Its been 53 years since I left Madang to fly to Brisbane to continue schooling. I love these videos because it takes me back to some of the places I flew to as a kid. Different times, but I used to hitch hike through Papua New Guinea with any pilot that would let me ride along. Ryans flights allow me to be back there and yet enjoy his flights from the comfort of my ice cold air in USA Florida. My Dad worked for the Lutheran Mission. The Lutheran Mission and the Catholic Mission both had air service from Madang. My favorite pilot was Ray Jensch. Ray fought in the Battle of Britain and was truly an ACE. I can tell that New Guinea has advanced a lot into the technical age. Those old flights I had were mostly from the seat of the pants. Thank God electronics have advanced and help to preserve life and limb. It also helps to not have to pull tree branches out of the wheal wells when you land.

During this video, cargo securement you spoke of is a huge part of my world as I'm a truck driver pulling 8 axle (super B) with two trailers gross weigh around 63,500 kg. Concerning load securement; forward, vertical and rearward movement all being taken into account by our law by mandating certain requirements, Having hauled steel coils and drill stem among other large items, The initial tightness of and the properties of the material that make up the load securement device ei; chain or synthetic web can make a big difference the less momentum the load can achieve in relation to the deck it is secured to in the initial deceleration event the less likely of exceeding the breaking strength of the securement points and the device itself, more is always better! While I'm far from trying to explain your job which is a very dynamic environment there are certain similarities! Securement failed has been fatal in both industries. While properly secured loads stayed secured to the vehicle despite vehicles being destroyed. The best advice I was given as a young driver pulling flatdeck, a old timer said to me those chains that are hanging in your rack won't do a thing to help you in a wreck, take the time to meet and exceed the load tiedown limits by using them all may save your life or those around you! Again Best of Luck your doing a fantastic job with noble intentions! I have a great appreciation for the fact your taking the time to share your experiences with the rest of the world! Fly Safe! Sincerely, Jon Spencer Alberta, Canada.

Learned to fly back a few years ago (1957) and after I got out of college (in 1961)I was thinking about trying to become an MAF pilot.

[@Mikey1421985]

Hi, I am Michael Libby from Suriname South America. I don't have time to watch all of your videos but I do enjoy what I watch. A few days ago a small airplanes landing gear broke on landing. The airstrip is like the ones you fly to. I am not a pilot but from the information I get from your videos I think the airplane was overloaded and landed too slow for the weight it was carrying and the lost too much altitude to quick. I hope someday to be able to fly also. I have been in different airplanes, both big and small but to be able to fly ya need a lot of money. But trusting God to open doors if that is His will. I thank God for pilots like you, that make it possible for missionaries to bring the gospel in all parts of the world. We have MAF in Suriname also and I used to know some of the people there.

So far I have take off from woitape (Wtp) to Port Moresby (AYPY) this was on X-plane mobile in the Kingair single pilot light on fuel no cargo so around 9000lbs if I recall correctly taking off downhill of course engines to full power they will overpower the brakes/wheel traction once spun up with a short flight into Port Moresby I also did a flight in the SF-50 Vision jet(not really suitable as it needs around 1700 to stop and 2000 to get back out) but that's from memory reading literature And I just can't recall the air strips but I left from a towered and paved airport North north east of port moresby on the northeastern coast and took a short flight inland over a mountain ridge the Garmin 1000 showed it as a hard surface runway at least a few thousand feet but it was not paved and had gravel near the runway end I left it at that point as I was falling asleep lol I wish I had more that I could suggest but I am still just now in the exploration phase for Papua New Guinea ask again in a few months as I will gave had Time to get that Cessna 172sp into some of the tighter strips! I'm also open to any suggestions but it's really not to hard to spot the difficult strips just by looking at the chart. Best regards Jon Spencer Alberta, Canada

Also worth mentioning, the "live cargo" that has a tendency to move around under its own steam. If you are flying in a small aircraft, (or indeed any aircraft), keep yourself strapped in, unless you need to move about. If things slow down, speed up, or turn rapidly and you 'aint tied down, you too will go flying round the cabin with potentially disastrous consequences. Great content.

Great video! Like the safety focus. Love the extra external shots especially at the airstrip. Your cargo reminded me of something. Coffee trees grew well where I grew up in PNG. We had a grove out the back but I don't remember anyone harvesting ours. Us kids never ventured far in because it was a favourite home to Golden Orb spiders who had an annoying habit of placing their webs at head height so the spider itself was always sitting just out of sight above us. Anyway, we loved to pick the coffee berries at the edge of the grove when they turned red. We spat the skin out, ate the delicious flesh and spat out the seed/pip. I laugh now because although I had seen the locals laying out coffee beans on mats to dry and knew they would be bagged, sold and flown out on the Cessna, I somehow never connected that to the 'seeds/pips' we threw away or the coffee my dad drank every day.

[@shujaathussain6978]

That pull up warning make my neck hair stand up ....

[@cadmanchannel]

Thank you for the video. About the cargo restraint; the pounds to be restrained have to take into account the G force expected. Your cargo needs at least 10 times its weight in restraint. Example: I carry two motorcycles in my 1 ton van. Each weighs about 500 pounds. A survivable front impact might be between 10 to 20 Gs. So the steel fixtures (which extend above the front axle centerline) are bolted into the frame with (2) 1/2" grade 8 bolts (good for 18k lbs each in shear) along with a 3/8" chain through the rear wheel bolted to a fixture that is bolted to the frame should be good for 20k lbs of restraint each bike. The best straps you can buy will snap like twine in a crash. Chocks that do not extend above the axle centerline will not restrain the bike as it will jump over them.
