interesting to hear your perspective. I've often wondered how veteran pilots felt when glass cockpits became commonplace, particularly after hearing what John Hutchinson (Concorde Pilot) had to say about glass cockpits, something like "none of that poncy glass cockpit rubbish".

Competent English? They speak english absolutely perfect albeit with a German accent. A person from Newcastle speaks English with a Newcastle accent etc. To do this job you have to bilingual at least and preferably equally fluent in two languages. English, German and Spanish are a must for a long haul pilot. At least for one of the pilots.

Thanks for bringing me home once again, if only virtually. Exceptional professionalism and nerves of steel. I was on pins and needles, remembering how as a teenager I was terrified and thinking - how in the world are we going to land in such a heavily populated crazy valley. I am from Guayaquil, Ecuador but remember traveling with my father to Quito and Cuenca by commercial flight. I took my wife to Ecuador for the first time in 2013 and she was in awe of the airports in the Highlands there. It takes nerves of steel just to be a passenger... I hope someone has video of landing at San. Cristobal, Galapagos - another harrowing experience.

Nice video! Superbly executed and narrated with great CRM by this crew. I used to fly into the old Quito airport a lot and I would agree with this captain, it takes your full attention. We almost always did it at night. Right before they closed the old airport they actually got an RNAV RNP that "curved" you in an "S" shape while you descended towards the south on glideslope towards the south. Never got to do the new approach other than the sim, and when the sim guy took the weather away it was shocking to see how close to those mountains we were as we snaked through them, and then landed south. The new airport is very nice in every respect, and fantastically smooth runway surface, but the new airport sits in an area that is prone to fog. Thanks again for a great video!

JohnnyWishbone85 well... back about 12 years ago or so, the Aviation industry suggested the Pilots and ATC should know some basic English and also take any english proficiency text as well considering majority of the Air Industry began here In the U.S. to begin with. Clear communication between pilots and air traffic controllers is absolutely necessary for safety. What happens when a flight crew flies to a country that speaks a different language? Just imagine: an Air China flight crew that speaks Mandarin arrives in Paris and must converse with French controllers. In order to communicate effectively, flight crews and controllers must share a common language. Then about 10 years ICAO decided that all pilots and ATC SHOULD BE ABLE TO NOT ONLY SPEAK ENGLISH... BUT WRITE IT AND UNDERSTAND IT TOO. Sometime you'll hear over the Frequencies ATC & PILOTS speaking in a different language however, that's only because they flight crew indicated that upon first check in. Example would be "Good Morning...Hello...Good evening, Newark Center this is Catus 2347 Heavy on 121 (decimal) 22 we're now making our initial decent, leaving flight level 2-2 (TOO-TOO thousand) down to FL 2-0 (Too ZE-ROW thousand) (maintaining head 2-7-0 degrees weather (c) Charlie, awaiting vectors for an ILS Approach." Basically their telling the tower they speak English and transmitting in frequency 121.22 and leaving their previous flight level of 22,000 feet and their current heading and their latest weather info was C they're waiting for their next set of instructions... Be it a heading change, altitude, speed, nearby traffic ECT. When ATC hears this, especially the weather report, if the weather has changed since their focus is landing, ATC will provide them with new weather and runaway closure, traffic, vectors (This is just an example. I can go on forever. Lol.) But take any Spanish speaking country. Similar scenario as above. But it's Mexico/Spain/Puerto Rico/Dominican Republic ECT and this flight crew may call in like this.... (Buenos Dias, Tardes, Noche....), ATC now knows that they prefer Spanish. Not because they don't know English but more they're more comfortable.

The old Quito airport was one of the most dangerous airports in the world for landing a plane. You had to look out for the volcanos, very tall Andes Mountains and the highrise buildings, as the old airport was in the very center of town. Quito sits on the north side of The Avenue of the Volcanos. This video shows how large Quito is and the beautiful landscape. Fantastic video of the old airport. Thank you so much!

Carrying flowers to Germany. Interessante chegada em Quito. Normalmente os vídeos mostram vôos que terminam nos terminais de passageiros. O piloto explica que a tripulação teve que passar por um treinamento de 8 horas no simulador antes de voar para Quito. Segundo ele, este é o aeroporto mais desfiador para a Lufthansa. Carga para a Alemanha: flores. Interessante Ankunft in Quito. Normalerweise zeigen die Videos Fluggastterminals. Der Pilot hat gute Kentnisse der Umgebung.

With all the captain's detailing, inexperienced or non-pilots watching this video may miss the BIG difference in high altitude approaches - increased speed. Although the pilots are flying at their normal INDICATED approach speed (say, 130 knots), their TRUE airspeed increases 2% per thousand feet of altitude, i.e. 155 knots. You can clearly see this in the video - all the aircraft come screaming across the threshold! A 3 degree glideslope requires an excessively high rate of descent, and then the runway. Sh!t happens - fast (-: Great job, guys!

I landed - and started - in Quito (a local name meaning The Face of God) at least 50 times. Never had any problems, Braniff, Lufthansa, Avianca, Lacsa, Taca... Pilots of excelence, at Taca as well Lady Pilots. I remember a hairy landing in Guayaquil, Captain beeing a Lady, announcing that we would have severe trouble making it to the ground because of bad weather. She approached two times, two times choose for a go around and then set us safely on the runway. That was Tame (Transportes Aéreos Militares del Ecuador). Thank you again, M'am, for that trip.

Quito is amazing city. Unfortunately, they missed a good view of the spectacular old town on the left just before they cross Guapolo and the ridge with all the residential towers. My favorite memories, though are from standing on the roof top of one of those buildings seen at 13:46 exactly underneath the ILS glide path, seemingly within reach of the planes.

If Quito is a challenge because of the altitude, try to Imagine El Alto airport in La Paz: 4060 mts altitude

Fortunately this is not the airport they use any longer. They're out past the Tumbaco Valley past Pifo. And the Ruta Vida is a quick route into the city by bus or taxi and there is a now 2018 a new open fast route for the people living in the north to avoid a very long drive around.

Aeroporto "complicado" para aproximação e pouso, mas a vista ao redor é deslumbrante. Sou admirador de comandantes e pilotos femininos e a Lufthansa está de parabéns por te-las em seu quadro de funcionários.
