Know exactly what you’re doing- flew mostly Fokker jets plus the infamous Dash 7 for their PNG National flag carrier there for a total of 20 years. I’m sure you know this tip but.. I used it all the time ( this from a level flight situation) …”am I going to make it over that ridge line in the distance ??.. “ answer.. if you are gradually seeing more of the country beyond the ridge-yes, carry on you’ll clear it-if less- no you won’t - quite obvious I know but I was bemused by how many new-to-PNG pilots thought it was a pearl of great secret wisdom I giving them lol. Great videos- a lot of editing and other work to produce each one I’m sure. Great work.

[@kevinfergusson8239]

Just proves that manual control is essential. Knowing the aircraft is critical. Well done Ryan.😊

[@johnsenetto7935]

Beautiful airplane!! Your passengers must be accustomed to high descent rates , 850 -900 would cause some aches for my passengers. Great job!

[@v1rotait23]

A super interesting flight trying to to out-climb the climb rate of the granite, Ryan! I wonder what angle of bank is required to achieve a Kodiak max-rate turn under yellow temp power settings?! Probably close to 90 degrees? Not done with fare paying passengers on board, I might add! I used to always enjoy CPL max performance takeoffs and Vx climbouts in the little Cherokee 140 bug-smashers, barely climbing like an elevator! Too long ago now... Cheers, David

[@Running_Hammer]

Hi Ryan, I've been following your channel for a little while and really enjoy your content, it's opened my eyes to a new part of the world, so thank you! I also replicate your flights in MSFS flight sim as I'm sure many others do. This one is REALLY tricky! The performance is off a little I think, from the real aircraft. I made it over the mountain on 3rd attempt with inches to spare. Followed by a stall and crash. I'll keep trying but I won't give up my day job. 🤣

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Yeah the flight sims don't ever get the performance of the planes right

[@michaely7644]

I love your channel man. I am learning so much from you. Thanks man! I am working on the CFI rating now! With your videos, I am sure to be a better pilot overall!

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

great to hear

[@batsell582]

Ryan, just curious if you know for what reasons some of the souls onboard fly to that location? I know that’s cheap but wouldn’t think they could afford that very often without a very good purpose. Heck I couldn’t afford it myself here in the states.

[@gerardvandervoort]

Sporty Ryan ;-)

[@ivoryjohnson4662]

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Thanks a lot!

[@emiliogarciatoledo1888]

Hi Ryan! awesome video, i have a question, why you don´t retract the flaps on the climb to reduce drag?, i think if you clean the airfold you will gain more altitude in minor distance

[@helifenix]

Hello Ryan. Could you improve your CG (more to the center) if you move your passengers to the forward seats? Have a Safe Flight. ✋🏻

[@threadripper979]

He said why he wanted the CG toward the rear - to help the nose get off the ground easier.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

I could, but I wanted more of an aft CG so the weight is off the nose wheel in the tall grass. It also helps with rotate on sloped runways to have an aft CG

[@mikebarnett1908]

An absolutely great video! Love how you talk us through everything that you are dealing with. We can learn a lot. Keep up the good work.

[@gavinsheridan4680]

Kids, there are three ways to do things, the right way, the wrong way, and the Max Power way. Dad, isn’t that just the wrong way? Yes, but FASTER.

[@likeke9]

Thanks for talking through your thinking. Do you have an instrument rating??

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Yes I do have an instrument rating

[@williampreiss]

Hey Ryan, great video as always ! I was just wondering why you're climbing at Vx instead of Vy ? Since it takes you a few minutes to clear the obstacle would'nt be better to climb at Vy ? thanks in advance for your explanation. Fly safe !

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Good question. The reason it because I was trying to fly in a straight line and clear the ridge. So Vx gets you the most altitude in the shortest distance, that's why I chose to go with Vx

[@nbrettoner]

22:18 Hi Ryan, That bombing run; was it in B24's??. I think while researching I came across such an inland approach probably from Morseby?. In fact they might have started from QLD and refuelled/topped up in Morseby?.. I tried it in I think P3D flight Sim at the time. It was doable but quite exciting. 🙃😁

@@MissionaryBushPilot Thanks Ryan, B29's ? I forget.An amazing achieve ment. 💚

[@billferrol4202]

Notwithstanding the app's programming, I am very uneasy that there is no cross-checking of weight accuracy when kg and lb are used together! As an ex-C130 pilot, I had an issue in a combat zone where urgency was needed, the load was manifested in lbs but actually in kgs therefore it was almost 2.5 times as heavy. Fortunately, it was not a max weight performance take-off but the aircraft's performance was not what was expected but the C130 coped. At our destination, we had the load check weighed and it was confirmed kg and not lb.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

you would think it would be a problem, but kg and lbs are just a number. We weigh everything in kg, so when we put it it, it's automatically kg. When we fuel, we have an app that convers our lbs to liters. It's really not that hard and in 9 years, we have never made the mistake of putting someones weight in lbs when it was supposed to be kg.
