The MOST STRESSFUL & WORST LANDING of 2021

[@topilot]

You rock, Ryan! The experience that you have flying in PNG has been amazing. To be able to share your flights on KZbin and to be a member of the club has been great.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Thanks for sharing and supporting the channel

[@harryspeakup8452]

That's one of your best yet from the point of view of decision-making and problem solving. Great job.

[@pilotpeego1820]

Hey Ryan, I love the fact that you thought through the procedure, and delayed before committing to land. Great job. Hey Brad, you need to watch this video multiple times.

[@davidbjornstad7759]

Just goes to show the value of experience. And every pilot has a bouncy landing once in a while. Thanks for the ride-along.

[@trumpetmano]

I really appreciate your video's. My Grandfather was a Bush Pilot in Liberia back in the 60's and 70's and I have a good friend who flew for 'Air America' during the Vietnam War and all their stories they've told me over the years of hairy landings, bizarre cargo and sketchy airfields really comes to life for me watching you fly- thank you for sharing.

[@robfive2555]

Never gets boring ... Thx Ryan ...

[@allanwhite8422]

Ryan you are an excellent instructor, flying in PNG is certainly a challenge, passing on your knowledge to a new pilot is done so professionally.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Wow, thanks!

[@txnetcop]

I was told by my CFI that any landing I walk away from in rough terrain is a good one! So great job...

[@petedenton9434]

Looks like hard work - and well executed. Never let perfect get in the way of 'good enough'...

[@danschreck834]

from here it looked great, good show keep up the good work, be safe!

[@MaShcode]

Geez, Brad gets all the fun trips. 😱 Some of those cliffs are insanely sheer.

[@gregcleeve6810]

Persistence and experience accounts for everything..well done Ryan.

[@fireflyrobert]

Ryan you got it down safely, well done! Any landing you can walk away from is a good one. Any landing after which you can fly the aircraft again is a great one! You earned your money on this one.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Thanks 👍

[@bcrazyyeti]

A real nail biter! But it was cool to watch you handle the adverse conditions smoothly. Well done!

[@TheSeakr]

Amazing display of skill and composure Ryan. Good stuff

[@Fainkom]

Precise and patience, this is why you treat every flight differently, regardless of your experience, that's what you showed in this flight Ryan, bravo.. Putting aside ones ego saves lives.. PS: Just realized, I guess must be some work putting the videos together from all the camera angles..

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

thanks for watching

[@matskarlsson8545]

@@MissionaryBushPilot Nice video. Is that a Kodiak and does it require two pilots? All Part 135 Caravan operations here in the U.S are single pilot.

[@ursmuller3704]

Thanks Ryan for this great flight to Aibai starting over the beautiful landscape of the Goroka valley and the mountains covered with trees. Awesome were the challenging clouds leading to an exciting approach and safe landing. God bless!

[@V8JOHNNY]

I concur with Brad, you had "a little bit working against you". You're a fine pilot Ryan. Kind regards John.

[@deanwoolston4794]

You can never be too careful, when you're landing an airplane, in less than perfect conditions. Well done!

[@kevinscudamore2711]

You make that look so easy 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@rstphil]

I was just watching, but I could feel the tension in me. Thanks. - from the Philippines.

[@aviator_thomas]

You're so self-critical! 😆 That landing was a good one, I think! Not as absolutely beautiful as your others, but come on… buzzer just before touch down… Well done. 👌

[@floridanews8786]

Man, you never cease to amaze me with your piloting skills. Thanks for the upload! -David in Florida 🇺🇸

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Thanks 👍

[@gilbertfranklin1537]

Brilliant use of the external wingtip cameras, Ryan! I see that you are finally realizing the difference that makes with a tense landing like this one... we can actually see the surfaces that are under the plane as you approach. This adds so much more realism for couch viewers to experience some of what pilots feel inside the cabin! 👌😁

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@wladimirausbremen]

Jedes mal fasziniert mich ihre flüge, ich liebe das👍🏻😍

[@FrancoVettor]

I nearly passed out! You are a good pilot, Ryan.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Thanks

[@lynnemarshall9055]

Great job...rescuing people and bring food..true heroes! You are so appreciated!!

[@MrBillUp]

As cool as a cucumber. I would have been shaking like a leaf after that landing lol 😁 Respect!

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Oh it gets my nerves going too, I just have learned not to show it for my passengers 😉

[@kam70111]

Thank you for taking us along.

