They Built a RUNWAY in the Clouds
A new runway has been opened, but the locals aren't satisfied with just being visited by the Pilatus Porter. See how they are making way for a Cessna Caravan to one day land at this runway in the clouds.

A Bush Pilot's Day
Просмотров 85 тыс.Год назад
This is what a typical day looks like for a pilot in Papua. Watch me try to keep it together when I can't get a straight answer from anyone in the village. 🙈 Runways featured are: Sentani Bomela Wamena Pipal Tanggeam
It's just a few clouds

If the weather is good, we go! But sometimes the weather reports in Papua, Indonesia, aren't always that reliable. This video was filmed over a week as multiple attempts were made to get one plane-load of cargo delivered from Dekai to Wipon. Every RTB (return to base) is a loss for the airline so we try our best to make sure the weather is good before we depart, but sometimes you just can't win!

This is the first flight to Laryi, a new airstrip in Papua, Indonesia. The runway is less than 1,000 feet (300 meters) long, curved, and situated on a narrow ridgeline at above 6,500 feet. The people of Laryi have been asking for a pilot to open the runway for months, and it just so happens, that I am in the area...

Steep, wet, and short... A classic Porter runway
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.3 года назад
Doing some circuits at the runway in Samenage. This airstrip in Central Papua, Indonesia is typical for the region. Though long for a Pilatus Porter (over 350 meters) it has several things that make it challenging, like multiple pitch changes, mud, unclear runway edges, and weather that can produce strong winds and clouds that can move in quickly.

Whale Sharks of Papua

Whale sharks are common in the fishing areas off the coast of Nabire, Papua. They hang around the boats and fishing platforms looking for a snack. Getting to swim alongside them was a special privilege.

    Being someone born in Malaysia , I could understand the Indonesian language they are speaking and it made me feel connected to these people and the pilot actually communicated pretty well.

    They need to slow down the hokey pokey at night-if they keep it up it will require more than that plane to sustain them.

    Have you tried the airstrip at Fane village in the Goilala District of Central Province, PNG? The runway gradient is about more than 5%, i think?

    The controls of the PC-6 are a bit weird - how did you get used to the yoke being low under the dashboard? I also could imagine that for a right handed person this could be a challenge. Some other controls are also strange, like the funny parking brake wire thingie and the tail lock low to the left on the pilot's seat. I guess one can get used to almost anything! :-) I enjoy your videos very much, thank you for sharing!

    Just wondering about the location of this airstrip? Thinking of adding it to Microsoft Flight Simulator. So far my best guess is -4.641086, 139.977371 near Bomela, where there is a village labelled Larye, and the topography looks fairly similar. Satellite imagery shows a runway there which looks somewhat similar...

      Yup, a frontier flying service like this operated by Christian missionary aviation services although funded mostly by the Indonesian govt. Most Christian in Papua are evangelical Christians.

    tell them to put up a wind sock, a flag or just a white shirt on a stick to show wind direction on the run way...or they'll see their first plane crash.

    One hell of a cool adventure! Hardly anyone on the planet can say they've done this! The plane looks like it is rather rugged and built for hard use. I live in Alaska and have flown on float planes and bush planes so I understand the adventure it is to fly into remote locations on small but capable aircraft!
