[@jpm1211]

You're pretty amazing man -- think nothing of landing in a cow pasture on the side of a mountain 4 times a day, but then even when you face a stressful IFR with RNAV guidance and ARIS, you make it look so easy. That's the mark of a pro! Thanks for sharing your work with us.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Thanks 👍

[@Glowbox3D]

Incredible to be able to watch this kind of content. These are some serious pilot skills. This guy goes to oxygen bars and snorts ginko biloba.

[@freedomforever6718]

Definitely a bit spooky but a very professionally executed approach. Thanks, Ryan.

[@jmabs5096]

It doesn't get much better then the feeling of a new video from Ryan! Kids/wife are in bed, relaxing on the after long day of work with a cold one for maximum relaxation! Cheers from Eastern Tennessee!

[@Mrbuckaroonie..]

I love looking down on certain views and seeing the incredible rivers and waterfalls. Amazing country.

[@davemaccarter64]

That was about as good as it gets demonstrating how busy a single pilot IMC approach can be. Very challenging. Lots of views from the front and also of the instruments at the same time. Modern displays and autopilot reduce the workload a bit from hand flying that approach, but hey this isn't 1974. Great job recording and flying!

[@thevirtualcockpit5001]

That was a text book IFR lesson Ryan. I'm still learning glass cockpit, but have come to really appreciate the G1000 visuals and information. Still...inside the ping pong ball till short final gets the pulse going. Super thankful for this instruction sir.

[@stephenhicks826]

Crikey, that is really flying - amazing proficiency.

[@BillySBC]

Man the place you are flying in takes a whole lot of confidence to do, much respect. I would be all over my airplane checking every single system up and down before I decided to fly, you don't want a failure over that terrain.

[@martinschwaikert5433]

The point about aviation: you should make the exact same effort for every flight. Either its a 10 minute or 3 hour flight.

[@bernardanderson3758]

Hey Ryan this flight was professionally done and I enjoyed the experience

[@revengejr]

That was probably one of my favorite landings I've seen you do. Usually it's just those bush runways but watching you land a "normal" approach was fun and a nice break. Plus going through the soup. Nice landing. 🙂

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

Lump in the throat time for sure on that ILS approach and landing. Nicely done!

[@Thrust-Set-Simulations]

Cool little waterfall on the right just after takeoff. 🤗

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Yes, you are right, it's huge

[@maddiethomas5892]

Hi, Mr. Ryan. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@bettykuyei9172]

I'm an avid follower. On Saturday, I met your daughter at Jackson's airport last Saturday. Such a sweetheart. During our conversation, she told me her dad is a bush pilot and has a KZbin channel. Immediately I said, hang on, I subscribed to his channel. I showed her and we both laughed, and she was grateful I subscribed.

[@Kingfisher83]

Wowee! Nice work playing the conditions and getting in. I just finished IFR ground school and getting into the sim sessions for my rating, so it's nice to see how it plays out in real life.

[@patriot7083]

Wow! Thank you for the instrument approach to minimums. That was awesome.

[@patrickheavirland3599]

Good morning from Minnesota USA! Great episode!

[@v1rotait23]

Superb flying and decision making getting into Nadzab from 10k. Everything happening in a short distance. Cheers from NZL, David

[@oelph]

Fantastic once again Ryan

[@LucasCarter111]

Very nice landing - love watching a pro do his thing - be safe 👍

[@davedave5457]

awesome work mate, as a commercial pilot for 25 years, you a truly a professional in every aspect of your work, outstanding.

[@JC-dt4jq]

Hey, Ryan. God surely was watching over you on this flight. Felt like being blind-folded. Scaaaaary!!!

[@miggybluesky]

I had just found out about this channel. Great work! It's like I'm in that flight with you for real and learning as we go. Thank you!

[@MrNice-gw5dt]

great flight Ryan ...thanks for the ride!

[@daviddreyfuss2453]

I admire your precision and narrative that makes flying understandable to non-pilot enthusiasts like me.

[@johnporter5828]

Nice approach ! When I learned IFR, it was in a C 172 with no autopilot. Was busier than a one armed paperhanger....

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

yeah, I did all my IFR training in a Cessna 152 with no GPS or auto pilot.

[@BongoloPilot]

Hey Ryan, you mentioned that you were expediting on this flight and made the call NOT to take any coffee or other items so that you could focus on the needs of the missionaries. Can you share more about this? Does your company give you flexibility to make these types of call? Perhaps you can share about more how you go through these decisions and the implications? Thanks! Keep up the great work!

