LANDING into a BLACK HOLE on the Side of a Mountain

[@longflare]

The combination of extraordinary scenery and complicated technicalities, sells this nicely

[@SpunKyUniCORN]

Wow, amazing approach and landing! I'm currently completing my CPL and we just covered Visual Illusions under Human Factors. I noticed a few of them on this approach, the obvious one you mentioned, Black Hole Approach, but also the Runway Slope Illusion from the slight down slope, and also the Terrain Slope Illusion with low terrain sloping up to the threshold. All of these mess with a pilots ability to perceive the correct glide slope and know whether they are below or above it. It really goes to show that approaches like this just confirms that you're a bloody amazing pilot Ryan! Honestly, PNG is arguably one of the hardest environments for pilots to operate in and you make it look like a walk in the park, it's bloody awesome.

[@ChorkieDad]

THAT was the most EXCITING landing I've seen you do! I was on the edge of my seat and didn't see the runway until your wheels were on it! Thank you for the thrill!

[@kpeecee]

8:25 definitely awesome

Дякую за відео , дуже гарно ! 👍👍👍💛💛💛💙💙💙

[@robtebay1]

Excellent landing, Ryan. You have such a demanding job. Brilliant.

[@luisreis3202]

The best views I ever seen! This is the reason you pilots never get bored when flying!!! Unless a quite arid country (in Africa?) you have so many nuances during a flight. Dawn at my opinion produces the best images that will fill our memories

[@stephenwheeler8628]

You had one of the most amazing views from your "office" in the world. Another spectacular video! I enjoyed the slightly different part at the beginning in the hangar and office, too. I hope you have a great 4th of July!

[@iang.8601]

First light flights out of Goroka ,spectacular views, a little fog& cloud to make it interesting. Great approach, smooth landing. Thanks for the ride Ryan & another great video.

[@thomashammett6851]

A natural Ace. Well done. Thanks a million (non cash, unfortunately). May God bless you richly in the days ahead; both you and yours. Thomas

[@cj4freedom856]

What a challenge, to approach a runway almost in the sun, nice how clear the wing camera picked up the soft landing. The best thing, your passengers were waiting.

[@nzmeateater]

Gday from NZ , really enjoy your vids, very professional, What a great job in a beautiful country. Thanks for sharing👍

[@tonylynn7972]

Hey my brother Ryan another awesome trip with you again & good morning too you & your family. Awesome view 👍

Wish i could pick a short straw like that. Awesome flight Ryan 👍Ty for taking us along

[@jasontipton8430]

It's a gorgeous view I love sunrise

[@garycook5125]

Beautiful morning flight.

[@JohnJonelis]

Try a baseball cap. The bill has always helped me when driving into the sun because it's quick and automatic to adjust the angle--much better than an opaque window visor. All you've got in the plane is a transparent visor, which is almost useless.

[@deaustin4018]

I listened to Neil Armstrong landing on the moon a bit ago, then watched Ryan landing on the side of a mountain. Put the equation together and I don't think Ryan would have any problem landing on the moon.

[@JDHood]

Hoo boy! A bit of a pucker factor there! But your landing was Smooooth!

[@MOV1983]

Impressive! Man of skill and courage.

[@mcivordawn9105]

Absolutely fantastic Ryan. What a beautiful flight…….Roger

[@dougbourdo2589]

Utterly Beautiful locations.

[@jonviol]

Excellent upload-content -presentation and some clever editing on the landing . Your skills here and sheer bravery are gripping to watch . What an office to work in!!! Thanks Jonny (Shropshire UK )

[@nickpapagiorgio5056]

Absolutely stunning views and flight Ryan! Your landing was epic and the drone footage of the area and being able to see the villagers was very amazing indeed! What an amazing place to live that is truly another world. 🙏🏼🙏🏼💙💙

So different with the oblique light! thanks, Ryan.

[@turtlekoff1]

Another great video showing all the good you do for the people of PNG. Well done as always Ryan.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@bgtube1260]

Amazing Ryan. Seems you have mastered the landing techniques whatever the circumstances are. Great going. Keep it up.....

[@paulmcdonald9592]

So professional. Thanks.

[@stevethul1]

Almost forgot something, you will have to thank the ramp marshal for the help. Great stuff.

