The Craziness of a bush pilots schedule will probably make most pilots want a new job. I love the spontaneity of my job, the ever changing schedule.....every day. Being a bush pilot in PNG, is not for the faint of heart...or patience.

I love how the fact that you're flying over one of the most, if not the most remote coastlines on the planet and it's just another day at the office man. been bingeing these like crazy
I flew in PNG in the 70's and find your videos interesting inasmuch as how different it was 50 years ago. I was based in Lae and then Rabual ( before the eruption which closed the town ) and I know the area well. We flew in the pre turbine era and slogged along in Cessna and Islanders with the old piston engined Lycomings and Continentals. No gps , juat a map and mark one eyeballs. Interestingly all our aircraft had the old Mafair flip down/ flip up checklists on top of the panel. Yours seem to be an uprated electrical version.
Something that seems to lack in your videos is how treacherous PNG weather can get. We
used to push it pretty hard as we were a commercial airline and I can remember a few white knuckle flights bordering on the edge of risk verse reward. I guess the best way to put it is on a good weather day flying in PNG in the highlands or out in the islands ( New Britain, New England and Bougainville) was fantastic. The bad days, pretty scary.
I did aa few years, Lae and Rabual and then went back to Australia to resume an Ag pilot career which I did for many years.
Keep the videos coming. I just watch them and marvel at the difference 50 years has made to bush pilot flying.
I never get tired of your flight videos. Scenic and full of great info!
Glad you like them!
Here in Texas...pilot: “Need to watch out for the power lines.” Ryan in PNG “Need to watch out for the volcanoes.” 😁😁
OREN G Hi I lost a friend overseas with unmarked power lines , now MANY COUNTRIES are using those brown markers cheers 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@flybyairplane3528 I was with my uncle in a small plane flying around large power lines...and naively asked him what gauge on the plane showed him where the lines where. He said "none". Surely love Ryan's videos. He is awesome.
that is why i love bush flying ......
I love that "airplane talk".......
"looks like a dog on the runway" that made me laugh. Thankfully everyone is safe.
#1 pre-req for bush pilots -- aeronautical qualifications.
#2 pre-req for bush pilots -- flexibility. And we're not talking about bending over and touching you toes.
Thanks as usual for the ride-along; it was a good look at a day in the life.
Being a contractor with many skills I don't ever get bored cuz I always have something different I can do in my line of work. I think I do better as a bush pilot than I would as a commercial airline pilot. Intense schedules are always difficult.. waiting for an hour and a half is probably about the closest to a layover you get I don't like layovers😂
9:42 "I am 100% full up, so I don't think I'd get [1.5 miles per 1000' gilde] today"
Actually the aircraft weight doesn't affect the glide distance at all - as long as you are gliding at the correct speed for that weight. The glide angle is determined by the L/D ratio of the wing, and that doesn't change - but as you need more lift for the higher weight, you have to glide down that angle at a higher speed.
Very true. Any glider pilot knows that.
Indeed if he's referring to the weight ( which seems to be the case ) but if in his head he is thinking about wind conditions or the airplane performances ( which sometimes differs from the POH ... ) it is true.
I personally think the constant change and having to pivot is exciting. I am not undermining the impact it has on you but I think most pilots would probably love the adventure of it all.
If a developer would make this Kodiak for FS2020, with your Pilot avatar... 10/10 would buy!
the Kodiak is coming out in a month or so for fs2020
Kamikaze birds and kamikaze dogs, all in a days work for Ryan ;) Awesome video once again, never a dull moment in PNG!
Yeah Captain! That needs a tough mind! The coastline down below is so serene. Thrilled by the storm clouds across the waters , dangerous as they may be. What a marvellous landing Captain? Gently, skilfully skimming over the still waters. That was pure bliss! Wish we were going on to Goroka again!
I work in a prison at a civilian job, but the pressure is still there. When things get stressful, my mind often drifts off and I wonder--what steep grass runway in PNG are we off to today??
Great perspective! Thanks
Always interesting Ryan. 😊
Awesome flight Ryan !
Superb mate as always
Great Flight!!
Fantastic Ryan! Superb!
Great video, Thanks Ryan
Weight doesn't affect your glide angle, just glide speed ...
Another Great Video Thank You
Outstanding video!
Ryan, things just don't go to plan, weather can change quickly, coastal or mountains, no day is the same. Interesting listening to you sort out your new scedual for the day.
Thanks again for the ride Ryan, you do it well.
Thanks Ryan for the originaly unintended low coastal flight giving the opportunity to appreciate the beautiful scenery. The landing from the sea was awesome. Liked it. Stay safe!
You are awesome!
good job u rock man
Love that approach over the water onto the landing strip.
