You’re probably the most informative KZhead pilot on KZhead. Thanks for the ride.
Wow, thanks!
definitely one of the best pilots I am watching on KZhead.
totally agree love this guy
Yes he is an awesome pilot ✈ Blancolirio Chanel [ Juan Browne } is a great pilot as well ! Juan is very informative about all aspects of flying , training, and accident analysis! 👀
@@toolnuts7777 haha that is the second channel I am always watching especially since I found him when Kobe (RIP) died and he explained it well what happened to a non pilot.
I can just hear my instructor, "so, when this bad idea becomes apparent, what is our exit plan?" Great job explaining the thought process. Always fun to watch an IRL demonstration of 💩 hitting the fan.
Mine also used to remind me regularly that "Take offs are optional, landings are mandatory. If you're in any doubt, don't take off "
@mattyb7736 they have never gotten stuck up there, that is for sure.
Honestly is there anyone in Papua new guinea who's a native who's out there flying much less instrument approaches in a GA plane? Is this how air traffic works in Papua new guinea? Your talking like your in the US, even saying the aiporrt name + traffic. Is that how it works in other countries too?
@@davidt8087So it is mostly international standard. If you look up ICAO it explains a lot. This is a super complex to sum up in a chat, but since the founding of aviation the world has looked to keep it standardized, commonly safe and available... as available as it can be anyway. The radio telephony can be a bit more diverse, but still relatively in line with a common standard.
Great video - Just had one point, I know you had the seatbelt round it but I've heard some bad stories of life rafts being carried in the front seat, if they deploy accidentally for some reason they inflate and ram the yoke into a full nose down, with no hope of recovery. Stay safe!
Oh 😳 never heard about that before. Maybe I'll start putting it behind the front seat
You have a point
@@MissionaryBushPilot Or carry a bloody great knife!
Ryan you are such a professional pilot with superb airmanship skills - I'm really envious of all that glass! I was a round dial and paper chart pilot.
Not sure I'd be shooting an approach to minimums with steam gauges and a paper chart here in PNG. I love the situational awareness the G1000 give you
Excellent job Ryan. I was totally there with you during the fight, approach procedure and landing. Bravo!
Whatever you're paid, it's not enough! Safe flying, Ryan.
I'm pretty sure he has to raise his "pay" from people who support his mission. Missionary pilots aren't paid employees. 😉
Hi Ryan, would request for your email address if it is ohk with you. Got some important things to discuss with you.
The experience of piloting a modern nicely equipped turbo-prop jet airplane is enough "pay" for most men who love to fly airplanes😇. @@futuremissionarypilotsmech7486
@@futuremissionarypilotsmech7486 Wow, I didn't know that. In that case, I hope more people support his mission 🙂
The mirror in your life vest is called a heliograph and is a fantastic location aid if there is sunshine.
Professionally done. Challenging, but within safety margins and always with a back-up plan. 👍
Different flight rules for almost everything.
I'm not a pilot but am the captain of a sailboat, so I appreciate the navigational skills required for IFR and VFR, especially living here in S.E. Alaska. We have some amazing bush pilots who can drop you into a mountain lake, flying a Cessna 206 on floats! Plus, the Alaska Airlines pilots are simply the best! I like how you talk your approaches out, out loud, as well as your preflight check list. I watch the channel for 'Pilot Debrief' and he has mentioned the need to not only do the preflight check list, but to also say it out loud as the pilot is going thru it prior to flight. Thanks for the good flight and entertaining content...
Alaska Airlines pilots are the best? What you base that on?
Like videos very informative, I think indigenous Papua New Guinean living in outskirts rural villages in the mountain terrains,valleys,plateaus,surely by now the people you've help knows you personally by name,your service has helped us PNG. God bless you and your family...keep your videos coming. Trupla Pilot ,Thumbs up!
The equipment you have for this flight is great. Back in the day, we did all of this, sans instrument approach and IFR operations and no radar, no autopilot, etc. This is normal ops, every day, in the life of any professional pilot around the world.
Thank you for recording this adventure. It really was a great example of keeping your head when things don't go the way you want. Your planning made the dynamic situations manageable, and your readiness to call a miss kept you in control to give your planning a chance to play out. Great video!
Great flight. You have excellent skills and great discernment. Glad you made it safely to your destination. 🙏
Scary but cool . I'm a VFR 172 amateur and really admire what you do. You would not survive long in your environment without total professionalism on every flight and you demonstrate that in spades. Thanks for the great video.
Same here. 300 hour 172 and PA-28 "pilot" here, and I've only ever flown in nice VFR. I took a night instrument lesson once, and I said, "Yep, I'll end up dead if I keep doing this." One and done. Scary stuff. Far cry from flight simulator.
