Just a couple of things about Bogotá. Plan on holding, it is not a bad as it used to be before the new runway was opened, but still be ready to be placed in a holding patten during the busy part of the day.

If the same people Universal used in the past are still providing services at SKBO you will have very good fast turn around.

And lastly, check your performance charts, as SKBO does sit in a valley with a very high elevation; 8361 feet/2548 meters. Also some of the standard departures routes require a steep climb gradient. You need to review them as well.

With a few exceptions ATC English is very good, however, the exceptions can be nearly impossible to understand.

Have a good trip.