[@elijas_piano]

That was a pretty good landing considering the situation! That little cloud on final approach blocked the runway view haha! Thanks for all these videos! I'm 15 and currently working on my ground school for my private pilots licence to become a missionary pilot, and these videos have helped a lot!

[@floridanews8786]

Man that's awesome bro! There will be days when you will want to throw in the towel..but don't! Its hard work im sure but worth it in the end. I went to school and became a computer tech/networking specialist/electronics assembler and some days it felt overwhelming, but it was totally worth it in the end!

[@elijas_piano]

@@floridanews8786 I'm loving every bit of the training, and I'm really looking forward to how God wants to use me in furthering His kingdom!

[@ehsanmikaeili9315]

Really

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

that's great to hear. Don't let the slowness of how things might progress discourage you.

[@evankirkpatrick8741]

@@elijas_piano Great to see someone dedicated to our Lord within the aviation community

[@retrodad6864]

Great to see Brad acknowledge that “you had a few things going against you” when you said “crap landing” Looked awesome to me. Great vlog. Thanks for posting. 🇬🇧👍

[@jiteanomi4092]

I don't see anything wrong with your landing Ryan. It's just perfect for the terrain and weather conditions. You nailed it my friend. Well done 👍

[@jimbates955]

I thought that was a decent landing, just one little bounce...excellent job going around to complete the mission! Thanks for sharing, and best of luck to Brad going forward

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@stevemayfield9476]

Wow, that one was hard to see even after 2 orbits.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Yes it was, the cloud on final definitely made it hard

[@shoop4040]

TO ANOTHER LEVEL- Amazing flight set up and commitment.

[@conservativeokie]

When a landing can’t be, “butter,” “jelly” is the next best thing! 😁👍🏼

[@gervers]

I thought it was an extraordinarily, great landing considering! Bloody brilliant 🤩

[@jonathanholzmann]

What do you mean Ryan? It was a very good landing all things considered, and there are a lot of things to consider here..

[@jackem8922]

A masterful account of a short but tricky flight, showcasing not only your skills as a pilot, but also as a filmmaker and film editor. The clear explanation of all phases of flight, the useful tips for operating a Garmin G1000 in a bush environment for the aviation-minded, the numerous angles, both internal and external, set against PNG’s spectacular background make for a highly compelling video. Clearly a lot of work must go into combining the numerous camera feeds into such a slickly and professionally edited piece, with just the right amount of cuts to keep the audience riveted and abreast of the progress of the flight. There seem to be numerous GoPros bolted onto the airframe - that extra drag must surely cost you a knot or two in cruise speed! After watching and enjoying the clip, I realized I’d just viewed a highly professional little masterpiece expertly telling a well-rounded story. Well done Ryan! And Hey, don’t beat yourself up about your landing. Given the conditions, you’re allowed a tiny skip on touchdown.

[@markbarrett7520]

Really awesome approach thru the clouds and landing. Great piloting skills for sure. Thanks Ryan.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Bacardibatman]

Imagine trying that without the experience that Ryan has going in there. I'd be like "sorry we're not getting in there today". Great vid Ryan

[@Lukas_QV22]

So true, just goes to show how talented you have to be to land safely on these strips

[@brianrallen]

.... Imagine trying that without the experience that Ryan has going in there .... The essence of more pilots' "Famous Last Words" than I'd care to count.

[@immersemusicaustralia9182]

That was not a crap landing it was totally professionally conducted and very well judged from a streetwise pilot. Love your work 😎

[@jazzdad24]

I'll go around or call a no go on landing 10 times before I'll make a questionable landing!!

[@3sons66]

I believe this is the same airfield that I almost passed out watching you try to land when you were by yourself a few months back. You had sweaty palms after that landing too!

[@ENergyJimP]

That was the toughest yet. Experience matters.

[@KikixPT]

Men thats a great landing, in such a stressfull and high workload envoirment, only who fly so near the ground, between mountains and, difficult airstrips and clouds know it, you protected the nose, it was a great ldg, if that's your worst ldg i imagine your best!!! Keep up the good work mate, and may god protect you between those valleys! Good landings onwards and blueCAVOK sky!!!

[@julianbrelsford]

Yeah to my untrained eye that landing looks like a lot of skill went in to making it as good as it was. There's always stuff you can't control when it comes to wind and weather, and most pilots don't land on short, sloped, grassy strips like that. No go-around, minimal flexibility in terms of touching down early or late & not wrecking the plane+injuring the occupants

[@dannycrooks8462]

That landing was great you were still able to walk away from it and the plane still had wings 😂

[@peterfrenzel1826]

wow Ryan, thats so crazy...absolutely NOTHING wrong with that landing. Excellent job !!!!