Wow, Captain! That was amazing. That could not have been comfortable 😬 Well played, Sir! 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Awesome seeing an approach with a missed. Gotta stay cool and just follow the charts. 😊 bravo sir! Clear skies! I’ll be ordering more stuff from your site this week.
I follow your videos on KZhead. I am a pilot. Was a Cadet Pilot with Air Niugini under the scholarship scheme program, however did further the training and hence funded my training in Sydney. Due to funding, I was not able to complete my CPL and MECIR. Funding has been and issue and now I am 35years old with two kids, 6 and 3, but I still have this dream to one day fly the skies of PNG. Your videos are a big motivation for me. Keep the videos coming. Cheers.
That looked easy... sat here in my arm chair! Great video and thumbs up to a real professional.
Well done Ryan. Thank you.❤
“I see the runway” 🍜 that’s some dang good eyeballs!
Beautiful Approach and Landing MBP. Way to maintain your cool and patience and not rushing it. Great departure planning too with the addition of extra fuel.
Thanks for sharing the challenging flight through clouds and rain. Glad everything went perfectly and you landed safely.😁
Calm cool and collected. Another day in the office for this absolute legend! Love watching your videos.
Thanks for the flight Ryan, great view, great info, super quality, as always.
earned your pay on THAT one. Great job, Thanks for posting and keep 'em coming.
What a great video. So much detail and information provided that it makes me feel like I’m right there in the right seat! Beautiful landing!!
Love the way you constantly talk us thru your every move! Best pilot videos ever!
Very intense shooting an approach over water. You made it look easy for sure. Thanks Ryan.
It's more intense shooting an approach over land. Actually he was hamming it up a bit for the audience as the weather wasn't that bad.
What a great pilot. Good work. hopefully narration does not distract you from flying but it's a joy to watch you work. Thank you for the video
Hi from the UK. Fantastic stuff. Your videos makes me a safer pilot. I always learn something. Thank you for posting.
The Caravan is one of the most stable planes I've flown in MSFS. Beautiful machine, great views! Stay safe.
Can't deny that. 👍But i think the one he's flying is a Daher Kodiak 100 :)
I just looked it up & naa. He has that bulky load/tank thing on the bottom. & i think he stated that a Cessna Caravan was his plane in another vid. But we'll see if he replies! @@buddy261983
I am a flying enthusiast and have flown few aircrafts for fun. But I learn a lot from you. You have taught many people many things in piloting world. Forgot to mention …Your flying skills are raw. I've been following you for ages since you started your KZhead channel. I have watched almost all your videos' since the beginning of it. I must say , you have unique way of expressing thing. Your attention to details when it comes to aircraft/flightpath/cargo and the delivery are impeccable. Moreover you share information's that are new to many and your videography skills allowing the world to see what you do is uncommendable. You are a great youtuber even while piloting. Cheers! from Dubai
Love this video! I've flown IFR in the soup before in real life but doing that in PNG with all its rugged terrain would be something else. Well done eventually making it down.
Great video and example of how to fly the approach and be ready to try again so you don't force. Thanks for the learning opportunity!
My friend, that was an awesome landing considering the weather. You quite a pilot, sir! Love watching you as I love flying and that would have very cool. Fortunately, the landing strip was visible when you needed it! Take care mate!
You just Rock. Tks for bringing the word Real into your pilot skills. Crazy well done and a wow
Inspiring. Can’t believe how calm you remained in such a stressful situation. Epic
¡Gracias!
Thanks Ryan. I absolutely love your content - its really informative and inspiring. What you do is incredible, challenging and clearly very dangerous but you have a very calm and professional demeanour. You must have one of the most rewarding jobs I can imagine. Best wishes to you, safe flight and I look forward to following your adventures.
Major nerves of steel. What a talented pilot D#MN! everytime impressive
I’m one of many, who as a child wanted to be a pilot, now at 54 I know I could never do what you have demonstrated. Courage and commitment to safety at every point. I was digging fingers into my iPad. (Nervous flyer).
Love your technical details of shooting an approach.
I'm a serious sim pilot with a G-1000 which I love! Great watching your wonderful videos. Thanks for doing them! Blue skies up (when you can see them)!
Very well flown and excellent decision skills from a well trained experienced pilot. Setting a great example especially for younger pilots building time. Well done Ryan 🇦🇺✈️
Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed watching you shooting that low approach in IMC.