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Yes, thankfully whatever decision I make is the final call with no one contesting it. Whether is be weather, if I fly passengers or cargo. At this place we help out the community when we can, it our main focus and reason we are doing these flights is to get the missionaries their needed supplies to build their houses

[@jamesbrown3358]

Well done

[@jeffreybryner1196]

Amazing ride Ryan. Thank you. I could sense your relief(and exhilaration just a few seconds after 😉)when the Runway Environment came into view just about at mins. Also, excellent job bleeding of that extra energy on the landing. Getting from 90+ vs 60+ on the landing takes a lot of skill (wet runway too).

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

It's always a relief seeing the runway when you don't have extra fuel

[@rabh6746]

Stressful flight Ryan but handled professionally as always👍Even got to do some bird scaring duties😂

[@julianwelz4450]

Hello Ryan, great work and I'm glad to see, how you managed this RNAV APP on 09, cause I feel vindicated in my RNAV APP Simulating in XPLane 11/12 doing it right. 😉 And yes, flying solo IFR Flights and approaches is a lot of work indeed. I'm momentarily in the region Canada British Columbia and US Alaska with a Cessna 172 on Floats - very interesting thing and much to learn again after hundret hours on Airbus and Eclipse NG550. Always happy landings to you 😊

[@TomP-nw4wu]

Outstanding control. Greetings from Texas.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Thank you very much!

[@NathanElcoate]

Awesome work Ryan.

[@rappermusician]

wow good to see you do that

[@stuntcc]

That was def a sick one

[@SEAHORSE669]

You are an amazing Pilot!

[@user-ml2dg9yt4e]

Amazing! Watched it twice.

[@can5projects563]

Nice video and im glad to see you back

[@76guzzi78]

Wow! I'm not a pilot but that was pretty intense mate, well done!!!

[@garylucas6511]

I very much enjoyed the IFR approach and landing

[@ramoneortiz]

Great video as always. Keep them coming. Greetings from Las Vegas, NV.

[@colinmcintosh6434]

Would love to visit PnG especially Goroka, but a long journey from Ireland.

[@tningal]

You can make it. I am in Ireland but visit home once every couple of years and spend much of the time in Goroka where Ryan is operating from :)

[@colinmcintosh6434]

@@tningal Would love to meet you.

[@mikebarnett1908]

Hey Ryan, thank you for all that you do for the missionaries. Love to see you in action.. True professional !. Keep up the great work and keep the Videos coming..

[@markstoll9636]

great job. great content. thank you

[@tallboy49]

Watching you handle this weather makes me wonder how the pilots of ww2 got along without the aid of gps etc. You have to hand it to them they were fantastic pilots and navigators with only maps ,a compass and a protractor with a watch to guide them.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

That's why so many of them crashed in PNG. They got caught in IMC conditions, in a VRF only plane, with very little navigation stuff to work with

[@GregiiFlieger]

Nerves of steel! Excellent job!

[@Woodduck1]

The G1000 certainly relieves a lot of the workload in those conditions Ryan!

[@timofthomas]

I heard about the autopilot descent in quite a bit of detail on an accident review video by a well known airline pilot instructor...helped make sense of what you were explaining.

[@rexfordluke1480]

Thanks Ryan 💯

[@comanchepilot5766]

Awesome!! Thanks for another great vid.

[@beedonn9260]

That was a good one, I enjoyed that thank you❤😊

[@bacca71]

Outstanding!

[@cravn777]

Nailed it!!!

[@mg0109]

Awesome Ryan!

[@bravohorn5]

Always look forward to new videos, and this one did not disappoint....

[@wewk584]

Nice video. Cool to see some IFR ops

[@Guspech750]

That was a great and intense video🤟👌🤟👌🤟👌

[@horse12100]

Great video!

[@kon-jakub]

Well done! I love your videos!

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Glad you like them!

[@sidewinder666666]

Huh, something odd with the camera on the starboard wing. It was showing a faint double image for the tire, the runway marker lines, and a couple other things. (But it wasn't doing that for everything.) 🤔

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

That's 360 cameras for you

[@jeffhamilton9453]

Nice job!

[@SailingMalie]

Awsome Ryan

[@greenthing99100]

Superb Ryan, high order decision-making and flying skill. thank you, God bless

[@captainprairie5790]

That was a cool vid bruh!

[@MartyBecker]

As I am watching this video, I can see NTZ descending into Goroka fron the northwest on ADS-B Exchange.