[@silasmarner7586]

I thought so as well!

[@carlsasau6162]

He knows how KZbin works too.

[@franciscomanrique1822]

Not all landings are butter! I think we all have to accept that. Excelent video as always men!

[@CorPro]

How can you even be critical of that landing Ryan? You nailed it. I was thinking "how's he going stick this one?!"

[@timpearn9383]

I enjoy watching good, safe, pilots that know it all without acting like they know it all!

[@Woodduck1]

Another cushion button missing off my seat Ryan! You earned your money today! Brad, you have my admiration for the trust you put in Ryan!

[@K2shadowfax]

down on the ground, safe and sound! The very definition of a good landing. Very well done!

[@space1commander]

We can't be perfect all the time Ryan. And right here is a good example of Man and Machine reaching the limits. Great Job!...

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Absolutely!

[@elliottdiedrich2123]

Even though I knew that you had made it, (because I'm watching the video) you had me worried and on the edge of my chair. Good job getting in there.

[@philippinestroppoholic7996]

Wow pretty awesome. Looked like really nice weather but just that cloud in the wrong spot

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Tell me about it

[@noelstewart6718]

You certainly earn your money, good to see you take all the safety precautions. Fly with you anytime.

[@wideawake11]

Thrilling stuff, Ryan, I couldn't see that runway until you were through that final puff of cloud - well done!

[@kreshnik1710]

Thats was a grea landing , so what if there was a bounce .... Great contents and thats how planning has to be done with every single details. Thanks for the wonderful videos you bring to us Ryan . Safe skies ✈

[@reginaldcrudstump383]

I found this really exciting, here I am in my comfortable armchair and still I could feel my heart thumping during that approach. Any chance you could add a small moving map to the video so we can see your location during the arrival and approach?

[@joecooksey4331]

Once again... the man with the balls of steel puts it down. Those Alaskan bush pilots don't have anything on you.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

thanks for watching

[@dodie43566]

I've been watching too many of these videos. I was driving on the expressway the other day and reached overhead to adjust the rear A/C in my van. My brain said "harnesses".

[@davidbjornstad7759]

When I'm turning left across the path of oncoming traffic, and it's time to go, I frequently say "Committed!" 😁

[@AlisterBrenton]

@@davidbjornstad7759 that's actually good practice to call "committed" on some maneuvers while driving - a lot of collisions are caused by drivers chickening out halfway through

[@jonathanrichards593]

Maybe I'm the same - I read back my instructions from the satnav with my registration as a call-sign. Only when I'm alone in the car, though, don't want to be *actually* committed, as in carted away in a straitjacket :)

[@ArielCacha]

I don't think there is much room for improvement here, giving the circumstances. Excellent job!

[@robbo21blue]

Well done Ryan, that was epic

[@andelchallenger5516]

Really great concentration on that landing! Thanks for sharing. Such detailed precise flying

[@Itsoktobenice]

Didn’t look that crappy. Pretty good. Better you than me😜

[@BillySugger1965]

Hey, you walked away from it. Did you log two landings from that? Seriously, good job in very difficult conditions. Kudos Ryan!

[@DanielCPhillips]

Ryan, your worst landing and mine are worlds apart, to the say the very least! You were intact and your aircraft was also. There would be many an aviator who have had a landing or two where they could not always say that!

[@scottlewisparsons9551]

Apparently, any landing that you can walk away from is a good landing! Have a good day. Best wishes from Sydney Australia.

[@luv2fly91]

Bro you're awesome hell of an approach. Also appreciate the go around caution. Many times of go arounds into MRY with cloud cover, but they burn off fast nothing like what you deal with.

[@XRP747E]

Excellent work and good safe landing.

[@maxvogan8183]

You did great on that landing Missionary

[@markhamilton.photos]

Great job managing the situation. The landing may not have been your normal perfection, but it was still a good one. Thanks for sharing this experience.

That is some very smart flying with the go arounds 👍👍👍👍

[@patrickheavirland3599]

Good morning from Minnesota USA!! I love it! Let's circle around again and go around the right side of the cloud I think we'll be able to see better from there lol

Good flying in lousy conditions. Attaboy Ryan !

[@GaryLaaks1]

You land good most of the time and that is something all pilots strive for. Looked like you got into some sink at the last minute.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

yes, I ended up drooping on my approach which lead to a bit low on short final

[@alienxyt]

That was a beautiful landing!
