You're pretty amazing man -- think nothing of landing in a cow pasture on the side of a mountain 4 times a day, but then even when you face a stressful IFR with RNAV guidance and ARIS, you make it look so easy. That's the mark of a pro! Thanks for sharing your work with us.
I'm an avid follower. On Saturday, I met your daughter at Jackson's airport last Saturday. Such a sweetheart. During our conversation, she told me her dad is a bush pilot and has a RUclips channel. Immediately I said, hang on, I subscribed to his channel. I showed her and we both laughed, and she was grateful I subscribed.
Well done! I watched many an ILS approach firsthand as a teen when my father was training for his instrument rating in his Cherokee 180. In the late 80's, we made a landing with instructor one winter foggy night at Charlotte-Douglas Intl. CLT where we estimated the bottom of the fog bank was around 100' AGL. LONG final... heard outer, middle, and inner beacons... on glideslope saw the high-intensity strobe lead in-lights about a minute before breakout. Probably touched down 60-90 seconds after breakout. I looked out the window to a parking lot nearby and the fog was overtaking the really tall lights for the lot. Our instructor said we were probably the last plane allowed in that night. Cemented a lot of the process into my mind.
Great job flying thru the white clouds to land, excited I was if flying with ya more excited. Excited we like and flying does it, if you’re flying the plane . Keep up the good work, see ya next time see ya bye.
Man the place you are flying in takes a whole lot of confidence to do, much respect. I would be all over my airplane checking every single system up and down before I decided to fly, you don't want a failure over that terrain.
It doesn't get much better then the feeling of a new video from Ryan! Kids/wife are in bed, relaxing on the after long day of work with a cold one for maximum relaxation! Cheers from Eastern Tennessee!
That was probably one of my favorite landings I've seen you do. Usually it's just those bush runways but watching you land a "normal" approach was fun and a nice break. Plus going through the soup. Nice landing. 🙂
That was about as good as it gets demonstrating how busy a single pilot IMC approach can be. Very challenging. Lots of views from the front and also of the instruments at the same time. Modern displays and autopilot reduce the workload a bit from hand flying that approach, but hey this isn't 1974. Great job recording and flying!
Amazing ride Ryan. Thank you. I could sense your relief(and exhilaration just a few seconds after 😉)when the Runway Environment came into view just about at mins. Also, excellent job bleeding of that extra energy on the landing. Getting from 90+ vs 60+ on the landing takes a lot of skill (wet runway too).
Wowee! Nice work playing the conditions and getting in. I just finished IFR ground school and getting into the sim sessions for my rating, so it's nice to see how it plays out in real life.
That was a text book IFR lesson Ryan. I'm still learning glass cockpit, but have come to really appreciate the G1000 visuals and information. Still...inside the ping pong ball till short final gets the pulse going. Super thankful for this instruction sir.
my goodness, I don't know if I would want to do it any other way than instrument approach. I mean visibility looked to be almost 0%. ughhhhhh I am still new to all this and flight simulator will probably be as close to doing this as I could get..... LOVED the vid.
Hello Ryan, great work and I'm glad to see, how you managed this RNAV APP on 09, cause I feel vindicated in my RNAV APP Simulating in XPLane 11/12 doing it right. 😉 And yes, flying solo IFR Flights and approaches is a lot of work indeed. I'm momentarily in the region Canada British Columbia and US Alaska with a Cessna 172 on Floats - very interesting thing and much to learn again after hundret hours on Airbus and Eclipse NG550. Always happy landings to you 😊
Watching you handle this weather makes me wonder how the pilots of ww2 got along without the aid of gps etc. You have to hand it to them they were fantastic pilots and navigators with only maps ,a compass and a protractor with a watch to guide them.
Hey Ryan, thank you for all that you do for the missionaries. Love to see you in action.. True professional !. Keep up the great work and keep the Videos coming..
Hey Ryan, you mentioned that you were expediting on this flight and made the call NOT to take any coffee or other items so that you could focus on the needs of the missionaries. Can you share more about this? Does your company give you flexibility to make these types of call? Perhaps you can share about more how you go through these decisions and the implications? Thanks! Keep up the great work!
Yes, thankfully whatever decision I make is the final call with no one contesting it. Whether is be weather, if I fly passengers or cargo. At this place we help out the community when we can, it our main focus and reason we are doing these flights is to get the missionaries their needed supplies to build their houses
I heard about the autopilot descent in quite a bit of detail on an accident review video by a well known airline pilot instructor...helped make sense of what you were explaining.
Huh, something odd with the camera on the starboard wing. It was showing a faint double image for the tire, the runway marker lines, and a couple other things. (But it wasn't doing that for everything.) 🤔
Hi, Great video. What is that wheel next to your right leg? Also, you speak of the igniters….What are they. Have you ever experienced engine failure…..In the terrain you fly in is unforgiving. I am impressed with your skill…I’d fly with you anywhere. Regards Les
Hey Ryan, just interested to know why you fly a level segment on this approach. Is it a function of coding or the G1000 etc? In airline flying, when fly a RNP approach to LNAV/VNAV minima we fly a CDA (constant descent angle) approach so that it approximates an ILS for simplicity. Cheers from a ropey old 777 Capt 🤠
Hey Ryan, I was wondering if you yell “clear” or “clear prop” before starting your engine? Anyway do you even need to do that or is that just for piston engines and is that actually a law or is it just good practice? Anyway thanks Ryan I love the videos and I love to see your passion and skill your share with us of aviation and the incredible landings you perform on a daily basis. It is so cool!
Hello~ I am a subscriber who enjoys watching your videos. I have a question. May I know what are the buttons on the dashboard? Are these switches that tell you the checklist items? I hope you have a safe and enjoyable flight at all times.
@8.17; Wow, so do the 20degrees extra flap generate extra lift in order to actually allow aircraft to climb at steeper angle of Vx and thus clear obstacle quicker - is that the reasoning there ? I ask this because, when training in my Flight School days, I was taught a certain amount of flaps themselves would give extra lift when wanting to clear obstacles, however I didn’t know that flaps could also be used in another purpose role so as to allow for steeper climb angle itself to be maintained.
Interesting you temp correct your minima down in hot temps? We correct when below 0° but never reduced down…. Is this normal in that part of the world ?

