Flying from a Remote Mountain Airstrip to Papua New Guinea's Largest Airport

[@kennethperian4370]

Great job flying and landing RYAN, keep up the great work showing and telling see ya on the next flight or video see ya bye.

[@AvGeekPH_Skitman]

Its great how you keep us - your "passengers" informed of everything going on! Nice flight Capt

[@paullelys161]

Just amazing.

[@michaeless882]

In the 60s and 70s the NW end (Waigani Swamp) had a near intact P38 Lightning next to the lake. The SE end toward Bootless Bay had scrub which was LITTERED with ordinance from WWII and like typical kids we'd collect it all and keep it hidden in our rooms. One of my mates found a working Browning 30Cal which had been upright on its tripod and hence little to no rust.

[@garydell2023]

Have been watching your channel for a while. Like the different terminology for your patterns and in all the flying in your country. ForeFlight is a wonderful asset in any cockpit. Thank you for these instructive videos and your encouragement for Flight simulator enthusiasts to fly your routs.

[@Pappadumful]

Yay, the 360 degree camera has arrived!!

[@michaelfarnham8261]

Another great flight and really enjoyed the approach to Jackson's. I wasn't expecting him to fly over our old house in Gordon's.Thanks for bringing back some great memories.

[@742Timbox]

This is so cool. I love watching this never grows old. It would be even better if you can broadcast in 4K 60fps. But you are in 1080 though. I love this thanks don’t stop making videos it’s appreciated thanks.

[@richardcollecutt256]

Love your video and commentary, your comment about the kid standing in the prop wash brought back memories of my brothers, sisters and me doing exactly that behind the DC3s at Banz in the mid 1960s, my father was stationed there for a year or so when he was flying for MAF.

[@rodelcapul7453]

Another enjoyable ride. The landscape is indeed beautiful. Stay safe always, Ryan.

[@paulkluber164]

I’m in the production business. I understand a comment you made, about the time required to edit your twice weekly videos. Ignore the squeaky wheels and just enjoy your train, as it keeps picking up speed with new subscribers. The new cameras are really nice, compared to earlier. I especially like the new reference views you can give now, when describing the scenery below as you fly.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Thanks for the tips! It is pretty crazy how quickly the channel is growing. And I agree, I love the new cameras. I actually ordered them a few weeks after I started, but didn't get them in the mail until September.

[@MrPeterhemm]

Thanks again for the great content. Love the drone shot of your takeoff at 4:25!

[@zippymax1]

I hung out with some PNG missionaries when they were home for a stretch in Corvallis, OR in '85. New Tribes missionaries, I think. Definitely a different breed of human. Tough and gentle.

These glass cockpits must be so nice, better than pen and paper on your knee pad.I would rather the bush strips than Moresby. love your work, keep it up.

My niece is in grade 11 and has hopes of becoming a pilot, shared your channel with her and it's so inspirational for her, thanks for sharing your story via youtube

Redorse! Love it - I used to fly an airplane that had the last two letters of the tail number "WE." I don't know how many times either I or a controller called it "Whisker Echie."

The drone view of your departure - EPIC👍

[@barbhelle5481]

Thank you Ryan.

use to stand behind Air France 747 when it took off from a not to be named African nation airport. other than almost being brained a couple times by rocks it was great fun

[@4455zfactor]

Thanks Ryan, really nice flight, especially the valleys early in flight and nice to see Jacksons, odd to see the blue roofs on the left as i’ve only seen them on the right...RPT landing 14L.

[@marcdb1412]

Hi Ryan, when I look at the landscape, blue sky, clouds and green pastures, I wonder....are you in an heavenly place somewhere? Lucky you. Cheers.

[@holdfast7657]

Touched down in Port Moresby with the Army before flying to Lae end of 2019. Got to love these intimate airports.

[@michaelfarnham8261]

I was working for PNG defence force maintaining their gas appliances.This meant a lot of flying to the various barracks. We would have to be at Jacksons for 0.5.30 to get weight and the load master would put you into a seat,this was side saddle in an old DC3. This particular morning I was loaded along with 3 pigs which were going up the pig farm at wewak barracks.then a fault developed in an engine.We weren't unloaded but the temperature started to climb. The pigs got sprayed with water, but us humans had to put up with the temp reaching 40 degrees and the smell was unreal.This leg was Moresby to lea give me screaming kids to smelly pigs any day.

Flew into Moresby a few years ago in a Boeing 707, it has changed a bit....

[@1450JackCade]

Beautiful place! Hard to imagine flying there in a plane with lower performance capabilities.

I did it for a year, it takes lots of preplanning for weather and mountains.

"Redorse" - Reduce Torque....new word 😊

[@ryanpiawiya3990]

Love this video. I always wondered how Jacksons airport looked like, and finally got to see it. Thanks Ryan.

[@nocillis]

1:28 It's great feeling the prop wash and smelling the burnt Av Gas...ahhhh the wonderful memories :D 3:19 They're robably heading to the Liquid Natural Gas line project not far from KMA? Quite the money earner that LNG line ;) 14:50 I don't know how you managed to pick the info out of all that? It sounded like two radios going off at once. 20:14 Wow, that's a cool leg.

[@kitstter]

Another very enjoyable video and a spectacular country to fly in. Amazing that it's also possible for us viewers to fly the same routes in MSFS 2020!

The only 2 control airspace in PNG are Port Moresby and Nadzab. You would need ATC clearance to enter controlled airspace.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

yes, you have to get a clearance for both of them

Great video. Something different flying into a "busy airport". Interesting note about the lack of marked taxi ways. What incredible experience you've attained as a pilot flying in that region on so many levels. Truly enjoy the videos sir. Stay healthy.

[@homomorphic]

Oooh, flying NTE today, so the livery matches my flightsim :-)

[@scottsoper]

It is my guess that the Kodiak is better for PNG than the Cessna 208. I can not nail down the amount of runway the Cessna 208 uses because I get a different number each time. However it is my guess that Cessna overstates how short it gets off the ground. I have no doubt that empty one can get it off in 1399 feet or 1160 feet depending on which model, however that is not normal operations. I found a recent accident report of a Cessna 208 (which will not come up right now) in PNG going off the runway! The runway was about 1574 feet long so that leaves vary little room! Most of the time you have the Kodiak off the runway in short order even on these short runways. It seems you have a comfortable amount of room with the Kodiak!

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Yes, if you are referring to the MAF caravan wreck, it was pilot error.

[@scottsoper]

@@MissionaryBushPilot The accident report came up this AM aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=20200319-0 It does not really say much.....pilot error, what kind of pilot error? I think with that airplane all one would have to do is land just a bit farther up the runway than planned and OOPS off the other end you go! You make it look easy in the Kodiak. You seem to land just where you want within a few feet, that is skill! Keep an eye out for some of these other operators (they are not missionary ones) there seems to be two or so that are having more than their share of accidents/incidents in PNG! What did they do to harden the surface at Mibu Airstrip?