G, day Capt Ryan from Sydney, Australia.
v1 rotate (continue)
Just to clarify; for study purposes,
* first time on RWY taxi up and back to identify a half way symbol (tree or fence)?
* full end RWY full power, if not at 70% and increasing at half way: abort ( cutoff power and brake)?
You may be asking "I don't actually know what"?
Q1. What if there's no trees or special features around half way?
🌏🇭🇲
Enjoyed flying with you again! It's interesting to see the decisions you need to make each time you fly. So many things to think about. Thanks!
Putting your ego aside saves lives..Awesome approach..💯🙌🏾
You are doing an awesome job. Well done.
Thank you Ryan. Your videos never get old.
Stunning flight. Love the coastal flights! Just a typical 'day at the office' for you, right? Amazing stuff.
After some time off YT it’s great to be back watching your daily adventures.
Well done mate
Love it !!! Thanks for sharing !
Thanks for watching!
Respect for the job you do! Amazing commitment and flying! Thank you for a great video!
thanks for a good video. keep safe then.
Nice view from the office, just got to watch the wildlife!
The scenery is insane!
I had a close call with a bird once. Watched it fly at me and went over the top of the windscreen last second. Excellent job on the landing.
John, hi many moons ago flying out of CDW FAIRFIELD NJ, I was practicing SLOW FLIGHT in a C150, We always use this area,north to south over a reservoir & land, when a TURKEY VULTURE HIT PORT WING destroying BOTH SENSORS, STALL, & airframe HOBBS, , Not far from base . , blood & feathers , that has been my only bird strike so far. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Awesome
I love that physical checklist device - could have done with that during my short PPl "carreer"
👍 Thanks.
Nice! As usual!
Great
Great Vid Ryan, Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
so cool
Great vid Ryan thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
These vicarious ride alongs really help some of us who don't get the chance to fly often into the right frame of mind. Thanks for posting.
in canada you work the ramp for a year before you even fly, a lot of people give up doing that maybe
Thanks Ryan, #989 thumbs up, Thanks for the ride, One day I hope to catch you live, Best wishes, Brian...
dog on the runway at JFK. Fifty plane ground stop. International arrivals divert to Philly.
I love your videos, and they prompt me to pray for you, your wife, and extended family.
Excellent flight Ryan!! You don't know how bad I would love to fly right seat with ya! Turbines kick ass!!
Lucky escape for the bird. Looked like a smallish Falcon type bird. As for the dog...no idea
Beautiful plane, awesome landscape. Keep up the good work Ryan. Your videos gives me hope to be both glider and bush pilot one day.
Hi Ryan what a trimendous flight that was, I'm so glad for you that it was nicen clear so that you see places whare you were going, l always enjoy every flight that you're on, keep safe till next time.
Yet another fantastic video and Thank You. I have noticed that the right hand yoke is never used in your videos. Certainly would make a nice addition to my flight simulator 😁😁
What is that thing on the glare shield? Is that just a box with switches you’re using as a checklist?! That’s super clever. Who makes those?
Thanks for the ride.👍
You bet
It's interesting how similar the procedural structure starts getting once you exceed a certain level of complexity in a task domain. Use the tools to reliably automate common tasks. Write everything down. Follow checklists. Standardize procedures to reduce error rates and to make spotting anomalies easier/faster. Normalize maintenance. Use a formalized change process. Use more than one form of communication. Etc. We do it because it works! /salute
Yours is a very interesting and helpful comment. Could you elaborate a bit more and also provides some info or links to texts or websites for further self study? Thank you!
You are an angel!
Can't stop watching your channel, regards from Krakow Tower 🛫
Yes Ryan that was a near one for that 🐦 l just caught sight of it when you past by it, it was very funny, but as for the flight it was as usual trimendous l enjoy every flight, you always make it very interesting, thank you.
I adore your New Britain flights. Volcanoes!
Legend!!! Sounds like a dream what you do. Hope to become a bush pilot one day.
Flexibility is key! As frustrating as it can be, being able to adapt to a changing environment is key!
Looking very nice.
Many hours in a 172 and a Grand Caravan on the US east coast...moved back home to high altitude in Colorado..and nope, low ceiling, extreme weather that changes every 30 min it seems, insane air traffic on the eastern slope. Hat is off to you bush pilots weather you're island hopping or dodging 14+plus peaks to land on skis.. you all and ag pilots definitely set the bar! Safe touchdowns!!
I learned to fly here in CO, c'mon in the water its plenty warm.
@@aviatorgeek99J my hat is off to you, one of my best aviation friends grew up here and it's no big deal for him, I got my wings when everything was about analog and just never kept up,heck float planes are illegal in CO. Love it all the same.
You have a great RUclips Ryan; enjoying it thanks
Glad you enjoy it!
