I've been watching your videos for a while now. As part of my responsibilities as a military pilot of 37 years experience I was a human factors and CRM instructor/examiner so this particular flight caught my attention for several reasons.
1. I haven't been there for two years.
2. I thought I was going to slide off the end last time.
3. The weather is perfect
4. At time 12:15 you acknowledged the weather wasn’t as expected and you had to change the plan to get into the strip. However, that said that at time 12:19 you stated” I always do”
Having lost friends to overconfidence combined with complacency your comments had the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I know you are a very capable operator Ryan so please take my concerns on today's flight the way they are meant, a self check every now and then to keep you safe. God speed and continue doing a fantastic job.
thanks for your input
Please don't be too pedantic, bush flying is very different to military flying. This is a RUclips channel so the language is often a little loose. Having followed Ryan's channel for years I've come to realise how serious and safe he is as a pilot. He doesn't take risks other than those you have to in PNG where if you wait for risk free conditions then you'll never get anything done. As a military pilot I'm sure you know that. Ryan operates in a very different world to the military but he flies in a very safe way - he wants to stay alive! Ryan is a very proven "Scud Runner" - he's a master at getiing around, through or under cloud which I guess isn't in the Fast Jet Training manual. I only do flight simmulation but over the years I have found that Ryan's techniques really work when flying in tight mountainous terrain with cloud in PNG. It's a unique environment and personally I don't think you can apply military standards to it. Military pilots are specialists - but so are bush pilots - they operate in a different world.
The airstrip definitely has a lot of standing water. I enjoy seeing the cloud layers in the PNG mountains. Awesome video again, thank you Ryan
My uncle Werner once slid off the end of a runway after a rainfall. Somewhere I have a picture of the plane sitting at an angle. The people in the village managed to push it back up the hill.
Crazy
Great flight! Definitely not for the faint hearted. Good training to know when to abort the landing. Thanks for sharing! 🙏
love that you're still making videos mate. my 9 year olds and myself love watching you fly over the jungles. A real adventure each time
One thing about a muddy runway is that on take off one can hear and feel the mud falling off the wheels, which is great.
I love your videos. You never fail to impress with your flying skills and knowledge.
I appreciate that!
I love listening to your decision making, so accomplished and professional. Every video is amazing to view 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm drawing my hat, that's airmanship in a perfect way. God bless you Ryan
Thank you
Great landing in the mud Ryan,keep up the great flying see ya on the next video see ya bye.
Great approach and landing.
Thx Ryan
Nice video, thx for the window into the uncertain/challenging terrain and weather you have to deal with. When the original plan didnt work out you made decisions based on current observations. You know the limits and seemed willing to abort if unsafe.
Never a dull moment keeps the brain ticking
A wonderful display of calm, controlled circuit flying at Malamaunda combined with excellent decision making regarding the conditions. When you entered the circuit the low cloud in all the valleys looked very discouraging but your years of cloud craft prevailed for an impressive landing. That short final is really quite tricky - that little ridge as you turn onto centre line I find quite disruptive - I think your approach is a little higher than mine but the your skills are always going to make things look easier! On top of that I find Malamaunda airstrip difficult to spot as you fly around it. Another fascinating video - thanks Ryan.
a white knuckle flight that Ryan made look easy
Great flight!
I liked the opportunity to watch a Kodiak take off from a camera that is on the ground.
That will be one dirty bird after that flight. Cheers from Winnipeg.
Thanks for the ride
Another exciting landing! Reminds me of landing my Cardinal at Falwell Airport in Lynchburg VA. It has a significant ski slope runway thats paved, but still a thrill landing uphill & keeping enough momentum to arrive at the top! Not as challenging as your strip though. Nice job!
You gave it 2 go arounds to ensure your safe landing. Nicely done! 💖🌞👑✝️😃
Thank you for the video 🙏
Cheers Ryan, Another great flight. :-)
Thanks for watching
thanks great job and good luck
I enjoy watching your videos.
I have surfshark, works well.
Thanks.....