Hi Ryan, really enjoyed this trip, edge of seat stuff, I am a retired old school of round dials and paper charts etc, working like a one arm paper hanger, the gear you have onboard is essential for single pilot opps in PNG, I had some friends flying there back in the day and the stories would make your hair stand on end, please keep up the vid's and be safe.😅
You did not appear to be stressed to me at all. You were calm and very professional
I'm from PNG and very much appreciate your service there. God bless you and your family.
What god ?
@@SunofYorkDoes it matter?
@@jeremybillingham Whether god exists or not is hugely important. Some of those who say yes, fly planes into buildings to punish other 'yes' sayers. Some yes sayers tell young women they should be kept in a dark cellar away from the eyes of decent chritians. My mother said that to my daughter and almost caused a miscarriage. Yes it matters.
I remember the instrument displays on the PanAm clipper in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey. And here we are. Great landing
Keeping you in my prayers, Ryan. I sure hope you stayed there and came back in some good weather.
I'm a 60 hour student pilot about to sit my PPL in Australia. Your a huge inspiration. I have learned so much from your vids - I aim to be as profeciant as a pilot like yourself one day. Much respect
Dave from Brisbane, Australia. here. I am an ex-Flight instructor. Good luck with your flying. . No need for me to tell you use a checklist all the time and keep away from cloud. It’s a killer
Amazingly flown approach Ryan. I love your videos. Great job.
Flying IFR in the US is so much easier. God bless you for all you do. Thanks for another great lesson.
Pretty much the same but more difficult in the states.
Legend! Cool, calm and collected.
Well done Ryan! You are the embodiment of a safe pilot. GA and even Commercial pilots take note! Do what Ryan does and stay safe stay alive! Bravo Ryan!
What a wise, astute, prepared, pilot with a great head on his shoulders...a true aviator.
Great stuff for sure!! Great for we simmers to see preparation and execution!!
It is awesome how you explain everything so well. Appreciate it
Congratulations. This is some IMC and you handled it with calm and confidence.
"Skudgy" weather. Great description! 🙂 Wow! That was a stressful approach. Well done!
That was cool about the contents of your vest and the raft over water regs.
Hello from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia....Fantastic Instrument Approach and landing in such terrible weather.....awesome.
Thx for showing us a challenging real world situation. As an ultralight pilot, skydiver and scuba diver I congratulate how you exemplify professionalism and confidence earned through training and adherence to procedures.
Excelent Flight, Very educational. Many thanks for all the information and videos.
Great job! You kept under control and stayed in the pocket of flying the plane.
Excellent !!! Your preflight before flying your wing's is outstanding.
Great video. I remember flying into Hoskins many times when I was based in Tokua. We never was able to ger the weather back in the 90s, so would take plenty of fuel
Good explanations as always thanks Ryan 😃👍
Well done thanks take care.
Bravo, Ryan. Congratulations on handling that very soupy approach!
That was FOR REAL!! Thanks for sharing.
Well done !
Always an absolute pleasure catching up with your videos Ryan. Brilliant landing.
Nice work my man! That’s how you IFR a Aircraft. Hats of to you. That was a note worthy performance to a rookie like me.. right on!
Good insight on flying in treacherous weather. Always learning on this channel.
“My most stressful landing” bros face the entire time: 😐
Thanks again Ryan. Talk about earning your keep. Well done. :-)
Great example, doesn’t get any more informative than this. Well done again.👌🏼
Appreciate the editing. It catches the attention. Makes it a pleasant viewing experience
Thanks......
Great flight and most of all great decision making. To many pilots thinking they can make it if they just go a bit lower, calling missed was the right call. Friends of mine are in PNG so thanks for serving the community's out there safely
Great job Mate! That was awesome thanks for sharing it.
Excellent ride along. Thanks!
Nice job and the decision management.
Awesome IFR in IMC Flight Video...Thank you.
There are some pretty atolls down there!😍
I remember flying into Mt Hagen and out from Mendi in the Southern Highlands in 1978. The major hazard for pilots then was what they called Cumulus Granitus. Some big hills up there.
Those kodiaks are built in my town - we get to see them test fly pretty often. Great machines (so i've heard) and they employ a ton of people with good wage jobs. Great flying. Mad props 😅😅
It may have been challenging but you were calm and collected and made the landing look easy in awful weather.
Wow! I watched a real thriller! And learned a lot about IFR! Thank you so much!
student pilot here. very informative and entertaining video !!! thanks a bunch !!
Thanks 😊
Well done!!!
Brilliant
That’s How it’s done and you did a awesome iFR approach to land
Congrats!!!!
I learn so much from you. Great flying. Thank you.
Outstanding commentary and superb touchdown! It just does not get any better.
Awesome
Dude, that's when skill makes all the difference! WOW!