Good decision to go via the coast. One and a half miles per thousand? Maybe, with a perfectly clean and straight airframe and 100% accurate technique, but even putting it in 100 meters off the beach could still drown someone. I like the way you operate.
Awesome man. We used to live in Hoskins. That’s where I got the missionary pilot bug. Now I’m flying down in central Mexico.
Thank you captain Ryan for giving us a glimpse into your daily flying routine, which never will be a routine actually ;-) Lots of animal encounters today, very interesting. Thank goodness you are staying cool. Looking forward to your next flight. Greetings from EDKB, Germany.
Good Job my Friend.
Thank you very much!
Humans are amazing
A bird and a dog....you are doing an amazing job on Survivor Island!!! lol....Keep up the great flying, and everything else will fall into place:)
As a yacht captain/ pilot I have learned a good plan is a flexible plan.
Love your videos
Well, I hope that if I train hard, I can be even half as "on it" as you are. Thank you so much for sharing your professionalism and skills with all of us.
Are we supposed to be taking notes :-)
I lived in Kimbe for 2 years working at NBPOL flew into Hoskins alot during that time even had flights cancelled due to weather in the afternoon from POM. Made some good friends with the good folks at New Tribes. Love watching your videos Ryan job well done.
Woah you made it look real easy on final. Tried that last year at Pauanui NZUN with the beach approach but had to go around. Instructor was itching to take over the next circuit and she nailed it perfectly. Without much experience, the aim point messes with you as it's quite close to the beach/perimeter roadway.
- Chao
Having watched many of your videos it is interesting that I can discern a difference in how long it takes you to takeoff with an empty plane compared to one that is loaded down (as is expected...just not something easily conveyed on RUclips).
Wonderful! The Flight Simulator 2020 needs such an impressive and absolutely hyperrealistic Kodiak Quest bushflight cargo plane DLC.
Or a Cessna Grand Caravan. Great cargo plane also.
Welp, ur wish has come true
@@Sprud_ Yes indeed, and the SWS Kodiak 100 is a fantastic plane :) only an update for the modded Garmin 1000 NXi is necessary to make the turbine gauges looking the same as in the real cockpit. And these cool bear-paw logos under the door handle should be textured into the simulated plane too. Too bad that I have sold my graphics card and photorealistic VFR flights above dense jungle are no longer possible.
Flying with you Sir has become share poetry - Just magical.
So nice of you
Awesome;) how you kept your cool, like a true professional Busch pilot . All in a days work. Eh. I really like your videos.
Watching from India 🇮🇳
Have you new cameras? The vision is great, clarity seems greater than before. Love the first mug will buy the second soon. Thankyou for what you do. Blessings.
same cameras I have been using for the past 8 months, but the sunny days make them look extra crisp
It doesn't take long to go from Vx to a stall if you have an engine failure on takeoff. At Vx, by the time you recognize what's going on, you are going to have to be aggressive with that yoke. Anyway... you know this better than the rest of us. But I appreciated your explanation for why you were climbing out at Vy instead of Vx. Awesome video!
Dream job
Flyin a single engine, I'ma stickin to the coastline too. Wise man. Nice vid. Subscribing. Landing on dirt. You are allright man. Thanks
It really is a beautiful place. Reminds me of flying around the Hawaiian Islands. Can't wait to see you get your rotor rating and those flights in your future. Love the varity of factors you have to deal with to get the missions done. You are a lucky man, hope the wife is understanding on missing a return to home flight :)
thankfully I have the most understanding wife ever!
bird on the takeoff.... dog on the landing... animals want to be in your vids!
I recall a take-off and landing at a missionary school at Rintebe, only circa 10mins flying time from Goroka, but over an hour and a half drive. The strip reminded me of some of the very small grass strips with a cliff drop off at the end that you fly in and out of. Problem was we had a fair bit of rain whilst the aircraft was on the ground and the take-off was downright scary……buzzers going off and 4 passengers just a little concerned.
I showed my daughter your plane tail lettering, NTZ. Her last name is NITZ. Thought that was pretty cool!
Ryan, take a chill- if it can be done then do it-if it can't than it will be there tomorrow.
and usually tomorrows weather is perfect
What are the groves you flew over?? Keep up the nice videos. You are doing one heck of a good job. Bless you.
palm oil trees
Ryan, great content! I've flown a bunch of your routes on the sim (msfs2020). Marawaka is a cool approach and I'm gonna try to hit a few smaller strips at higher altitudes. I wish they had the Kodiak in the sim...maybe someday? Fly safe buddy and keep the content coming!
The Kodiak is coming in the next month or so for FS2020
@@MissionaryBushPilot that's great news! Thanks! 👍
