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.
It's really good to hear the engine and prop sounds. The add a lot of character and realism to the viewing experience, even though they are background sounds.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
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
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!!
@@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.
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??
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!
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.
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.
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? 🌏🇭🇲
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).
Today's video came with a touch of blue, it's just so lovely. My eyes kept on thanking me for letting them bask in such lovely visuals, thanks Ryan for your great videos. How do you manage to maintain proper glide slope when approaching these bush airstrips without PAPI lights?
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.
@@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.
Great vlog, thanks Ryan. In your job there is a lot of mental juggling going on requiring cognitive flexibility. It’s easy to see why some pilots would not want that challenge on a daily basis.
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.
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.
Hi Ryan. Just a thought. For wet grass and muddy runways, what about bigger tires. I know they use bigger tires in Alaska just for soft landing areas. Even a little bigger might help. Just a idea. Have safe wheels up. I enjoy all Your videos. Thank You...From Indiana.
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 😁😁

Good morning from vacation in Lake of the Ozarks Missouri! Im Sitting on the balcony of our condo looking at the lake watching your video! Great way to start vacation!!
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.
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.
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!
Yeah, that's weird because the Cessna Caravan has I think a glide ratio of around 15:1. I was in one once as a ride-along getting some time on the controls when the real pilot pulled out my headset, had a short radio conversation, then plugged me back in, cut the engine to idle and feathered and locked the prop and said "your airplane, best glide is 90 knots". I started looking around near us for a field but he pointed and said "The airfield is 10 miles that way". I was surprised. No problem at all in a glider, but I knew from having flown them that there's no way a 172 would make it. The Caravan, no problem. Got it to the field and dead-sticked it on to some a grass runway (with the turbine idling). Incidentally, I think Ryan would find the Kodiak would have at least as good a glide angle at MAUW as at a lower weight and maybe better. The speed for best glide would be higher, certainly. If they quote only one speed then it's probably the optimum speed for MAUW and at lighter weights you should fly slower.
Love the channel and what you do!.. question: in the video today, you were flying over what appears to be some sort of agricultural farming. What kind of trees Are those that look like orchards?

Hi Ryan, I lived in PNG in the early 70's when my father flew for Macair and later Ansett. My question is do you have a list of all your destinations
Weight doesn't affect your glide angle, just glide speed ...