[@suttonmatthew]

Nice approach and landing. Superb

[@OhMySack]

Perfect content, Ryan. Though a retired PPL, I'm hitting about 60 hrs in the K100 on sim and am sponging all I can and your 'hands on' with the G1000 is very reinforcing. Just bought your Kodiak tutorial and blowing through that. I wish we had ALL the bells and whistles available on the G1000 but it gets it done.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Have fun!

[@paulcollier7138]

Impressive. Your channel is a must watch!

[@davetearle364]

Thanks Ryan for sharing your RNAV approach under difficult circumstances. I shall be flying that in Xplane now I've seen an expert do it.

[@Chris73619]

One of the best videos from you Ryan, thanks for doing such a fantastic job and being awesome!

[@CheerfulCamera-nj8ow]

Ryan Bravo You’re amazing all that work load and narrating the video at the same time assume My best wishes always from Las Vegas craig

[@Aran2323]

Great video! And unless I'm mistaken, this is your first big sponsor, right? Congrats!

[@kevchilton908]

Well played Sir! Excellent decision making and flying 👌🏻

[@lhunter325]

Hi, Great video. What is that wheel next to your right leg? Also, you speak of the igniters….What are they. Have you ever experienced engine failure…..In the terrain you fly in is unforgiving. I am impressed with your skill…I’d fly with you anywhere. Regards Les

[@andyboddy62]

What a pilot x

[@scheusselmensch5713]

I think you need to recalibrate your “heart-pounding” threshold

[@barryhoneycutt3894]

Nice Ryan, keep the blue side up Brother :) ❤💯🙏

[@jmtiptonengland]

Hi Ryan, great skills, brilliant flying - John G-BBKZ

[@777driver7]

Hey Ryan, just interested to know why you fly a level segment on this approach. Is it a function of coding or the G1000 etc? In airline flying, when fly a RNP approach to LNAV/VNAV minima we fly a CDA (constant descent angle) approach so that it approximates an ILS for simplicity. Cheers from a ropey old 777 Capt 🤠

[@kevinfergusson8239]

Very well done. Not for the feint hearted. Keep safe.😊

[@jeffl1944]

Kool do more ifr

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

More is coming in the near future

[@Smitty-ko1eg]

I can't imagine trying to fly that without auto pilot

[@jimmer6134]

Hey Ryan, I was wondering if you yell “clear” or “clear prop” before starting your engine? Anyway do you even need to do that or is that just for piston engines and is that actually a law or is it just good practice? Anyway thanks Ryan I love the videos and I love to see your passion and skill your share with us of aviation and the incredible landings you perform on a daily basis. It is so cool!

[@ivoryjohnson4662]

What does minimums actually mean? Is it the lowest you can go before you can climb out for go around? Figured you could touch and go if you needed to

[@kon-jakub]

Minimum is the lowest one can descend without visual contact with the ground/runway.

[@MKKim-gz2qh]

Hello~ I am a subscriber who enjoys watching your videos. I have a question. May I know what are the buttons on the dashboard? Are these switches that tell you the checklist items? I hope you have a safe and enjoyable flight at all times.

[@rupke77]

Naisz again

[@ClaudiusFranz]

hey man, fantastic chanel. i have a question. I saw you use Windy in another vid, so you must really trust that, or is it just the best weather forecast you have there? It was also very off in that vid. I have had times, where it was so off compared to the official German aviation forecast, I came to not use it anymore as my primary source, just overall stuff. How is your experience with it?

[@DanielIznaga]

🔥🔥🔥

[@dalemullins4562]

morning good to you too lol

[@david.b4186]

@8.17; Wow, so do the 20degrees extra flap generate extra lift in order to actually allow aircraft to climb at steeper angle of Vx and thus clear obstacle quicker - is that the reasoning there ? I ask this because, when training in my Flight School days, I was taught a certain amount of flaps themselves would give extra lift when wanting to clear obstacles, however I didn’t know that flaps could also be used in another purpose role so as to allow for steeper climb angle itself to be maintained.

[@b1llb3llamy]

is the Vx only for when you have flaps down and prop up? and conversely does the Vy only apply when you're in 0 flaps and rpm down?

[@IrishDave]

Do airlines in America accept hours flown as a missionary overseas if you wanted to fly for them back home?

[@globalnomad450]

Interesting you temp correct your minima down in hot temps? We correct when below 0° but never reduced down…. Is this normal in that part of the world ?

[@LarryWeinheimer]

With such a severe downward slope, are tail strikes an issue?

[@jdl2327]

What’s with the yellow bars on the glideslope?
