A Bush Pilot's Day

[@rickybobbycatsrule]

I am in college to get my commercial pilot license and this is the exact job I am striving for. Thank you so much for showing us what it's like.

[@mapsedge]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! It makes me happy to know there are still pilots who don't want to just go straight to the airlines. Good luck with getting your ratings and hopefully we'll see you out here someday!

[@rickybobbycatsrule]

@@mapsedge exactly! I don't even really want to go to the airlines that bad. I love adrenaline stuff like this. How did you get into this job and get hired if you don't mind me asking?

[@mapsedge]

@Ricky Bobby I hate to sound cliché but it really was right place at the right time. However, my resume was properly padded with cfi experience, a little Alaska time, and some time in a caravan. Basically I would recommend looking at your dream job, see the requirements and start working on checking off boxes. You'll learn a lot along the way and be a better pilot for it. Good luck wherever you end up!

[@starz8227]

​@@rickybobbycatsruleif you dont mind me asking, which school are you going and how long will it take?

[@rickybobbycatsrule]

@@starz8227 I am going to Community College of Baltimore County. It's a 2 year course. Had some hurdles along the way, but I have hopefully a little over a year left.

[@AdityaSUnboxings]

literally one of the coolest videos I have ever seen. this kind of job is so foreign for so many people, and by bringing your experience to everyone, you're filling our heart with hope and inspiration. truly an amazing look into your life and that of a bush pilot. keep doing what you're doing!

[@mapsedge]

Thanks! You said it perfectly. That's why I make these videos

[@xXBrandonFTWXx]

Keep making more vids like this man you’re an inspiration with the work you do. Would love to do stuff like that one day, respect from Canada

Sama sama

[@مأمون-ط6و]

It's good that they come through mountains and caves and you speak their language and that's great. Kids are eagerly waiting for your plane I think you are the first pilot to land on this runway

[@KarimTroost]

It's amazing what these pilots do to help the villagers live a more comfortable life😊

[@rikirison7103]

Tuhan berkati Anda Capt...selalu menjadi berkat bagi orang lain.

[@lalhunglianipachuau6467]

'are there anymore bags'..? yeah. one baby. haha

[@aldamina08]

Thank you for your service! You are a Hero!

[@RogerWilco66]

The controls of the PC-6 are a bit weird - how did you get used to the yoke being low under the dashboard? I also could imagine that for a right handed person this could be a challenge. Some other controls are also strange, like the funny parking brake wire thingie and the tail lock low to the left on the pilot's seat. I guess one can get used to almost anything! :-) I enjoy your videos very much, thank you for sharing!

[@velasteguiroberto4036]

You guys are the best!!!!, making together the comunities.

[@takenbythewindNdrivenbythesea]

My Gosh, Bush pilot must constantly face the unexpected. Different day, different situations. Anyway, I do enjoy your videos. Pilatus is definitely for this job.

[@mapsedge]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Never a dull moment out here!

[@tenclosed]

i look forward to more of your videos

[@baskoroari3641]

Waw.... it was remembered my dad 1970, he is a pilot and flight attendant as well as mechanic with cessna 182, bn2a in Indonesia

[@althomas8594]

Your videos are awesome!! A true hero to so many, thanks bro!!

[@pedrovillegas7833]

Ustedes hacen la diferencia, son la única posibilidad de esas familias; gracias por existir .

[@PhotoStoryChannel]

Happy landing capt...thank you for serving remote area of Indonesia...they will learn aviation

[@hosannamusic24]

Love you Mr Captain. God bless you

[@dariojob100]

Hey nice video! One question: are there still chances to find a job as a bush pilot? I don't care where in the world. are there places where they search the most? i just did the PPL in switzerland and would be willing to continue.

[@robertdesantis6205]

Look into JAARS in Waxhaw, NC.

[@NZKiwi87]

Interesting video!

[@theraifs8120]

Amazing!!!!!

[@majklknight7455]

I can't understand how plane can land on this runway 3:18 :D its official channel or reupload videos ??

[@altarique123]

Excellent . Love 💕 from Buffalo New York USA 🇺🇸

[@j.d.g6073]

Hi, i am interested to become a bush pilot. Do you have any advice? Do you have a specific way to get into it, you would recommend?

[@simo-dv5xk]

Can i ask how many hours behind your CPL did you have to get hired in PNG? Thanks.

[@mactedi2654]

it's Papua Indonesia not PNG

[@kabakriko8693]

Bro 😎 you are amazing, Find hard to communicate with but yeah you serve them well thks

[@freedomforever6718]

Very impressive, unique and courageous.

[@townsendheal8471]

Hey man , I’m a CFII in the States … what organization do you work for ? Are y’all hiring ? I’m looking to do this

[@shadrickh5636]

Hey man, whats the airline you're working for?

[@mapsedge]

PT. AMA

[@thenextthor]

Why don't you use helicopter 🚁 instead of this plane ?

[@marceloroldannavarra6355]

What's is the begining song?

[@toadamine]

you didnt TSA screen your passengers? lmao

[@hantamratatv8128]

Saya subscribe pak kapten. Agar channelnya semakin besar.

[@borjaruiz1941]

How long have you been there, that you talk the local language?

[@mapsedge]

I've been here 5 years. The language I'm mangling is Indonesian, but most of the locals speak it too. We do our best but sometimes communication issues still come up🤷‍♂️

[@leoyakopa9580]

GOD BLESS YOU, KAPITAN. GOOD TO SEE YOU ARE ENJOYING YOURSELF!!!! AM AN AVID FAN FROM NEW GUINEA.

[@AB-jm3iu]

Great video

[@katthompson3852]

When I was training for my CPL one of my instructors was a missionary pilot in PNG for 7 years. The extra curricular training I received was brilliant. But as a female I was told by him never fly there! Man dog woman in that order. I would not survive. Just before I got my CPL a female helicopter pilot had her throat slit through the night in PNG. Different place for sure.

[@mapsedge]

PNG is wild. The Indonesian side isn't great for women but it's definitely not that bad. I've known a few female pilots here and other than being harassed by drunks, they are generally treated well and really enjoy their time in Papua.

[@shern92]

who is paying for all these flight?

[@usantun5454]

I appreciate for you.

[@DensyMohd-jg4qx]

Possible count five passengers, but actual are six + one baby

[@carlosballesteros4670]

A rude pilot, ha?

[@pumpkinflipper5751]

Turn To Christ Amen ❤️🙏🙏❤️✝️✝️ Christ Loves You Amen ❤️❤️✝️✝️🙏🙏❤️✝️✝️

[@us4marine]

I see you’re a professional pilot and really knows what you’re doing, I also understand these local people can be stressing to guide and to make them do what’s right, BUT I can also see you being somewhat mean and disrespectful to people who clearly knows very little about the world or politeness. Being a top gun is not excuse to diminish others. So I unsubscribed. 👎

[@rickg1137]

yes sir the pilot is rude, he knows people see him as God

[@APilotsHome]

You have no idea how frustrating it can be to deal with these situations every single day. This video is a reflection of our daily ops. Even if he might come across rude, it's genuine and legit footage.

[@johnbrown-rm8kc]

NO Need for the distracting stupid Music !!!!!! !!!!!

[@josemacz1432]

You are a rude dude dude. Kicking people or even trying is never ok
