1500lbs of Coffee Pushes my Tiny Airplane TO ITS LIMITS

[@olanderdecastro52]

No wonder you are considered the safest pilot on You Tube. You were interrupted by a radio call with an incoming aircraft and you went right back to your checklist. You didn't get a "gotta get outta here before the other guy tries to land" anxiety and stuck with it. Really terrific work sir! You fly in a very important and dangerous environment doing God's work. Keep it up!

[@georgiapatriot4575]

yep-I noticed the same thing.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

thanks

[@CrimFerret]

My dad was a pilot and we had our own plane for a while when I was growing up. One of the big rules was we stood well back from the aircraft quietly while dad was doing the pre-flight. If we shut down and left sight of the aircraft, it got pre-flighted again before we went on our way. He didn't trust refuelers either. He'd stick the tanks and make darn sure the caps were on properly (he found one loose on more than one occasion).

Hello from USA. Where is the source of the coffee and do they export large quantities? PRICE of roasted and green per tonnage? ❤

[@popcorn32145]

"coffee" lol

[@nothing56644]

totally not some snow

[@worawatli8952]

I had bought Papua New Guinea beans sometime, they are amazing, so much to get it down and bring it to market, it's a great deal and wish it to be more popular, the sweetness on them is so good. Seeing how a batch of green bean was transported with such care made me appreciate it a lot more.

[@ThomasFischer-tw2uh]

Hello, yes I like the loading preparation.

[@lespowell4905]

Enjoyed the IFR practice run and the busy traffic at origin field. Take care Ryan.

[@skepticalobserver2135]

These are great videos, Ryan. Praying for you, your family, and your missionary work!

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

Missionaries go to where the Lord sends them and sure they take their family with them. No big deal for them but some people don’t understand it

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Thanks a lot!

[@bobarchbold275]

Great video as usual my friend... not sure how you cope with such stunning scenery... you work in heaven...

[@leokimvideo]

Great to see the Caravan, I remember when they first appeared in Australia is the mid 80's. A show off model was sent to Bankstown Airport Sydney and the pilot quickly learned the forward visibility of the ground is very limited after he taxied it into a refueling bowser. It had a 3 bladed composite propeller, the blades looked like witches brooms.

[@sailorsamperson3345]

I got my PNG coffee today and had to make a cup, Wow! Thanks Ryan. I always enjoy seeing your videos. Amazing scenery. I should be out diving sometime soon just a bit to the south in Indonesia. Last year’s diving trip was Palau. That’s also a spectacular place.

[@scottmoseley5122]

what kind of coffee is it?

[@Silicone2Software]

We just bought a Kodiak 900 and it gets delivered in November. I started training 2 weeks ago, I want to continue flying after I retire from British Airways in February

[@RTD1947]

Absolutely perfect video…loved the approach..keep doing what you’re doing…old 707 driver.

[@flightsights]

Another fantastic video Ryan. The experiences you have there in PNG are incredible and all while providing such needed service to the communities. I am always amazed at your professionalism and skill proficiency.

[@janrozemaaus]

Wow all what you and college are doing in this business is great to see. Thanks for showing, JR.

[@TarasZpilot]

Wow, busy airstrip. I like the Cessna Caravan since I'm a Cessna guy. They are definitely a work horse. I'm still enjoying the coffee from PNG. Love it! Great flight video with IFR practice. Thanks & stay safe!

[@bucc5062]

Love the IFR approach. Learn a lot from the breakdown of decision making. This helps, even outside of aviation.

[@maitajack]

That's a good view of your life on the ground and a good IFR landing lesson. That helps me with my Simulator. Thank you , good say 😊

[@patrickheavirland3599]

Good morning from Minnesota USA! Great episode!

Good video Ryan. Greetings from central Texas (1T7). Love starting my Sundays watching your weekly video.

Wow, I would fly with you anywhere, anytime! Thanks for the ride, terrific explanation of working with the aircraft when, why, apply!