Nice flight, great job !
wow. your a champ
You werent kidding when you said it was a short final, and just to make it a little more interesting hazy clouds just on turning, did u cut the corner or am i mistaken, i even felt a little tension there, nicely done tho Ryan Cheers n Stay Well
There was tension there but the forward planning and organization Ryan applies makes it possible. Don't think the corner was cut turning onto final - from my simming experience and watching the videos I thought Ryan actually went further to the right as the hole in the cloud there was bigger and would give him a little more time to get established on final.
Yes I did shorten it even more than I usually do because of the clouds
I noticed when the air traffic controller was talking about the twin otter coming to Hagen, subtitles said it was from “Fadadiwa”. I think he said “Frieda River”, where they are trying to build a gold/copper mine. It’s near where I used to live.
I notice that in a lot of videos, the subtitles don't always match the speech. I have been horrified by some of the mistranslations on some videos, like geopolitical videos. If you're listening and reading you catch it but if you silently read your videos you may be in trouble.
Yes, Fadidawa completely through me too - couldn't find it anywhere. The pronunciation/spelling in PNG seems to be "quite loose and varried" so you may well be right about Frieda River as I too have heard about attempts to mine gold there - a slightly bigger aircraft like a Twin Otter would make sense and they could take the Baiyer Gap on the way to Mount Hagen. There was also a mention of a Caravan leaving Hagen heading to "Ram" - which I couldn't find either. Turns out there is a small airstrip north of Hagen called "Rum" - it seems pronunciation and sub-titles transcripts are quite subjective.
@@stevekirk8546 It definitely was Freida River. I used to live near there so I’m used to hearing it in the PNG accent.
@@paullackey8813 Thanks for that - there is so much to learn about PNG - it's a world apart with isolated tribes but also industrial natural resource development.
Have enjoyed your videos for years, also enjoying the book which arrived early in the year … Aitape resident “many years”ago and a total png fan.
I notice a Fletcher or similar bent wing plane parked in the background often at your Goroka exits ?? Would much appreciate the planes tail rego number if possible ? Thanks & go well
Was that one of the closest random crossings you've had? I experience what I feel is similar cycling on back country roads. I can ride for 10km and not see a vehicle, then a vehicle comes from ahead and behind me at the same time and we literally all cross paths at the same time. This happens less "randomly" than I would ever imagine. Some kind of gravity situation or something pulling all the masses together at one point.
I've had closer before. It is always wild though when that happens
Not a random crossing I think as the lady at Moresby ATC anticipated the proximity potential between the two aircraft, made sure of the vertical seperation and that both pilots were aware of it. Quite impessive without radar support.
Sorts the men out from the boys!
I have seen your videos show up in my feed for years as I follow Jonas, Trent, Mike Patey, 74pilot, etc but I never clicked on any of your videos as I incorrectly assumed the "religious" content would not interest me. (Guess I fullfilled my part of "ass"ume)
So glad that one of your thumbnails (don't remember which) caught my attention a few weeks ago. I REALLY enjoy your content.
Just got your e-course last week and I really like it. (Buddy Box was out of stock 😢).
Will join in the near future and start using some of your FP.
Even in the Sim World PNG is Beautiful.
Glad you finally clicked on one, and glad to hear it exceeded your expectations
"The rain doesn't BEAD off..." gotta really pronounce that one. lol
This is "Truth seeker" from my other RUclips channel, again very informative and enjoyable viewing of this flight.
How did they carve out all these small air strips in the mountains. By hand or was someone able to airlift in small equipment in my helicopter?
Hoi Ryan,
A few questions: why does your organisation fly Kodiaks? Why not the Pilatus Porter, or bush Cessnas? I am sure you have good reasons, I just want to know. How do the Pilatus Porter and Cessna compare to the Kodiak? And what about a DHC-2 Beaver, would that be suitable? Or twin-engined planes like the Dornier that are often used in Nepal in Lukla?
Could a DC-3 land on those short PNG-runways? It is a real bush plane too: abused in the harshest, coldest and hottest environments in polar regions, equatorial jungles, mountains, deserts, and in numerous wars. Still flying after 80 years.
Another question: during landing, when in reverse pitch for breaking, does the Kodiak pull to the right or left? Can you keep good directional control with the rudder and front gear on slippery or muddy runways? This seems to be a weak point of taildragger bush planes?
