scary experience.
in Sucre Bolivia the old airport Juana Azurduey de Padilla had an approach in between mountains the whole way then a hill right in front of the runway look it up
At about the 10:51 mark is when the car alarms start up... the old school car alarms when it goes through the whoo, whoo, whoo, bwoop, bwooop, bwoooop, weaoooo, weaooo, weaooo, then interrupted by a blip, blip. It only happens every morning around 6. I hope you didn't want to sleep past that.
Ok, it’s the approach and traffic pattern legs; downwind. base, and final..nothing dangerous about that. Very scenic..! It must be a blast to actually fly the airplane down that valley.!!
I just did this a few weeks ago. The plane did a steep banking to the left to do a U turn around the mountains. Luckily, I was on the left side of the place to see the spectacular view. It was the most amazing approach I've ever seen.
I flew on a plane to Cusco and it was one of the scariest landings I’ve experienced. The scariest was flying in dense clouds over the Andes Mountains to land in Santiago, Chile.
Jesus Christ....that was not a landing....it was indeed a True Schweppes ....Smooooothhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and amazing touchdown after such a demanding app...Great scenery, awesome clip, amazing pilots
Dangerous???!!! Come on!!! Give me abreak! That was a really smooth landing. It is clear that this type of terrain requires an adequate approach, but this airport is really nice. I agree, there are indeed dangerous approaches, but this is NOT one of them.
The more I watch these videos is the more I feel stupid for nothing staying focused on my aviation training.The biggest mistake I made was dating , I would've been and airline pilot by now, but unfortunately I'm missing out!
Good video, sadly you're inflating your currency with the title. It's day VMC. Show me an engine out, night approach with rain and wind and you can call it DANGEROUS!!!
You could be my perfect wife girl... I love it all too. P.s.i'd like to come in Chile in the next future,the see the south,La Tierra del Fuego in particoular... Puntarenas and Ushuaia Argentina. Then come to Antarctica with me? :-) Just kidding lady... I'from Rome

Great video. Crystal clear. Incredible view of your destination with a silk smooth landing.

Beautiful mountain views, would love to go there one day. What a soft landing! Great pilot :)
Great footage. Honduras have a dangerous approach and landing as well.
I've flown into this airport twice... The first time it was much like the experience of this video, the second however scared the living crap out of me and almost everyone who was aboard the flight. Great videos and thanks for the upload!
I've flown into this airport, on Latam, three times, and the turn is the scary part.
A go-around there must be fun with all the mountains in all directions.
DANGEROUS approach? Give me a break it is a normal landing.
whateverpbk an approach and landing with more attention but not dangerous. You are correct!
Its 3000m+ above sea level, so the approach speed is faster than normal, im guessing thats why its "dangerous". Im guessing its captain only landing.
Luis Miguel Mak Shen yeah I’ve seen videos of planes landing here it seems they are going a little bit faster than usual
Absoluletly, and a very few landings were you can previously see the whole runway before with a nice turn around mountain
You are right. For a trained flight crew, this is a normal landing. But it is considered to be a high risk approach, because of the high terrain and high landing alitutude. You have to constantly watch your height above the terrain and have to have visual contact with the runway, well above it. These are reasons, why they build a new one, Chinchero Airport.
My heart was definitely going when I landed there. I'm sure it was normal for the pilots, but a lot of the passengers were clearly unnerved.
Desde que ingresas a cusco todo todo es fantastico
Wow. Now that is breathtaking aproach. Great vid!
I went there during my travel to Macchu Pichu. Such a view in the landing , sometimes the plane shaked a lot. Although it was amazing. The pilots have incredible experience.
Is approach is very impressive! Thumbs up for sharing this great video!
I loved the approach on my flight there, it's really cool being so close to the mountains! A brilliant video as always :)
Oh, thanks for this one. Magnifico.
not a dangerous (for a competent flight crew) but a very beautiful and scenic one
You need skilled pilots for flying to Cuzco or La Paz. I love the scenic view of the Andes mountains.

Awesome video! I landed there last week, but it was at night. Talk about hard to breathe in that city! So high!

