CRAZY or Graceful LANDING with a TAILWIND on a Mountain Runway....You Decide

[@david_hocutt]

"So let's see, there is a hill to the left and a hill beyond. Yep! This is the spot for a landing strip!" These are some wild places to land, Ryan. And these locations would have no way to get the supplies and personnel in and out without flights like these. Amazing! Great job!

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Aviation is a lifeline to a lot of these places

[@homomorphic]

That hill on final is nutty.

[@heyidiot]

20:32 The sultry tone of Betty saying "vertical track" still sounds like Veronica to me. Reminds me of one of the SimCity games, that would say "reticulating splines!" at startup, in the same voice. Question we all forgot to ask your wife when we had the chance: Did she ever ask you, _"So... who's this 'Betty' I hear you've been flying around with buster?!"_

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Thankfully my wife's name isnt Betty because I'm always turning Betty off 😁

[@heyidiot]

@@MissionaryBushPilot Buh-dum-BUMP! 🤣🤣🤣

[@jc59jc]

Great explanations on how to properly fly the kodiak. The best coming from a pro. Thanks.

[@homomorphic]

The observation on a thick headband interfering with your bodies cooling is spot on.

[@darrenduerksen9143]

That just looks like a scary approach! Imagining if there was any turbulence, I would think that would be nerve-racking coming in lower than the surrounding mountains with close quarters....

[@jeffsmith6775]

Great flight Ryan! Your verbalization of the flight planning going through each phase of the flight is what makes your videos exceptional - nobody does it as well as you do. I really enjoyed the overview on the engine readouts and how they are influenced by the controls. I was holding my breath as you flew the slot between two hills to get onto the strip- awesome!

[@richarddriggers9791]

Ryan as far as the pro headsets you are using, your audio on every flight I have viewed, your audio is exceptionally understandable and crisp.

[@mscir]

Most interesting landing in a while now. I'm surprised flight sim companies don't pay you for data.

[@77leelg]

That airstrip requires a real commitment. Great flight and vid!

[@derekdaniel3361]

I like 'flaps up' before touchdown.

[@cenebrad1350]

What a great education in aviation. Doing a great job. I've had missionary friends in PNG for a long time and it's nice to see the country and hear the names of towns I've heard over the years in prayer letters. God bless.

[@PaulGarthAviation]

27:29 - Wild that it appears on final, you're having to cheat to the left, because of the darn hill. Awesome landing. Taxi back on Alpha.

[@dtsviper]

Ryan, Lionheart Creations has stated they will be porting their Kodiak to MSFS 2020!. I own it for FSX and it was always fun to fly. Can’t wait for the new version! Edited for spelling...

[@DryeLint]

Tell them they might want to do the Kodiak instead, not sure a Kodak would fly very well.

[@dtsviper]

@@DryeLint Oops! Cameras don’t seem to fly as well...

[@seki029]

It was both crazy and graceful! The terrain is crazy! Amazing graceful landing! Thanks again for another great video.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@BS25BaldEagle]

Amazing footage of your final. As a non-aviator I find the information about the aircraft fascinating even if beyond my understanding. Thank you for sharing as always.

[@vorilslite3840]

Thanks Ryan. Always enjoy your videos and really appreciate your comments describing the decision making process. Plus that approach is quite something. Thanks again

[@ericg69er]

Sorted the audio in NTZ ....that flight had the best audio, video, content and editing, to date....if I could I would give you two thumbs up. Cheers.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Yeah O think I finally figured it out after messing around and trying different things

[@wb6she]

Great flight again Ryan, thanks!..take care and God Bless..

[@erikkijktvideos]

As always, great video, great explanations, great views, and awesome landings (and I almost forgot: great livery as well)!

[@billywray4524]

looked like a tricky landing. my father and granfater were both pilots. i found flying boring and became a army paratrooper instead. i don't find this flying boring though. nice job

[@nevianarashkova3449]

Beautiful landing, Ryan! Great content, especially the technical details. Thanks for creating the playlists! If you plan to make more videos about specifics/performance of the plane, the last video is the perfect candidate for a playlist "Quest Kodiak". :)

[@georgesiebes]

nice cloud-tunnel at 6:22.

[@peterjames8714]

Hi Ryan -awsum video with great explanations re the turbo prop. I look forward to your vlogs each week. Great job-very informative.Cheers

[@hank5655]

Ryan a turbo jet engine is when you rotate the blades on the front of the engine it rotates all the blade front to back, a Turbo Fan is a hollow shaft come from the rear of the engine powered by the exhaust gases rotate the hollow shaft that powers the fan blades on the front of the engine just like a Turbo Prop the big difference is a turbo jet engine is only efficient at very high 70altitudes above 39,000 ft up to 50,000ft and beyond I worked in the U.S.A.F. on the boeing 707 Tanker and AWACS as the crewchief! hope this will help out.

