Instructor: Dear Pilots, and now for the normal checklist for landing in Tancontin and its very important. two shots of Vodka, 1 of Gin, 3 of whisky and keep the beer untouched for use after the landing...THATS IT !!!
@lasanha45 I think it is most likely to be a Copa Airlines 737, they have the same livery, but Copa serves all central american airport with higher fly frecuency, but the video es to blur to be sure with airline is
@panapanzer@lasanha45 It's a continental 737... you can tell the difference with the drawing of the globe. While Continental's golden the Copa one is white. Copa only service Tegucigalpa in 737's once a day... From Panama/San Jose... And one Embraer direct from Panama
@DranQNitrouS The -500, -300, -400 (small to large) are 2nd generation with 95' wingspan. -600, 700, 800, 900 (smallest to biggest) are Next Gen with 112' wingspan. -300 and -700 have the same fuselage and have one emergency exit door over the wing. the -500 and -600 are the really short ones (also one door). 400: 2 emergency exits over wing a bit longer than 300, short 95' wings. -800 & -900: 112' wingspan, 2 exits over the wing, longer than the -400. -800 looks balanced, 900 looks looong.
@pilotanthony Yes, I know, but thanks for replying to all seven of us! :)
It can be difficult to tell the difference between a -600 and a -700 in a low quality video shot from far away, but Continental does make it easy for us spotters since they don't own any -600s!
@StratMatt777 haha yes also if you pause at 0:20 you can see vaguely the shape of the wing just behind the number 1 engine you can see its different compared to the old generation 737's :)
@DranQNitrouS Depends on the length normally. The 737 has 8 different versions(ish). the 737-100 doesn't fly anymore, there are a few 200 series left, but the most popular 737's are 800 or 300. The 700/800/900 series normally have massive winglets on them.
It's a lot different now then when I flew in and out of there over 20 years. I understand the runway has been lengthened (some). When I flew in, you look out the window and you wonder where the hell the airport is. Then when you see, it feels like you are trying to hit a dime on a football field. Then you wonder how the heck you are ever going to get out of there. Very scary, very.
thank goodness they got down safely. Must've been equally scarey being inside the plane. Praise be to God every time a plane lands safely. Do you know that we are like little birds up there. We could easily get into a storm or something could go wrong with our plane and we are at the mercy of the natural forces. I for one shouldn't be watching these videos because I fly home tomorrow but I try to only watch the planes that land safely. I have a healthy respect for my mortality these days.
Looks just like the airport at George Town, Grand Cayman. Except for the mountains..and the human monkeys that live in Honduras..fucking third world savages..would never go there..never.
You obviously have never been to The Cayman Islands..as a matter of fact you have probably never left your trailer..fucking mental midget that you are.
@ttiger5050 Wow, Great one buddy. I happen to fly with American Eagle as an F/O currently. So i have obviously have left my trailer before. Also, if I was was mental, I defiantly would not have my commercial pilots license nor if i was a midget. Think before you talk.
@ttiger5050 lol i'm from Honduras, I'm 100% sure I'm smarter than you ;) got a full sholarship to Japan, got accepted into WHeaton and Calvin college with a $22,000 dolar scholarship on each but decided to go to Japan beacuse education here is 3 times better than in America.. pwned bitch
@manny298 trust im from honduras u would have to be train so well to be able to land or take off from here because when ur landing there is a hill in the bak that u have to pass and then u have the fence infront
It really annoyed me how this author stole all my TGU videos from another aviation video website and posted them here on youtube back in 2006. I will be posting these videos here on youtube finally but at a higher resolution since I have the original Digital8 8mm tapes I used to film these.
@ttiger5050 What kind of douche steals other people's videos? Film your own videos. If it's so boring why do you waste your time commenting? Sounds like you're the cry baby, mind your own business. I was there with dreyes78 in person, I know he made this film. People should create original videos and stop ripping others off! Your comment shows your lack of education and manifests your stupidity. You sound like little BITCH!
It's basically your typical, dodgy international airport in a 'less economically developed country' and therefore they can't afford to build another one elsewhere (although the government are planning to replace the airport soon or move operations elsewhere)
I don't know if you know anything about the art of flying aircraft (apparently you don't), but speed is just fine. Nothing wrong with it. Approaching too slow isn't very safe either.
I thought it looked fast too, but I think it's an optical illusion from being so close. His angle of attack looks to be normal for a 737 landing. I'd like to see the view from the mountain top though, because it looked like he landed long (could be another optical illusion?)
The threshold is 800ft from the perimeter fence, thus it appears that the a/c landed long. As for speed, I doubt any sane pilot would fail to abort a overly fast approach at this airport. See TACA flight 390.
A quick visual comparison to other 737 landings leads one to conclude that this one isn't really going any faster than normal.
Well after the Taca A320 crash they're finally planning on transferring international flights to a nearby AF base so this will probably be a thing of the past like Kai Tak in the next decade...
Este aterrizaje pareció mucho peor atrás en los años 1980. No lo recuerdo ser aumentado tan alrededor del aeropuerto. Cuando llegué en avión allí usted descendió de las nubes y todo que usted podría ver era una pista de aterrizaje lo que mira ya no que un campo de fútbol. Como tratar de aterrizar en una moneda de diez centavos. Y todos alrededor de usted, montañas - montañas en todas partes. Usted reza a Dios que usted será capaz de quitar (en un pedazo).
no .. el A320 se accidento porque desobedecio una orden de la torre de no aterrizar en tegucigalpa por el mal clima.. demaciada lluvia y el viento soplando en contra de la cola.. haciendo que el aterrizaje y el avion tuviera mas velocidad. fue una mala decicion por parte del piloto.. dios los guarde
se ve que la velocidad de aterrizaje es demaciado rapida, me imagino que la frenada debe ser fatal a esta velocidad y eso que este es un B737 debe ser por eso que el A320 de taca se accidento, en verdad este si es un aeropuerto peligroso !!