@@MissionaryBushPilot What he said!
Too good.
The Rnav approaches for Nadzab surely makes approach into Nadzab during IMC weather interesting.

Love seeing the instrument work, had me on the edge of my seat! RNAV / GPS is a blessing in PNG!
Ryan sets a high standard
Definitely a bit spooky but a very professionally executed approach. Thanks, Ryan.
Awesome high school nickname
Incredible to be able to watch this kind of content. These are some serious pilot skills. This guy goes to oxygen bars and snorts ginko biloba.
Lump in the throat time for sure on that ILS approach and landing. Nicely done!

Cool little waterfall on the right just after takeoff. 🤗
Yes, you are right, it's huge
Crikey, that is really flying - amazing proficiency.
Man the place you are flying in takes a whole lot of confidence to do, much respect. I would be all over my airplane checking every single system up and down before I decided to fly, you don't want a failure over that terrain.
The point about aviation: you should make the exact same effort for every flight. Either its a 10 minute or 3 hour flight.
Hey Ryan this flight was professionally done and I enjoyed the experience
I love looking down on certain views and seeing the incredible rivers and waterfalls. Amazing country.
It doesn't get much better then the feeling of a new video from Ryan! Kids/wife are in bed, relaxing on the after long day of work with a cold one for maximum relaxation! Cheers from Eastern Tennessee!
Hi, Mr. Ryan. Thanks for bringing us along.
Wow! Thank you for the instrument approach to minimums. That was awesome.
That was probably one of my favorite landings I've seen you do. Usually it's just those bush runways but watching you land a "normal" approach was fun and a nice break. Plus going through the soup. Nice landing. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it!

awesome work mate, as a commercial pilot for 25 years, you a truly a professional in every aspect of your work, outstanding.
Amazing ride Ryan. Thank you. I could sense your relief(and exhilaration just a few seconds after 😉)when the Runway Environment came into view just about at mins. Also, excellent job bleeding of that extra energy on the landing. Getting from 90+ vs 60+ on the landing takes a lot of skill (wet runway too).
It's always a relief seeing the runway when you don't have extra fuel
Wowee! Nice work playing the conditions and getting in. I just finished IFR ground school and getting into the sim sessions for my rating, so it's nice to see how it plays out in real life.
I very much enjoyed the IFR approach and landing
That was a text book IFR lesson Ryan. I'm still learning glass cockpit, but have come to really appreciate the G1000 visuals and information. Still...inside the ping pong ball till short final gets the pulse going. Super thankful for this instruction sir.
Fantastic once again Ryan
Hey, Ryan. God surely was watching over you on this flight. Felt like being blind-folded. Scaaaaary!!!
Nice approach ! When I learned IFR, it was in a C 172 with no autopilot. Was busier than a one armed paperhanger....
yeah, I did all my IFR training in a Cessna 152 with no GPS or auto pilot.
Superb flying and decision making getting into Nadzab from 10k. Everything happening in a short distance. Cheers from NZL, David
great flight Ryan ...thanks for the ride!
Outstanding control. Greetings from Texas.
Thank you very much!
I admire your precision and narrative that makes flying understandable to non-pilot enthusiasts like me.
great job. great content. thank you
Wow! I'm not a pilot but that was pretty intense mate, well done!!!
wow good to see you do that
That was a great and intense video🤟👌🤟👌🤟👌
Awesome work Ryan.
That was def a sick one
Very nice landing - love watching a pro do his thing - be safe 👍
Amazing!
Watched it twice.
Nerves of steel! Excellent job!
That was a good one, I enjoyed that thank you❤😊
The G1000 certainly relieves a lot of the workload in those conditions Ryan!
my goodness, I don't know if I would want to do it any other way than instrument approach. I mean visibility looked to be almost 0%. ughhhhhh I am still new to all this and flight simulator will probably be as close to doing this as I could get..... LOVED the vid.

