THAT WAS ROUGH!

This morning my grandson asked me, “How do you start an airplane engine?” Now I’m here and this is beautiful. Great work, pilot!

Hey Ryan! Was curious do passengers sitting next to ever get spooked from the constant conversation with the camera?

Hello Ryan, i love your films. Werry inspiring. Could you please give us a smal list of the most amazing airports you fly to in PNG? I look forward to try them in Virtual reality and with the Kodiak Q-100 in MSFS2024

技術很好的機長

Gorgeous. Nice work.

Your world is facinating and so filled with challenges with the tech and the knowledge needed to make it all work. You really do a great job showing the world you live in and how it works. I hope the best for you and will continue to watch.

Beautiful approach , rough strip ! That was proper. Nicely done Ryan 👍🏼

Hey Ryan, great video as always. Do you ever feel like the kodiak's tail is going to sit on the ground when you shutdown the engine without a tailstand? we require a tailstand before shutdown in our ops because of how heavy the back gets with full pax on board.

Love your channel, and I love to fly "with you!" Don't take this wrong, but you always give me reassurance that I must never strap into the left seat. It ain't for me, Babe! The consequences are too high. I'll gamble those odds when I can afford them, but in the air, the stakes are too high for me to be on the controls or the mike!

So, it's fair to say you're holding a missionary position...

Nice approach and landing. Think they need to top some of those trees approaching the threshold?

What an awesome approach there! Btw did Goroka change the runway designators? I thought it used to be 18 R/L 36 R/L Now it is 17 R/L 35 R/L

What sort of Pad are you using to do your calculations on and I see an outline of your storage units below the plane. Would you be able to elaborate? Thanks Michael

I don’t understand your thumbnail

No earplugs for pax?

no way jose! ......not for me!
good luck to you, sir

Well yeah, sure, the flying was very proficient and all, but did you see the person driving the tow tug get to the EXACT right spot to hook up the towbar!?!?! Now THAT's precision! 🤣😂🤣

I really wouldn't think that that flight would be cheap. How much does it cost for the native people around there to fly?

Your co-pilot sure is quiet….

That grass strip looked rough

its amazing how big the caravan is !!

Great video and camera work. Rough terrain is unforgiving but beautiful. Cheers Rob

This is precision flying. Hat's off to you, sir! Impressive in good weather conditions, but you do it in very marginal conditions also!

I'm always amazed at your landings. Great video as usual. Going to go checkout your coffee!

This may sound judgemental, but if a community cannot keep its landing strip in safe condition to protect the lives of pilots and passengers, and safety of aircraft or keep livestock and other animals away, why can that strip not be boycotted until the situation is remedied?

Abenteuer pur-1000% Top Pilot

Textbook well done your confidence is a calming effect passengers looked calm and enjoyed the flight

Another great video Ryan. Rough strip this time. Thanks for taking us alog 🤙

The takeoff looked rougher than the landing!

BIG SHOUT TO M A F[ MISSIONARY AVATION FELLOWSHIP yes bush pilots in AFRICA/ south america & other area,s plus use of float planes

I would say more than any other type of flying, the type of flights Ryan takes have to be the most nerve racking day-after-day. Constantly battling weather it seems, barely acceptable runways, remote and inaccessible mountainous terrain, etc. Just so little room for error or surprises. My utmost respect for some of the most skillful flying you'll likely ever watch.

The runway maintenance crew needs a memo….nice landing though.

Did you do a belly strike on the takeoff?

Why do you not use the main runway?

Looks like you got to log at least three takeoffs leaving that strip!

you are awsome.

You don't fly there anymore but it must have been like being in a kind of paradise.

Awesome Ryan. A very rough flight but you made it like always.

Sheesh what a runway. Those ruts need to be filled in or they're going to get much worse obviously 😨

Your co pilot looks a bit nervous. 😃

Holy moly that was rough airstrip, nicely done :)

We depend soooo much on professional competent maintenance.That airstrip does not leave room for error or mechanical failure.If you had engine failure at rotation your going in to the valley.But i still envy you.Flying is like being hungry.We have to eat.Your taking nothing for granted and your fight against complacency are your life lines.

another greaat video!

@Missiionaryk Bush Pilot, As usual, smooth landing & take-off. Why so much long take off distance, before you rotated, you were mostly empty, on the last airstrip?
I've learned everything from you, as far as Papua New Guinea airstrips, have some videos, on my channel, of landing & taking off, in MSFS 2020.
Noticed what attitude and speed, near and about final, what was your final approach heading. What is the ICOA of both departure airport and ICOA of the final landing strip?
Thanks in advance, I wish I could afford a Patron account, but times are super tough now. What in lbs. did you rate the 9 passengers at?

Why?. Why do all these American 🇺🇸 Christians think that they are funding a life saving cause? You fly COOKIES in and COFFEE for sale out! A total Sham Ministry!

I wonder what those passengers think of a pilot talking out loud to himself all the time 😂