@hockeyman1119 you are very mistaken, this is a -700 BECAUSE: 700's back in 06 never had winglets and yes 737-500's of Continental do have winglets so you are very mistaken
@hockeyman1119 you are very mistaken, this is a -700 BECAUSE: 700's back in 06 never had winglets and yes 737-500's of Continental do have winglets so you are very mistaken.
you can even tell this is a 737-700 BECAUSE: if you pause it at 0:20 you can see the shape of the wing just behind the number 1 engine the wing is different to the old generation 737
Hace poco estuve por alla unos dias me di cuenta de que las maniobras de hay que hacerlas muy precisas y al momento del aterrizaje se tiene que subir el morro un poco mas para ayudar a los frenos aerodinamicos. Ademas que me han contado que para los pasajeros es un poco incomodo acentuar mucho los frenos a los pocos metros de tocar tierra y despues.
don't be afraid of landing in toncontin now that road donesn't exist anymore the airstrip is now larger and is still active i have landed lot of times in that airport and the accidents aren't frequent another thing no one wanted palmerola because the road to that airport is more dangerous than this airport and palmerola is like one and half hour in car, Tegucigalpa can't be whitout an airport , i it's the capital of Honduras and if you think toncontin is dangerous you must investigate more
@apocaliptor1 currently the government is working in a project of improving the road all the way from San Pedro Sula to Tegucigalpa, that means the road from Palmerola as well. I traveled the road 3 months ago and when its finished it will actually be a very good road to travel on. The only problem is that now after the military coup hapened there are no more plans to change the airport to palmerola.
i stood behind that same fence when i saw my mom leave on every of her trips, it makes me sad, but i dont think they let people do that anymore since the accident.. but yea, the landing scares the shit outta me everytime i go there, im ashamed that honduras is notorious for its dangerous airport...
I understand the feeling, honduras should be internationally reconized for its good things not for this, but some things will never change. now we are famous for the political problems. by the way I have no idea why I wrote this in english. XD
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
cheap ass country .. they shouldn't built an airport in between mountains so close n at least make a runway a lil longer. that shit looks like its done by someone that didnt know what he was doing.. big airplanes go fast n heavy they need some room to land.. they shouldnt allow commercial airplanes landing here..(build a safer airport cheap ass ppl)
en honduras ademas de no tener dinero y territorio para un nuevo aeropuerto tampoco tienen madre! si antes que digan que pusieron esa pista mal hecha ahi como aeropuerto pero en serio que honduras estuviera hundida en un poso con aguas negras , jamas debieron salir de su territorio esa gente tan peligrosa como el aeropuerto
He llegado en avión y me he ido en avión. ¿¿Uno quiere agarrar los tobillos y rezar G-d de Abraham, esto parece a una tirita y vamos a aterrizar en esto??? En quitar el que agarra sus tobillos otra vez y reza al padre de Abraham, dar estas alas de cubo de herrumbre entonces esto puede desollar libre.
Woah Jacobssandy, yes Honduras is dangerous because of the gangs (although only in some areas), but to say that you "would be horrified to end up there" is a little insensitive to the people that call Honduras their home don't you think. Just asking for you to be a little less judgmental. :-)
el aeropuerto de tegucigalpa es uno de los mas peligrosos del mundo... urgente debe haber una reubicacion para una mejor seguridad de pasajerosss pero debe ser yaaaaa
Calma, calma, solo necesitan un equipo ILS para la pista 02 y su reciproca 20, y con eso la arman, hay aeropuertos igual de peligrosos pero con esas ayudas es mas que suficiente como LA AURORA, AICM aeropuerto de la ciudad de mexico, inclusive san diego es peligroso tiene la ciudad en medio! y con ILS es suficiente, si San Pedro Sula tiene ILS porque no TONCONTIN?