Great video!
Good morning from Minnesota USA! Great episode!
I had just found out about this channel. Great work! It's like I'm in that flight with you for real and learning as we go. Thank you!
Great video as always. Keep them coming. Greetings from Las Vegas, NV.
Watching you handle this weather makes me wonder how the pilots of ww2 got along without the aid of gps etc. You have to hand it to them they were fantastic pilots and navigators with only maps ,a compass and a protractor with a watch to guide them.
That's why so many of them crashed in PNG. They got caught in IMC conditions, in a VRF only plane, with very little navigation stuff to work with
Hey Ryan, thank you for all that you do for the missionaries. Love to see you in action.. True professional !. Keep up the great work and keep the Videos coming..
Great job man, thanks so much for sharing. I am in my Instrument training right now and this was really helpful!
You are an amazing Pilot!

What a pilot x

Superb Ryan, high order decision-making and flying skill. thank you, God bless
Great video! And unless I'm mistaken, this is your first big sponsor, right? Congrats!
Well played Sir! Excellent decision making and flying 👌🏻
Would love to visit PnG especially Goroka, but a long journey from Ireland.
You can make it. I am in Ireland but visit home once every couple of years and spend much of the time in Goroka where Ryan is operating from :)
@@tningal Would love to meet you.
Awesome!! Thanks for another great vid.
Huh, something odd with the camera on the starboard wing. It was showing a faint double image for the tire, the runway marker lines, and a couple other things. (But it wasn't doing that for everything.) 🤔
That's 360 cameras for you
Nice video and im glad to see you back
Hi,
Great video. What is that wheel next to your right leg? Also, you speak of the igniters….What are they. Have you ever experienced engine failure…..In the terrain you fly in is unforgiving. I am impressed with your skill…I’d fly with you anywhere. Regards Les
Kool do more ifr
More is coming in the near future
Ryan
Bravo
You’re amazing all that work load and narrating the video at the same time assume
My best wishes always from Las Vegas craig

Always look forward to new videos, and this one did not disappoint....
Thanks Ryan for sharing your RNAV approach under difficult circumstances. I shall be flying that in Xplane now I've seen an expert do it.
Nice approach and landing. Superb

Very well done. Not for the feint hearted. Keep safe.😊
As I am watching this video, I can see NTZ descending into Goroka fron the northwest on ADS-B Exchange.
Hi Ryan, great skills, brilliant flying - John G-BBKZ
Stressful flight Ryan but handled professionally as always👍Even got to do some bird scaring duties😂
Awesome Ryan!
Impressive. Your channel is a must watch!
Awsome Ryan
One of the best videos from you Ryan, thanks for doing such a fantastic job and being awesome!
Nice job!
Nailed it!!!
Outstanding!
Nice Ryan, keep the blue side up Brother :) ❤💯🙏
What does minimums actually mean? Is it the lowest you can go before you can climb out for go around? Figured you could touch and go if you needed to
Minimum is the lowest one can descend without visual contact with the ground/runway.
That was a cool vid bruh!
Nice video. Cool to see some IFR ops
Hello~ I am a subscriber who enjoys watching your videos.
I have a question.
May I know what are the buttons on the dashboard?
Are these switches that tell you the checklist items?
I hope you have a safe and enjoyable flight at all times.
was it because not that much fule that you didnt take the coffee beans they harvested or so with you?
What’s with the yellow bars on the glideslope?
Naisz again

is the Vx only for when you have flaps down and prop up? and conversely does the Vy only apply when you're in 0 flaps and rpm down?
Do airlines in America accept hours flown as a missionary overseas if you wanted to fly for them back home?
I can't imagine trying to fly that without auto pilot
Interesting you temp correct your minima down in hot temps? We correct when below 0° but never reduced down…. Is this normal in that part of the world ?
morning good to you too lol
