This is definitely a "must see" DVD. The procedures required to operate an aircraft into and out of high altitude airports, are well described by the crew and wonderfully filmed. And two high altitude airports (La Paz and Quito) in a row! I am still out of breath. 99% of the DVD is "eyes in the cockpit" which is great. A glimpse at terrain only 1000 below while "levelling off" at FL230 during an approach procedure, can easily be excused. Great video.  Roberto Stopnicki, CANADA