[@sgd5k292]

Yeah, I wonder what that "Remove Before Flight" tag was protecting? If I were the ramp marshal, I would have waited and made sure Ryan acknowledged me and let him know that I would do a final walk around inspection, just in case.

[@kam70111]

Thank you, Ryan. Beautiful ride.

[@tradjazzer]

thanks, for a wonderful video, great flight as usual by you. take care of yourself

[@bermripper]

This video is amazing. This must be one of the most difficult landings I have ever seen. You make it sound easy but I am sure it is not. You are just a great aviator.

Nice one Ryan. Incredible scenery when you can see it! Thanks again

this needs to be a landing challenge in MSFS

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

it would be a good one

@@MissionaryBushPilot whole flight is better, saw the black hole and found another 2x strips down the river in the sim.

Another great video Ryan! God bless you on your current endeavours ! ! ! ( From north of the 42nd/49th )

[@tomriley5790]

Wow impressive approach into there! Great work! Well done! Nice drone shots too!

[@Woodduck1]

Another seat cushion button clencher of an approach Ryan! You sure get to fly into some exciting airstrips!

[@alexanderirungu5626]

This another one of the most difficult work.

[@shannonpaine3444]

I love how you do your approaches 😊

[@mrsaskriders]

Man I really like this video. The explanation at the beginning and the filming was pretty cool. I can imagine if the sun was a little higher it would have been brutal if not impossible.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

yes, you have a window to get out there, or you have to wait a while longer to try again when the sun is up higher

[@sandybanjo]

Nice job, Brother!

[@karstenkather1858]

great

Like how you show a short clip of the paperwork’s and early rising. Not the Best part, But the reward is unbeatable!

To fly a modern turbine….flying the old pistons and big turbines without the modern electronics…wow…I flew pure raw data…love my Airbus now..cheers!

[@dkoleary88]

Beautiful vid. What headset do you use in flight?

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

clarity aloft

[@chrispy104k]

Great video Ryan. How's things going back in the US?

[@mouser485]

Ryan, why retract flaps right as you touchdown ? Is that to increase braking ?

[@HikaruKatayamma]

Flaps actually do act as air breaks (secondary effect). I suspect that with the runway being sloped the way it is, he did it to reduce lift, giving the wheels more authority.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

When you retract the flaps it helps loose lift letting you get down on the ground just a bit quicker, especially when the runway slopes down on touchdown

[@HikaruKatayamma]

@@MissionaryBushPilot Yes! Nailed it!😁

[@mouser485]

@@MissionaryBushPilot Thank you Ryan ! I’m used to flying a 172/182 and just never raised my flaps at that point in the landing process so I was curious. Of course I land on nice, wide, paved, flat runways and never have to deal with terrain you deal with. Thanks for taking the time to explain !

[@andrewj7994]

are they Cresco's in front of you?

[@jrod_pilot_miami]

Awesome video. I know you call out "committed" but if you had to abort the landing, doesn't look like many good options. Do you ever practice go-arounds at this airport?

[@BarryBangemout]

Hi Ryan, I enrolled in the online Kodiak course. It's awesome! :) Regarding MSFS, Besides the livery, do you have a replica of the Kodiak ? The stock 208 Caravan is quite different.

[@774Rob]

If this landing is in Switzerland I'm worried.

Do you ever fly into the Kora Valley?

[@nemesisone8927]

bit of crappy ATC these guys there lol id go nuts Best job in the whole world!!!

[@troms0418]

I have a quick question Ryan, every time you land at a small airstrip you always contact ATC and say your call sign followed by ‘cancel SAR’. Is this a cancellation of a standby search and rescue team or something similar to that?

[@jnbennett6496]

what is the name and code for this airport, i am going to try and land on it in my flight sim lol

you said you stop flying and move away. what happend to this idea?

He's previously said he has enough unpublished content to keep posting video's for about another year. So all these new video's are actually not recent flying.

Hi there! Thanks for these great videos. I have a question. There is a usable section above High Idle detent on Condition lever. What is it for? Can you explain briefly? Best regards.

[@robertmcmurry3509]

In the aircraft, the high idle setting is preset and cannot be changed from the cockpit. I don't recall any usable section above high idle.