[@DonGraham-w6y]

Great show once again. Very professional.

[@GrantCharge]

Great video thanks Ryan! Yes, more behind the scenes and logistics please!! 👍🏻💪🏻🙏🏻

I love the behind the seens. I'd watch an hour long video of seeing what all you do in a day. Of course, a lot work for you to put that together.

[@gilliantracy7991]

Thank you Ryan haven’t watched you for a bit but I do enjoy your logs sorry I Santa able too visit while you was stateside God bless you brother

[@ENergyJimP]

I did enjoy seeing the locals loading the coffee. Any interaction with the locals is always interesting.

[@worawatli8952]

Thank you so much for putting this up, I now appreciate high elevation coffee even more and understood more of why they are expensive, not only because it is harder to grow, but they are grown on remote area that the most efficient transport mode is by plane.

[@motorv8N]

Great ride- thank you. Love hearing your thought processes as you plan ahead for the various oars of the flight. Great tool that buddy box.

[@sarahbrown9293]

Loved this flight. Would like for you to continue (audience preferences considered) any IFR flight videos you can provide. 20 Years ago I flew a Piper 28-161 from Laurel MD to Sao Paulo Brazil (& back) which was basically lots of IFR dead reconning, starting with initial fixes being low power NDB and an occasional VOR. I flew it at very low power settings and that's how I got the "legs" to get the distances. In that kind of flying, you really have to pay attention to everything.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Sounds like an adventure

[@nbrettoner]

Hi Ryan, That 'sinker on approach' looked exciting; but well caught. And yes, very happy with your content. Also, enjoying your 'on-the-ground' walkabouts. 🤠🙏🙏

[@stevekirk8546]

Another fine video Ryan - full of information and insight and as ever beautifully filmed and edited. I've finally got round to trying the RNAV-Y approach into Goroka. It took a lot of setting up given my simmulator's relatively simple GPS and autopilot arrangement, plus not being familiar with flying glideslopes I felt the need to do some do some basic mathematics to check the three percent descent rate. When executed it worked well enough but my autopilot/GPS seems better adapted to Dive and Drive rather than glideslope so for Goroka I'm still happy to use your Cloud Breaker procedure.

[@peterminutti7637]

GREAT Video,,,, that is the way we fly here in Mexico... I do fly a T207 and I would like to Fly a kodiak. I love coffee ...an Italian Expresso will be amazing brewed with that coffee. amazing views of the montains.. my best wishes and great weather 4U. Peter

[@jonbutler1816]

That was a really engaging video. I enjoyed the mental play by play of decisions and adjustment engaging with the flight technology and seeing all the safety processes and data on the maps. Zero flight knowledge here, but enjoy watching and getting a view of the profession through your videos.

For those that don’t roast coffee, anybody can buy green coffee in the states for around $6 per pound. Each pound of green once roasted would sell for around $30, there is weight lost in roasting. I don’t do purchasing, but I would guess at this stage in its journey the coffee is only worth $2/pound at most.

@@MissionaryBushPilot It is baffling - on visits to central India on warm sultry evenings we'd be very comfortable wearing thin short sleeved tops in January yet would see locals wearing padded jackets! Never did decide if it was a fashion thing or they felt the "cold".

[@scottfw7169]

Was neat to see the processes and procedures for this flight. Half a century ago my Dad and Granddad were each pilots for a season or two of their lives; flying is both the same and different these days. 😄 Will go watch the village tour later this afternoon.

[@markhelminger5597]

I don’t remember ever hearing you setting the altimeter. Is there a standard pressure or how do you set it? Field elevation?

Trivia: The boxes, velocity vector combined with flight director is sometimes referred to as Highway in the Sky (HiTS). It was developed for general aviation aircraft by the NASA Advanced General Aviation Transport Experiment (AGATE) project. It was demonstrated in the early 2000's. NASA AGATE also developed the certification basis for PFD and MFD in GA.