Si de poner ILS en toncotin no creo que funcione muy bien!! el localizador el avion no lo va agarrar muy rapido!! con ese jiro que hacen tan cerrados los aviones!!
Estoy de acuerdo, pero que tal una aproximacion LDA (Desfase) O SOLO LOCALIZER... digo las aproximaciones en la aurora del radial 164 arco DME7 para ILS 01 son mas pronunciadas que Toncontin, tambien es mi punto de vista... suerte!
PheWXxx if you want to land there better star learning Spanish,the only Airlines that fly to toncontin are: American-Continental-TACA-Copa,no European Airlines lands at toncontin Airport.
Señor Spode, I might suggest to get well informed first, before you talk that crap, the war didn't have its origin on a soccer game, but because of the Salvadorian invading our territory unlawfully, and committing all sort of crimes against honduran of the country area. Because they wanted an exit to the Atlantic Sea. They even had a map showing how El Salvador might look after they "won" that territory, yeah right.
Thats because the Hill that you see in the popular AA 752 was bulldozed in the mid 1990's and this video appears to be more current. The approach is still just and interesting but less dangerous in my opinion.
"The Football War of 1969". Only third-world countries would fight over a lousy sport. Not saying it's any better or worse than fighting over a billion barrels of oiil, but ya gotta admit, it's pretty ghey.
Mel Zelaya quieren ponerle su nombre al aeropuerto de Palmerola ahora se llamara Melcontin, Mel Zelaya a sido el pero desastre que jamas le haya pasado a Honduras es peor que el huracan fifi y Mitch Juntos, el gobierno es una cloaca de corruptos y ladrones y el periodismo la carrera mas desprestigiada que existe
yo considero que la medida de cerrar TONCONTIN es un acto de TRAICION A LA PATRIA y de odio contra el pueblo hondureño. Ojala Dios se apiade de las miles de familias que quedaran sin trabajo y sustento por los caprichos de una persona inescrupulosa y mal asesorada. Dios Bendiga a Honduras y a los Buenos Hondureños.
Yo amo a mi pais y todo, pero deverian de buscar como hacer ese aeropuerto un poquito mas grande, ya casi le pasan los aviones por la cabeza a uno....
For those making negitive comments about the Honduran government I say. Go visit Honduras. It is a very poor country trying the best they can to get modern. My wife (who made the comment in spanish) comes from Tegus, Honduras. We spent 10 days in May 08 & were treated with absolute respect by everyone we met. The country is so poor people beg on the downtown street corners. If you have not been there close your mouth or be nice. They are wonderful people.
They should build another one....seriously....no wonder why that plane crash the airport is practically in a fucking hill, after the track theres a fucking cliff :P
What a shame for the government to have such as airport! they better build another one becasue we dont want more accidents to happen at this airbase as i would call it. i would never fly to TGU, its basically a suicide..
I have landed in Tegucigalpa. It is quite scary as the plane has to hug the mountains surrounding the city to make it's approach. There is a road at one end of the runway, and it has stoplights on each side of the runway. The lights turn red when a plane is landing, then as soon as the plane passes, the traffic resumes. At the other end of the runway is a cliff, so if you don't get stopped you go right off the edge.
dude whats happens is that the airport was opened like in the 1920s and since the airstrip has never been extended because there is no where to extend it, i lived there 17 years and i fear every time i land there. the government should open palmerola as the new commercial airport and build concorses and shit to make it a good airport
Was that an emergency landing and they simply HAD to stop there? Or were those people actually TRYING to go to Honduras? hahaha If for some reason I was stupid enough to live there,knowing how dangerous that airport is, I would never go anywhere! That is ridiculous. What dumb ass designed a shithole like that?
I think the official word from the Honduran government is that they're going to divert all future heavy aircraft travel from Toncontin to Palmerola, which use to be an airforce base and has an 8500ft runway.

