The conversation is in Spanish and by the accent it seems to be the Andes region, this looks like a training flight for the F/O, I couldn't make the call sign when the captain got on the radio after the landing though. Airlines flying in those parts operate these turboprops into airports that would make the average pilot uncomfortable for sure, thus they regularly train to the edge of what the A/C is capable to do and you need a sign off into these airports (I use the term airports loosely) some of these remote places are only accessible efficiently by air or by several hours of very dangerous driving conditions, pilots flying Into these places train accordingly. You might agree or disagree, but the conversation on this and many other pilot sites is always about how the stick and rudder skills are being lost, well, some of these airports need training in nothing but stick and rudder skills to be able to operate in and out off. Something to think about before you place these folks into the irresponsible dare devils column.
