Autorizado a aterrizar / Cleared to land

This is the light path generated from an airplane during landing with a long exposure shot. The lights on the left are called "Approach Lightning System (ALS)", during an instrument approach procedure, the pilot uses them to align the airplane with the center of the runway.
Great informative photo, it looks like the pilot made a steady descent.

I am curious about the three lines (two white and one dotted colours) in the sky. I hope that the pilot is not as confused as I am. Beautiful composition as always.

This is too cool, love the light trail from the airplane, very different twist to typical light trails.

@countrylassie thank you very much. These guys even handle with much care the plane during landing. There is a kind of proverb that says : if you can see your movements on stick, you're doing wrong ;)
@joansmor thank you very much. i'm sure that in your city there are nice night landscapes to discover ;)
@yaorenliu thank you very much. The two white lights are the plane landing lights on wing's edges, the blinking white/red are beacon lights wich highlight airplane in low visibility conditions or advice grown crew when pilot is about to start up engines.
@ladygator thank you very much. Yes, taking a long expossure shot of an airplane is another kind of light painting :)
@altadc thank you very much
@roseolivia thank you very much
@sangwann thank you very much. It was a windy and so cold afternoon but it was worth :)