@zero2084 nahhh i think it was a 737-300 or 737-500 it didnt have winglets which most 737-600s do

@hockeyman1119 your mistaken it was a 737-700
pilotanthony 11 months ago
@pilotanthony im not mistaken Continental has winglets on all 737-700s however they dont on 737-500 which they own
hockeyman1119 11 months ago
@hockeyman1119 you are very mistaken, this is a -700 BECAUSE: 700's back in 06 never had winglets and yes 737-500's of Continental do have winglets so you are very mistaken

you can even tell this is a 737-700 BECAUSE: if you pause it at 0:20 you can see the shape of the wing just behind the number 1 engine the wing is different to the old generation 737

It's a 737-500. Continental doesn't operate -300s or -600s.

Hace poco estuve por alla unos dias me di cuenta de que las maniobras de hay que hacerlas muy precisas y al momento del aterrizaje se tiene que subir el morro un poco mas para ayudar a los frenos aerodinamicos. Ademas que me han contado que para los pasajeros es un poco incomodo acentuar mucho los frenos a los pocos metros de tocar tierra y despues.

don't be afraid of landing in toncontin now that road donesn't exist anymore the airstrip is now larger and is still active i have landed lot of times in that airport and the accidents aren't frequent another thing no one wanted palmerola because the road to that airport is more dangerous than this airport and palmerola is like one and half hour in car, Tegucigalpa can't be whitout an airport , i it's the capital of Honduras and if you think toncontin is dangerous you must investigate more
apocaliptor1 2 years ago 3
@apocaliptor1 currently the government is working in a project of improving the road all the way from San Pedro Sula to Tegucigalpa, that means the road from Palmerola as well. I traveled the road 3 months ago and when its finished it will actually be a very good road to travel on. The only problem is that now after the military coup hapened there are no more plans to change the airport to palmerola.

i stood behind that same fence when i saw my mom leave on every of her trips, it makes me sad, but i dont think they let people do that anymore since the accident.. but yea, the landing scares the shit outta me everytime i go there, im ashamed that honduras is notorious for its dangerous airport...