Wow !! This is trully amazing
What an awesome approach!!! Thx for the video!! :D
‼️‼️‼️👏👏👏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻WHAT SUCH A WONDERFUL LANDING‼️‼️‼️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏
Dangerous mountains route fantastic video - thanks for posting
Love the mountain scenery!
I was on a couple of flights into cusco last July 19 fantastic views and close ups of the Andes feels like you could reach out the window touch them
Vaya suerte volando con cielo semi despejado, yo volé de Lima a Cusco en mal tiempo por la zona de montaña para llegar a Cusco e incluso llovió en Cusco y tuve que esperar a que parara un poco para salir del aeropuerto.
this is stunning. THX for upload.
excellent smooth landing
Brilliant clip Dan... keep them rolling -)
This reminds me of the approach into Queenstown, New Zealand.
Yeeeees, was thinking of this as well
palm springs is such a amazing landing!! u can see the 15,000 feet mountain, the meadows and the small city there!
Great video, the approach is very similar to that of Innsbruck, Austria; through the valleys, mountains on the wing tips with a 180 turn to land! Thanks!
Absolutely soft landing! Did not hear any boom boom on the ground!!! Salute to pilots!
Your Right Dantorp Aviation That is A very very dangerous Approach! Well You went over the High Mountains!
grandes pilotos de latam, suave aterrizaje
That's a great and every interesting approach complete with a very soft landing.
Great view and spectacular approach.....good one :)
Beautiful video! Thanks!
Wonderfull video😮! Congratulation😮!
Great video keep up the good work
splendid view over the Andes. From safety factor it is a quite low flight over rocky mountains with such a big plane....
Looks scimilar to Tegucigalpa, Honduras! Nice video :)
indeed hard approach but I was landed very smooth great video
I‘ve just checked out the charts of the airport. Damn that looks difficult. In other words: I can‘t wait to try this approach on sim 😁
Beautiful and amazing approach
He greased that landing, bravo!
Great video of a difficult approach.
that was awesome, just a turn around the mountain and bam, you landed:)
mountainous terrain is generally dangerous when flying. But tthere are approaches that are more dangerous.
toncontin tegucigalpa, Lukla Nepal.
C - S Only in FSX lmao
Yup! And Paro in Bhutan
C - S doesn’t make it any less challenging.
where was the dangerous approach? i must have missed it.
10:56 everyone shit their pants 💩
Incredible Scenery! This is just like landing in Quito, Ecuador.
10:55 - Funny !
Amazing video by the way, beautiful scenery !
lol
What an exciting approach!
Super bonito tanto el vídeo como el acento de la azafata. :)
Nice video... if you can someday try to come to torres del paine national park in chile, we have great landings with beatifull views in puerto natales and punta arenas airports.
There is a place, I'd love to get to.
NO
Thats look like smooth landing and stark turbulance
The first time I flew out of there as a passenger. I didn't think the pilot was ever going to lift off. It seemed like he used all the runway. It was a long time ago and I was in a 707 flown by Avianca. It was a scary experience.

Smooth landing good vid
Well, the circling approach to rwy 08 at Innsbruck is way more difficult to perform.
My wife and I went to Machu Picchu last year. The takeoff from Cuzco was something in itself, the landing has to be way more difficult.
Landing in Cusco in rainny season and the middle of clouds is absolutely freaking out.
Damn boy, is there anywhere you HAVEN'T flown to? :-) LOVE your videos!
Very good video
At about the 10:51 mark is when the car alarms start up... the old school car alarms when it goes through the whoo, whoo, whoo, bwoop, bwooop, bwoooop, weaoooo, weaooo, weaooo, then interrupted by a blip, blip. It only happens every morning around 6. I hope you didn't want to sleep past that.
Spectacular view !

When your pilot/ plane turned around the mountain oh my!

You are brave gi
Hermoso aterrizaje

I miss flying to South America the majestic Andes extend over 7 of 10 countries it makes the experience unforgettable
12:03 "Have we landed yet?"
Come to Argentina!!! :D so many stunning approaches here!!
Dangerous???!!! Come on!!! Give me abreak! That was a really smooth landing. It is clear that this type of terrain requires an adequate approach, but this airport is really nice. I agree, there are indeed dangerous approaches, but this is NOT one of them.
Couldn't agree more
I always do love flying
Think my heart would have been in my mouth with that landing
They make it look easy.
Já vivi essa emoção..adrenalina a 1000
excellent
Gracias.
nice aproch almost Zurich Kloten.
Can the ILS handle this kind of approach or do the pilots have to manually perform it?
No ILS in Cusco, it is a visual approach from the mountains...
That is quite a high traffic pattern!
Breathtaking beauty at 5:30
10:55 What was that?
Sounded like ppl reacting to turbulence.
The more I watch these videos is the more I feel stupid for nothing staying focused on my aviation training.The biggest mistake I made was dating , I would've been and airline pilot by now, but unfortunately I'm missing out!
can someone tell me what kind of a Airport is this Cusco
it Doesnt look like a Airport at all

Good video, sadly you're inflating your currency with the title. It's day VMC. Show me an engine out, night approach with rain and wind and you can call it DANGEROUS!!!

10:55 what happend??
Goat Gamer Winds hitting the plane
Incredibly smooth landing after all that scare. I wont be flying in here! The approach is as hairy as it can get for a heavy.
Dayananda Srikantaiah you’ll regret it. It’s one of the most beautiful places out there
SPZO airport is very challenging for landing
