Takeoff roll at 4:30, rotate at 5:07, off ground by 5:12 so 0:42 ground roll is actually a bit shorter compared to some larger airliners here in Denver at 5350' MSL. Runway is 11100 feet. Elevation is 10,860' MSL. Yes, the groundspeed is much higher due to very thin air. But, the skilled pilots fly by the book numbers and know it will fly at a certain airspeed. If they don't reach that by a certain point, then they abort the landing. Challenging? Yes. Lucky, no. I too have been in that seat watching outside at Cusco. The amazing part is the winding approach from Lima. (Note: The CEMIL3B approach starts at 25NM and 20,000', then at 10NM and 18,000' the pilot must start his final descent to land at 10860'. That's a descent of 7,140' in 10 NM at a no wind groundspeed of perhaps 180 knots!)
It is not true: Cuzco airport has more than 50 flights dayly from 6 AM to 11 PM, besides there are some delays, but nota to much. Tus is an safe airport
The main problem is not the reduced lift due to thinner air, on the other hand there is also less drag. the main problem of such high altitude is that the jet engine gets most of its air (fuel oxidizer) from the speed of the turbine, but at higher altitudes needs to get a lot from ram air injection. Ram air injection only occurs at high speeds, so at take off the engine's full power cannot be realized.
Son solamente 700 m. El aeropuerto está sobre los 3300. Las montañas alrededor están a 4000-4400 m de altura sobre el nivel del mar,no sobre el nivel del aeropuerto.
En líneas generales: Cusco a 3,400 m.s.n.m. y las montañas más altas a 4,400 m.s.n.m. Son 1,000m. de altura que tienen las montañas sobre el nivel del suelo en Cusco. Es imposible superar más de 14,000 pies de altura en tan corto tramo. Rectificar en el video.
Jet engines run at 60,000 ft. I don't think much about a take off at 10k. There's less lift I Believe because density of air. But I've taken off from NM airport at 6k a thousand times and never sweat anything. Therefore I would think it's any big deal at Cusco Intl

Very detailed and informative video!

Realmente que hermosas vistas, hermosos video!
I live in cuzco
I envy you! I'd like to live there too :)

Demasiado cierto😊

Hay vuelos nocturnos también. 🙋🏻♂️🇵🇪
Get over yourself lady you weren’t “lucky” that was a regular take off

Lol you were lucky? Ok
