This is a TAP (Air Portugal) Airbus 310-300 in Lisbon. The Chief pilot was at the controls. I landed there not too long after this video was taken last summer and I was handled by a TAP mechanic. He explained to me that the airport is 300 feet AMSL and that right off the far end of the runway, the terrain slopes down steeply toward the bay which is just a short distance away. From where the cameraman stood, it looked like the A-310 was much closer to the ground when he banked away because he had not yet climbed away, but the ground had lowered below him. He was low, but no where as low as the video lets you think. That low downwind leg was over the ocean which cannot be seen in the video.