I understand the feeling, honduras should be internationally reconized for its good things not for this, but some things will never change. now we are famous for the political problems. by the way I have no idea why I wrote this in english. XD

cheap ass country .. they shouldn't built an airport in between mountains so close n at least make a runway a lil longer. that shit looks like its done by someone that didnt know what he was doing.. big airplanes go fast n heavy they need some room to land.. they shouldnt allow commercial airplanes landing here..(build a safer airport cheap ass ppl)

Woah Jacobssandy, yes Honduras is dangerous because of the gangs (although only in some areas), but to say that you "would be horrified to end up there" is a little insensitive to the people that call Honduras their home don't you think. Just asking for you to be a little less judgmental. :-)

Calma, calma, solo necesitan un equipo ILS para la pista 02 y su reciproca 20, y con eso la arman, hay aeropuertos igual de peligrosos pero con esas ayudas es mas que suficiente como LA AURORA, AICM aeropuerto de la ciudad de mexico, inclusive san diego es peligroso tiene la ciudad en medio! y con ILS es suficiente, si San Pedro Sula tiene ILS porque no TONCONTIN?
hakimgn 3 years ago 2
Si de poner ILS en toncotin no creo que funcione muy bien!! el localizador el avion no lo va agarrar muy rapido!! con ese jiro que hacen tan cerrados los aviones!!
en san pedro sula ahi ILS pero ese aeropuerto
es con el mas trafico se puede decir!!
Solo di mi punto de vista!!
polako2 3 years ago
Estoy de acuerdo, pero que tal una aproximacion LDA (Desfase) O SOLO LOCALIZER... digo las aproximaciones en la aurora del radial 164 arco DME7 para ILS 01 son mas pronunciadas que Toncontin, tambien es mi punto de vista... suerte!

Señor Spode, I might suggest to get well informed first, before you talk that crap, the war didn't have its origin on a soccer game, but because of the Salvadorian invading our territory unlawfully, and committing all sort of crimes against honduran of the country area. Because they wanted an exit to the Atlantic Sea. They even had a map showing how El Salvador might look after they "won" that territory, yeah right.
Best Regards.

pkay098 3 years ago
Thats because the Hill that you see in the popular AA 752 was bulldozed in the mid 1990's and this video appears to be more current. The approach is still just and interesting but less dangerous in my opinion.

yo considero que la medida de cerrar TONCONTIN es un acto de TRAICION A LA PATRIA y de odio contra el pueblo hondureño. Ojala Dios se apiade de las miles de familias que quedaran sin trabajo y sustento por los caprichos de una persona inescrupulosa y mal asesorada. Dios Bendiga a Honduras y a los Buenos Hondureños.

For those making negitive comments about the Honduran government I say. Go visit Honduras. It is a very poor country trying the best they can to get modern. My wife (who made the comment in spanish) comes from Tegus, Honduras. We spent 10 days in May 08 & were treated with absolute respect by everyone we met. The country is so poor people beg on the downtown street corners. If you have not been there close your mouth or be nice. They are wonderful people.

alcran23 3 years ago
I have landed in Tegucigalpa. It is quite scary as the plane has to hug the mountains surrounding the city to make it's approach. There is a road at one end of the runway, and it has stoplights on each side of the runway. The lights turn red when a plane is landing, then as soon as the plane passes, the traffic resumes. At the other end of the runway is a cliff, so if you don't get stopped you go right off the edge.
jazzbassnorm 3 years ago
dude whats happens is that the airport was opened like in the 1920s and since the airstrip has never been extended because there is no where to extend it, i lived there 17 years and i fear every time i land there. the government should open palmerola as the new commercial airport and build concorses and shit to make it a good airport
rorromad16 3 years ago
Was that an emergency landing and they simply HAD to stop there? Or were those people actually TRYING to go to Honduras? hahaha If for some reason I was stupid enough to live there,knowing how dangerous that airport is, I would never go anywhere!

I think the official word from the Honduran government is that they're going to divert all future heavy aircraft travel from Toncontin to Palmerola, which use to be an airforce base and has an 8500ft runway.
