Narrative:
This was my first flight to bogota. In preparation for the flight; I watched the airport familiarization video; read the jeppesen airport pages for bogota; and highlighted the appropriate hi-lo charts for the route to be flown. My approximate time in this aircraft is 150 hours. The captain was the pilot flying. During the cruise portion of our flight; the captain and I discussed in detail the descent into bogota; the terrain surrounding the airport; the approach itself and the current weather. The engine failure/missed approach procedure was also reviewed and loaded into the secondary flight plan as per the jeppesen pages. As we began our descent the captain was viewing the radar on his nd and terrain was being displayed on my nd. Bogota approach issued a late descent to 12000 feet; and asked us to slow to 210 kts until 5 miles from the bog VOR. At this time we were cleared for the ILS 13R approach. I did not notice 10000 feet being set in the altitude window. The aircraft had not reached the bog VOR; my scan was alternating from inside the flight deck to outside because the aircraft had entered VFR conditions and I had the airport in sight. At this time bogota approach asked us our altitude. It was 11000 feet. Approach said we needed to remain at 12000 feet until the bog VOR. At this time we had a 'terrain and pull up' aural. In response to this; the captain added thrust and climbed the aircraft. I noticed the radar altimeter read 1700 feet; at no time did I notice any red indications displayed on my nd. We then intercepted the glide slope and landed on 13R.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: Air Carrier flight crew describes the circumstances causing a descent below assigned altitude prior to the BOG VOR during ILS to Runway 13R at SKBO. The flying Captain had set 10;000 feet in the MCP window thinking that BOG VOR had been passed; without obtaining the First Officer's confirmation. ATC alerts at the same time a terrain warning sounds.
