Flying SINGLE PILOT IFR in the Mountains of Papua New Guinea | Kodiak 100 Bush Pilot Flight Vlog

[@Alex_BF]

I'm so sad when he says "I hope you guys enjoyed" meaning that's the end of the video! :D Safe flights

[@AmerigoMagellan]

When Ryan lands, it's the end of the video. On some rare occasions, he lands and then almost immediately takes off again.

[@TengwarTeacher]

I flew this exact same flight tonight in MSFS2020. Once I got out of the mountain area I didn’t realize how long it was over the flat part near the coast. But I finally made it and landed on the same runway as you here. Thanks for your videos!

[@tomscapes]

Ryan, you and Steveo in Florida are my absolute favourite aviation channels. Keep up the absolute professionalism you both produce. I love these videos. Keep safe, from New Zealand.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Great to hear. Feel free to share my videos on your social media. It helps the channel grow.

[@stephenhayes8168]

Haha that's funny... I mentioned Steveo to Ryan yesterday too... And I couldn't agree more. This channel is every bit as good and the content/location/scenery is different enough to keep both channels in top spot in my books 👏👏👏👏

G'day Ryan. Been watching for a little while now and just subscribed. I am enjoying the aerial views of the country as much as the flying. My Dad flew many of these New Guinea routes in the late 40's up until he died in his DH84 at Togoba in 1955. I have great memories of those times as I flew with him quite a few times as a young child. It really was the only way to get around New Guinea in those days. Some of the airfields are significantly advanced from then e.g. Goroka, Mt Hagen etc but many of the "bush" strips still look the same. I have just retired from spending almost 32 years as a Avionics LAME with the RFDS SE Section out of Broken Hill and still retain the excitement inherent in aviation. Especially the sort of thing you are doing. Keep posting for us and stay safe.

[@CessSim]

Learning heaps from you which helps me with my C172 G1000 setup. Thanks again. Jason

[@gym_bob]

I don't understand alot of what you talk about but it makes me appreciate the huge amount of training you need to go through in order to think as quickly as you do about all the different aspects of flying a plane specifically in navigating a mountainous region, like you do! I really enjoy the scenery. Many thanks for sharing and God Bless you and your mission!

It's great seeing these videos, I grew up in Wewak, used to fly in to school via the MAF back in the day.

Its a beautiful place, thats for sure

[@retrodad6864]

Love this! As an old flight sim guy these are quite inspirational. Keep them coming. Thanks Ryan.

[@jc59jc]

Hello Captain, First of all thank you for what you do. I am just a home flight simmer that loves bush aircraft and fly into small airports. Your videos are excellent and instructional. Kodiak is one of my favorite bush aircraft and have someone like you go through the proper steps to operate this wonderful aircraft, is very exciting. Your teachings bring another level of immersion to a simmer that really wants to learn the Kodiak. Please be as detailed as you possibly can. Looking forward to many more of your videos and rich content. THANKS

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Awesome to have you here. There are a lot of sim pilots out there. Consider checking out my Patreon page. I post sim flights that you can do of the same flights I make videos on. I'm in the process of getting some bush locations made for x plane as well.

Great flying and commentary. Last flew in an Australian Nomad twin engine from Goroka to Wewak in 1978. We got caught in a storm near Mt Willhelm which was exciting to say the least. Keep up the videos they are great.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

yeah the storms here in PNG can be pretty bumpy and uncomfortable!

[@ianw3294]

Would be nice to see a video to Madang if you do that trip - My favourite spot in PNG or used to be.

[@jm-xh4yz]

Love these vlogs. I would really enjoy a full circuit when you go to places like Wewak and back to Goroka. Keep being awesome!

[@warrenheslip692]

Fantastic. Similar terrain to parts if Fiordland we fly in.

At 1:25 I noticed 22 degrees again today, then later it dropped to 20. Also 22 minute video. So many 22s. 😉

Ryan great early morning flight. I hope you were able to get your passengers back in time.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

I did!

[@sulamabdelsamie3743]

Wow. I enjoyed watching it right through to the end. What a beautiful morning trip. It kind of reminded me of a similar flight route that me and 3 other trainee teachers in 1981 flew in with MAF from Goroka to Awaba Secondary School situated on the Fly River in Western PNG. It was more intense but on a clear and sunny mid afternoon that basically was nothing else to see except crystal , white clouds which consumed 3/4 of the flight time. An excellent flight though with a missionary pilot with great experience who flew around some of the remoteness areas of PNG in his fellowship with the people. . You are doing a great job and It gives me the pleasure of watching your videos from my adopted country, Australia now. God bless you.

[@ericg69er]

Thanks again Ryan, improving exponentially. Cheers, Eric.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Thanks, I have plans to make them even better as time goes on. I have some cool ideas once my editing skills match my ideas 😉

[@codytcas]

Really glad I found your channel. I'm also a bored airline guy sitting at home on voluntary leave through July. Living vicariously through your videos for now, haha! The flying you do looks amazing. Looks a tad bit more adventurous than sitting at cruise for four or five hours :) When things calm down, if you do ever change your mind and want to go the airline route, you'll blow your competition in the interview away with your "tell me about a time..." stories!

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Thanks for stopping by. That's a bummer your not flying right now. We are flying about 1 time a week as is, and I'm going stir crazy! I don't have much of a desire to do airlines, but who knows.

Hello bush pilot, again a nice video. I appreciate any explanation you give during the flight. Especially using your glass cockpit for navigation and flight settings. Very interesting for me as a user of a standard six-pack and Ipad with Skydemon. Keep it up.

[@tomhocking5606]

This is my dream job here so its absolutely incredible the insights we can get through these vlogs!! I was also wondering if you would consider actually vlogging with the passengers, it would be great to meet some of the missionaries and how they react to flying in the mighty Kodiak. You're an inspiration mate, doing the Lord's work. Cheers from down under

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

I've thought about it, but I think i'm not going to add any passengers.

I never thought about that. That's a good idea. I'll have to go look up the exact definition so I don't lead people down the wrong path 😀