Also, when you raise or lower flaps, does the plane pitch up or down? What when you suddenly add or reduce power? What aerodynamic effects do these have on pitch and roll?
Is there a reason for the relative small wheels on the Kodiak? Why not mount much bigger wheels for this sort of rough runways? Or would that cause too much drag or other issues?
Maybe you could explain these questions in a future video, during a calm moment in flight? I think a lot of viewers and real or sim pilots will be interested in such technical aspects of bush flying.
Anyway, thanks for the beautiful videos.
Interesting observations. I'll try and make some less than expert replies based purely on my four years of watching Ryan's channel, my flight simm experience in PNG and background aviation knowledge.
The Kodiak is particularly well suited to the short mountain bush strips they fly to. The Caravan is heavier than the Kodiak and they can't land on some on the softer strips that Ethnos Aviation service. The Twin Otter is a fine bush aircraft - I use it in my simmulation flights in PNG because I don't have access to a good Kodiak model, but I would rather fly the Kodiak given the chance - I manage with the Otter most of the time but it is only simmulation and the Otter is a bit big for these small mountain airstrips. The small wheels on the Kodiak are fine as they almost always land on a prepared surface of some sort (the quality varies enormously) so bush tyres really aren't needed so why incurr the extra expense of fitting them. The DC-3 was and still is a great bush plane and it operated in WW2 and afterwards in PNG doing great work but in my opinion there is absolutely no chance they could get into airstrips like Yawan and Gema to mention but two. I certainly wouldn't want to take a tail dragger into those places!
borderline going to buy a buddy system just for my daily life.
Probably would be helpful 😉
Somebody help the non airplane guy…what part of a car am I looking at 1:11?
Part of the PT6 gas turbine engine I reckon.
I notice that you talk with ATC giving them "time to" location, Also I notice they don't tell you to squawk VFR. I am guessing ATC doesn't see you on radar? Way different than in the States, LOL
There is no radar in PNG except for Port Moresby
Oh very different! The lady on Moresby ATC was very clear in giving Ryan as much information as she could about where Twin Otter KSO was tracking as whilst she had no radar support she obviously knew there was a proximity issue with KSO and Ryan and his amazing video clip showed it as the aircraft passed a thousand feet apart. An unusual occurrence in PNG where the huge skies are usually empty. Most ATC in PNG is rudimentary and advisory, relying on accurate pilot self reporting but over the years I've come to realise it works.
Curious why you can't peak at a live satellite site like zoom earth to look at real cloud cover information. Obviously not approved for flight but I'm of the school of thought that morr information is never a bad thing. I find most weather sites pale in comparison to actually looking at the live feed.
We do look at the live satellite on windy, but it doesn't show if the clouds are high or low
Do you have reverse thrust in propeller aircraft?
lol
some do
Yes. The Kodiak variable pitch propeller is reversible.
yes, the Kodiak has reverse thrust on it.
I am surprised that beta contributes that little braking action.
Is 'committed' as much or more a mental condition for the pilot than the terrain or a combination?
No, it's definitely a terrain thing. You can't tell from the wide angle gopros, but from that point on, I can't out climb the terrain
"Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you." 1 Peter 5:7 (NLT)
🙏❤
As a Bush Pilot are you IFR certified? I hope that is the correct terminology.
Yes I am, which means I can fly through clouds legally
I could never be able to understand ATC. I would have to ask them to slow down and repeat themselves so many times. And it's not even the PNG accent, because I can't understand the American ones either when I see those videos!
It does take time. I struggle when I go down to Australia
ATC can be very hard to understand in many places - certainly in PNG. In Goroka tower Roland is well organised and speaks slowly and clearly - bless him. Some of the ATC ladies particularly at Moresby can be quite difficult to follow but in reality I have come to realise they are efficient and informative. I watched Ryan's channel for two years with no understanding of the ATC but thanks to Ryan including ATC communications in his videos in the last couple of years I've got to grips with how ATC works in PNG - it's quite basic where other than Moresby (radar and VOR) and Lae (VOR) there are no navigational aids in the country so the system is basic and relies on accurate pilot positonal reporting - but it works!