[@Ryanboy2020]

Thanks! Great video Ryan. I thought you nailed the landing! I would love to ride shotgun with you for a week just to take pictures of the scenery! The waterfalls that you show and describe sound amazing!

[@aurumakkadian8585]

Thanks so much for all of the detailed explanation(s) in this video. I was hoping you'd get around to the specific details. Thank you again for your vlog, so cool!

[@markhamilton.photos]

Wow! What an amazing approach. Looks like it’s definitely a fun one!

[@JoeSmoe1]

did he just casually say hes basically a flying bomb??? like its cool haha, oh hell nah 😂😂😂😂

[@ethan13clarke42]

You are able to fly nice and close to terrain. I fly to Virginia a lot a and experience up and down drafts around the mountains which doesn’t look like you do as much in png! Great video🙏

[@NetDijk]

Graceful of course! Crazy if it were me landing for sure...

[@MiguelCuencaMena]

I don't know how you can be sure where the "airport" is. And how you are going very near of the mountain... WOW. I wish my soccer team had the same B-4lls. Be safe and a greeting from Spain ;)

Thanks for the techicnal explanations!

[@tomh6379]

I started watching your videos a couple weeks ago. Very entertaining. Thank you.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Nice work! Have you checked the efficient of the flaps up before touchdown? I assume that is to avoid any floating. Which speed do you use on short final approach? Thank you. Happy Landings, Guido Warnecke

[@NathanElcoate]

[@robin_miller_music]

My son and I were playing GeoGuessr yesterday (wait, there is s a point!) So it dumps us in the location and we're scanning around for clues, when we spot a sign that says Wewak. I say to my son "I know that name from somewhere, can't remember where, but I defo know that name..." Couldn't do it, sorry Ryan :( Proper kicked myself when I saw the answer, ha ha!!

[@Stwutter1973]

Fabulous stuff. Been watching you for a few weeks. Amazing skills.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Glad you like them!

[@MrDouglind]

Just wondered what decides which aircraft you fly each day.As a long time truck driver I always strived to use the same truck every day.You get used to it and set it up the way you want it.As well the unit gets much better care. Enjoy every bit of your videos,just bought flight sim 2020 and are looking forward to replicating your flights.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

They all fly almost exactly the same so we just have to use certain planes while others are in maintenance

[@ummagowa]

Do any of these strips have any kind of ILS? Are there ILS systems that are designed for small bush strips? Like a bush kit?

[@3pbhenry]

With such high cockpit temps, I've often wondered why you don't leave the pilot's door cracked open to prevent some of the heat building up until you get the engine started and the blowers on.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

It's because the exhaust fumes would full the cabin and make it even hotter.

[@bryanr9533]

I think you handled it well and it looked like a good landing to me. 🙏

[@AaronYap380]

I see it was a graceful landing, but a well executed approach to runway, with the high terrain on the sides. Nice to see the villagers come out to greet you after you have landed and shutting down the Kodiak. Do you normally have time for some coffee or a drink before you turn-around and take-off?

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

I wish I had more time on the ground, but no, usually, my day is packed full.kr I want to get back home before the weather gets bad.

[@jeffbailes5989]

great flight Ryan, thanks for bringing us along

[@richardsuttill54]

One of the most fascinating of all your excellent videos. A couple of questions, does the heat on the ground play havoc with all those electronics? and Do you ever fly with a copilot on routine flights and for what reasons?

[@OnceUponAPipe]

I enjoyed the flight Ryan! Thank you.

[@FlightMariner]

Awesome video; love your flying! Seems my flying videos have some margin for improvement. Great stuff

[@edchair3559]

You bless me with this content. I've been wanting the engine details seems I'm too lazy to look it up. The torque is the measurement at the converter, right? When you change the prop angle, the torque /RPM changes on the prop side but not the engine side I'd want that over pistons! Missed the 360 this time

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Yes, when you change the prop rpm, it doesn't change the engine side

[@stevenewtube]

Hi Ryan. Quick question, do the ‘in-ear’ headphones smooth out the air pressure changes as you change altitude? Or does it help with that in any way. Love your flying.

[@its9429]

That as a great approach to watch, nice flying!

[@AmerigoMagellan]

I want a "Ryan" Funko Pop in uniform with sunglasses on and a Monster drink on his right hand. 😁

[@ktubesk]

This was a close approaching. Can you show how you land using minimums to slide smoothly

[@0akgrove]

Nice job on the landing sir.....

