GOL Transportes Aereos, launched in January 2001 as the first low-fare airline in Brazil, is the fastest growing airline in South America. GOL is also the largest operator of the Next Generation Boeing 737 in Latin America. The airline operates both the 700 and 800 version of the aircraft on routes across Brazil.

 

After an introduction to GOL and a look "behind the scenes" we follow a crew on a 4-day trip across Brazil in the cockpit of the B737-700 including several approaches and landings at the very scenic Santos Dumont Airport located in Rio. We complete the program with a day on the B737-800 from Sao Paulo to Porto Alegre with stopovers in Florianopolis.

Congratulations for this amazing DVD, I strongly recommend it. Hope WAR team releases a second DVD showing the Latin America flights operated by GOL. Please give us more Brazilian airliners!  Andrea Martiny, BRAZIL

Took me a while getting around to watch this one, I do own close to 50 WAR DVD's now. Talk about bang for the buck. This DVD is all short flights and is full of constant action. I don't think a minute goes by where the crew isn't busy. I love the way Cpt. Telmo doesn't make much use of VNAV, the flights are too short. He uses the autopilot right down to finals with his quick fingers on that HDG & V/S wheel! And this DVD has as many take off and landings you could shake a stick at! If your an NG fan (I am nuts about them) this DVD is a must have. Great job WAR team!  Allan Stiff, CANADA

Congrats for the GOL DVD, it worth each cent spent!  Matheus Barbosa, BRAZIL

Really a very beutiful and detailed dvd. You can feel all sensations fo the flights.!  Luis Leite, BRAZIL

Awesome. Really nice scenery and aircraft. Good explanation of systems and overview of the company. Highly recommended to anyone interested in the 737 aircraft and it's operations.  Roberto Ladeira, BRAZIL

That´s one of the best DVDs I ever seen, I bought when I was in the US, now I really want the worldairroutes team to shoot another brazilian airlines, like TAM, VASP, of Varig again. Thanks for this great job.  Leonardo Maciel Vieira, BRAZIL

Grab a bowl of popcorn, pull up a chair and enjoy, this is by far one of the best DVD's that I have seen. The presentation of the 737NG is outstanding as well as the approach briefings. By far this is a keeper.  David Dillon, USA

This is one of the best DVDs of my collection. Wonderful visual approachs in very short runways, show how good a pilot shoud be to fly in Brazil. Great job!!  Renato Da Silva, BRAZIL

I only have great commnents, for people who are fans of the Boeing 737NG this is the dvd. A lot of great landings and take off in different cities, a lot of short runways and beautiful places. Great sound and image quality.  Hernan Guerrero, CHILE

This DVD is amazing. Here in Brazil we are very happy with this initiative, we hope to see another Brazilian Company.

I highly recommend the GOL program program. It is loaded with great shots of Rio Santos Dumont airport from all angles. The DVD also has great cockpit action including presentations and briefings by the pilots. Along with the nice flights from in the cabin, the behind the scenes demonstration of the GOL website and the scheduling/operations software was great to see. Great work guys!!  Amy Bubash, USA

I consider this the best DVD I ´ve seen from Just Planes. It takes you to the main cities of Brazil. It´s nice to see the traffic in Congonhas, a visual short approach in Curitiba, many landings in Rio, wipers working hard in a rainy approach in Navegantes, beautifull flight attendants etc.. It´s full of wonderfull flights !! Parabéns Just Planes !!  M. O., BRAZIL

I would like to thanks Just Planes for the Gol dvd. Congratulation for the production, the Dvd has an amazing quality of audio and video. Thank you very much.  Evaristo Neto, BRAZIL

Worldairroutes has really SCORED with GOL. This dvd is done extremely well with excellent views of both the 737-700/800 cockpit and the beautiful Brazilian scenary.  Landing at Rio's aircraft-carrier-like Santos Dumont airport is quite an exciting experience with great mountain and beach views. Landings at Navegantes and Vitoria are also memorable with interesting and scenic approaches. Jan Mogren does an excellent job of filming with crystal-clear ATC communications and wonderful views from directly over the Captain's right shoulder - I felt like I was flying the aircraft. GOL is a very dynamic airline and I look forward to flying GOL and visiting beautiful Brazil one day soon. Thanks for another great dvd!

Brian Gustason, USA

It was quite unusual that the program began without any 'welcome message' from the crew. Planes are seen holding short, taking off and landing at the infamous runway 35L at Congonhas airport. Twenty five minutes later, viewers are introduced into the GOL flight center to understand how the company operates. Aside from landing at short runways, pilots also perform challenging non-precision approaches and landings in bad weather. Real live birds are observed on the runways in several occassions. Later on in the program, beautiful and charming flight attendants are seen serving refreshments for passengers. What I liked most is the NDB approach to SDU as runway 20L is dangerously short, with a high terrain up ahead and located in between water. The overhead panel presentation was an additional feature, although it was not explained thoroughly.

This program has excellent video and audio quality with clear ATC communications, great images of the scenery around Brazil. Unfortunately, as the flights are short in duration, the pilots are constantly busy which leaves them less time to explain about cockpit preparations and procedures that take place. The Lauda 737NG series is a better production. In my humble opinion, I would rate this DVD at 3/5 stars.   Roy Joven Benzonan, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
