  • why are the engine valves open near the end? to let more air out to reduce speed?

  • @SynForce These are the thrust reversers. From Wikipedia "Thrust reversal is the temporary diversion of an aircraft engine's exhaust or changing of propeller pitch so that the thrust produced is directed forward, rather than aft. This acts against the forward travel of the aircraft, providing deceleration." So the engines help to slow the airplane.

  • El Douglas Dc 10 Es Que El Se Ve Desde 7:52 Hasta 7:55

  • @Mrlucazu No, MD11 from Martinair (my home country... great to see them far away from home).

  • welcome to the chibchombia

  • i love the a340's thrust reversers

  • @sdgsdgsdgsd3 THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER IS CFM

  • @lisaco1 Thank you. Was my only landing like this as well. Always from the other side.

  • @DeiizonNxp Most of the time I fly directly to Medellín nowadays and only attend Bogotá in the evening. I use Avianca now (great frequent flyer system), but always fear to miss the connection in Bogotá and have to stay in a hotel with my limited Spanish. I have never seen Bogotá except from the sky (I have a night video of a Lufthansa take off at home).

  • I like this video, and it´s amazing the landing in bogotá, it´s increible the magnitude of the airplane, it´s so big ! and is wonderful. afortunatly, that a good day in bogotá ( sometimes rain ) my beautiful city, bogotá :D !

  • Nice shot... very rare landing sights in Bogota as the pilot used the opposite direction.. less than 1% of the flights use this landing direction, flying over the city first

  • @dionsanchez24 engine manufacturer

  • what is that sign on the engine?

    

  • 8:03 that was like transformers lol