[@jonworthing7467]

Have you had any near misses flying between the mountains. I would have butterflies . Being so close to the mountain with that cloud cover.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

No, I try to give myself lots of margin

[@retrodad6864]

Why use google when we’ve you passing on the knowledge. Good explanations of the engine setting for the various altitudes. Thanks for posting. 👍

Ryan Pops. Very cool departure Wewak ! Which month of the year are you guys quietest with respect to GA workload ? V

[@Coccoluto]

Beautufil content. Thanks a lot

[@davidbjornstad7759]

Thanks for the info on engine management. Turboprops are a mystery to me, but then my interest is only academic anyway. Gotta ask (and you may have answered this in another video) -- have you ever simmed a landing at Lukla? It's called the most dangerous airport in the world, but a suspect folks who say that have never seen some of the strips that you land on.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

No I haven't, I know what it looks like though

[@davidbjornstad7759]

Yeah, I've seen it on several aviation-oriented TV programs, as well as KZbin vids, both real and MSFS 2020. PNG grass strips are scarier. Have a good flight today, if you're going anywhere.

[@danschreck9400]

great flight and good information, have a safe day!

Crazy beautiful landing! 👍

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Thx

[@anlq1240]

Good Sunday, Ryan, hope you all are doing well.

[@ralphvanthoff]

Thx Ryan, love the technical part of this. Why is 720 ideal for ITT, and how does ITT correlate to pitch, rpm and altitude?

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

720 is recommended in the Kodiak flight manual. Not sure why that specific number. ITT is strictly how hot it is inside the interstate turbine

[@cairoinc]

Amazing views on this approach!

[@VitalyBasenok]

Great videos Rayan, thank you so much! Greetings from Israeli pilots! I have asked once in one of your earlier videos: I wonder how can one get a pilot job like you have? Is it possible in you company in PNG?

[@mouser485]

Hey Ryan, as a pilot myself I love the startup, takeoff, cruise and especially landing sequences but would like to see more interaction with the people. Maybe show the unloading of the airplane sometime ?. Also, you fly 2 or 3 Kodiaks, do you prefer any over the others ? I got my PPL flying 3 identical 172’s but there was one, N739RN, that just seemed to fit me better than the other 2.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

yes we fly all three of the Kodiaks we have. They all fly basically the same. I do post on the ground content on my patreon page if you are interested in seeing more.

[@mouser485]

@@MissionaryBushPilot I’ll look into it Ryan. Thanks for responding😀

[@AndyI222]

Quite the approach!!

[@jasonnikolic]

Graceful as always!

[@triggerphingershooting]

Love your videos. I hope you can get one landing in Arkosame.

[@MichaelShaw_vk2hms]

Great video as always Ryan. It seems counterintuitive to me that you would be raising flaps just after touch down. I would have though the induced drag would aid with deceleration on roll out. I would guess that the tail wind pushing on the extra surface area would have a negative effect on braking?

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

It reduces lift and gets me on the ground sooner, giving me more available runway to use my brakes.

[@MichaelShaw_vk2hms]

@@MissionaryBushPilot I like your style!

[@CocoaBeachLiving]

I respect your process sir 👍

[@colins2]

Some of these airstrips are pretty amazing. Are they completely natural? The slope is understandable but they all seem so level on the horizontal that I'm guessing that there was some human interference to level them and then grass them over?

[@nocillis]

Yep. If some of these remote villages want a plane to land, theres a process to go through to get it cert. for landing approval. So clearing trees, grading land, maintaining the strip and other things before it can be approved.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

They were built by hand. Usually took 2-3 years to make them.

[@colins2]

@@MissionaryBushPilot Wow 2-3 years! Who built them (in general), the locals must have had a lot of outside assistance and I'm guessing that missionary funding doesn't run to that level.

[@tracer888]

Without AC and with your hot environmentals do you carry something like a small cooler that you can use to cool down your ipad (mine overheats like crazy with my GA flying)

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

No, because we climb up to 11-12000 and the cockpit cools off to around 75f

[@victorsierra4109]

Did u do flaps up right before touchdown or after?

[@dougarroyo794]

Hi Ryan, does the aircraft have a failsafe or warning if internal temperature gets to high or is it left up to the pilot watching gages not melt the fan blades.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

no failsafe, just a warning bell you have toasted your engine

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Thanks to the GPS. After you have seen the valley 10x, you start to see landmarks that set it apart from the others.

[@RnRTactics2012]

Based on your weight you set your takeoff and landing speed. Doesn't your landing speed change after a significant flight because your weight has decreased with the use of fuel?

[@nathanlau3275]

Sometimes it seems like your takeoffs are pretty boring, but these approaches and landings are crazy.

[@richardsuttill54]

The target on takeoff is always larger than on landing :-)

[@Soulvex]

Does the display have the acceleration/deceleration bar near the airspeed (little purple bar in msfs2020)?

[@robertmac5352]

Yes. The G1000 has trend indicators for both airspeed and altitude.

[@Soulvex]

@@robertmac5352 ah ok, is it switchable on the display? I couldn't see it here.

[@robertmac5352]

There is also a trend bar for bank. I can't remember if the trend bars are configurable. If it is, it would be in AUX/system either page 1 or 2. There are a whole bunch of configurable items on those 2 pages. I have never run into a situation where the trend bars aren't displayed.
