The INSANE Schedule of a Bush Pilot

[@naumansayal5783]

You two are doing a great job for humanity. Fly safe , happy langings and stay blessed . Nauman, Pakistan

[@wantrifu_lite]

Proud of you Ryan. I greatly appreciate the work of Missionary Aviation in PNG. Missionary Bush Pilot Vlog put everything in perspective. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@The_Flying_Mechanic]

This brings back memories of flying out of Kanabea and Moresby in a C-206T back in 2018 when I came to PNG as a missionary Pilot…

[@davidhughes8663]

Great example of decision making under pressure. Also a validation of the old saying PPPPPP. Good job!

[@canman4058]

Missionary Bush Pilot. This brings back so many memories, good and bad. I used to operate from the hanger that have the PAC750s in front. At that time I was flying Cessna 206s. They had steam gauges and we used paper maps. Marawaka, and other places you have flown to, were regular stops. Going through the cloud made my stomach turn, because we didn't have the nav equipment (no GPS) and going through cloud was suicide! We considered that the clouds were stuffed with rocks! Finding holes to go up or down was common. Finding coffee to help pay for the return flight was routine as well!

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

I totally feel your pain. It would have sucked to flying in PNG before the technology we have now

[@stevemurphy1051]

My cousin was married to a pilot with MAF. They were based out of Redlands CA. I think his name was Russ Chastine. They did great work and went to Chad. I enjoyed your videos.

[@ENergyJimP]

I love seeing Jeff waving to the locals as you guys get ready to depart. He has clearly become comfortable being there. :)

[@georgechalifour88]

me too .

[@douglasritenour4824]

Wife and I served in US Peace Corps PNG 25 years ago in southern highlands. Your amazing videos bring back great memories of similar scenic flights across the highlands, and the unique communities we served and visited. Thanks!

[@AbrahamPhilip-hv9dz]

Brother. You are great servant of God. May the bless your going and coming Shalom

[@anntaylor3131]

Thanks

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

WOW thanks!

[@danield.8615]

I like Jeff so much. He's a great guy. If I could choose a pilot, you were both in.

[@georgechalifour88]

Man lots of decisions on this flight. Very exciting and informative . Loved that school classroom . those kids are beautiful !

[@tednowak3112]

Little complicated today..........but you and Jeff can handle the situation...........nice landing.......have a great day................

[@bushtherapy7655]

Love these flight videos I was a recreational pilot 30 years ago or so and loved the feeling of flight This brings it back

[@robfive2555]

Never get tired of that incredible scenery. . Many thanks guys!

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@thomashammett6851]

Great flight and comments. PNG is so beautiful in all directions. So glad you got to OSH this year; how fun that must have been. Smooth flying my Brother. Thank you!

[@joerobilotta2199]

Missing these flights.

[@ReneChaddock]

Just like you, one of my most important decisions of the day is whether or not I pick up coffee. Love the videos, and appreciative of you having prepared a backlog to keep us entertained while you are away from PNG.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Great to hear!

[@erichetherington9899]

Nice greased that landing plus all the multi tasking very impressive for sure, good job!

[@abbieamavi]

I love the style of your videos, the beautiful scenery, people, and plane, but I also love how you actually answer any questions. Super interesting and informative channel.

[@arthenry498]

Another challenging and wonderful flight. I like how you live what my former supervisor taught. He taught me that we did not have PROBLEMS!! We had "opportunities to excel" !! And we did. Thanks for allowing me to share these opportunities.

[@wideawake11]

Great to fly along, as always, thanks Ryan & Jeff. Seems like that coffee at Owena resisted a couple of attempts to extract it, if I remember at least one earlier video correctly.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Yes, we did try a couple of times to get it, never happened before I left.

[@jcbaily5559]

Though I am not a pilot I do understand some of what you are doing but even more, I appreciate your confidence level in flying especially in and out of clouds in those mountain areas. It was beautiful to see those mountain slopes with the sun shining on them. I know you and your family are looking forward to returning to PNG in June but I will miss getting to fly with you here in AZ but look forward to your new adventures! Take care and stay safe!

[@Hadzzi47]

Love watching your videos. I'm from Menyamya and Marawaka. Thanks to you Bush Pilots 🇵🇬🙏

[@TheFlightLevel]

Great video! Great channel! Have done most of my flying in a North America. Now using Flight Simulator to explore Europe’s challenging airports! Plan to jump into the Kodiak and explore PNG also. Blue skies!

[@markbarrett7520]

It looked like a challenging day for sure, having to deal with the weather and deciding to pick up coffee or not. It's great to have the V2 Tracker. I enjoyed seeing the kids in there school. Thanks Ryan and Jeff for the great video.

[@heikalarifinattha]

always be healthy capt

[@waynehurtig8198]

LOVE WATCHING YOU AND JEFF MY SUNDAY FIX HERE IN MINNESOTA

[@mikecoffee100]

Just another Awesome video Thank You

[@iang.8601]

Ryan & Jeff, What a day, slippery strip, schedule changes,coffee locked up, good to see Jeff got to wave to the kids. Good to hear NAZ & yourself discussing whose where & at what height.Nice clear landing at Goroka. Good to see the new chopper is getting in the air. Thanks for the ride, another great flight.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

thanks for the support!

[@BlueSideUp77]

I really enjoy seeing your thought processes for the various things that come up for you in this flight.

[@raymondstrom7686]

Doing God's work!!! Bless you both.

[@melaren2002]

Ryan, thanks a lot for video!

[@morthomer5804]

Wings level. Positive rate. Gear up.

[@randalljames1]

And after all the vids of yours, I only just now noticed "Long Kofufu" ahahahaha

[@adinew8920]

Thanks........

[@Kingfisher83]

Wow another video for my favourites list! Pretty good lookin dude in the crocodile skin hat helping unload. Sure do appreciate the view of home. Thanks Ryan!

[@mikercflyer7383]

BTW great seeing you and the other KZbinr’s doing the Q&A with In the Hanger it was fun.

[@flyboyph6336]

man your unbelievable. safe flights!

[@patrickheavirland3599]

Hello from Minnesota USA! Another great episode!

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Hey Pat, great meeting you at Oshkosh

[@DOMINICAAVIATION]

Another fantastic video!

[@richardjolly7434]

Thanks again Ryan

[@Bacardibatman]

Nailing that center line every time. ;)

[@salnichols94805]

[@kingfisch]

Another great video and quite informative! 🙏🙏

[@michaeltubbs8767]

Loved this flight. Exciting adventure. Thanks for sharing.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dalerbsr.5061]

Darn, I looked for you at AirVenture but could not find you. Just wanted to thank you in person for the awesome flying content I recently discovered on your channel and totally enjoy. Maybe next year...

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

bummer. I'll try to be at Reno and Sun n Fun next year too.

[@docdavidb]

Ordered some Karoka coffee. Best coffee ever!,, thanks

[@MisterPukluk]

I'm nothing understand what you say guys, but I think you both are cool pilots😁

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

stick around long enough and you'll start to pick it up

[@stevekirk8546]

Another very interesting flight, again showing how surprisingly effective PNG's DIY ATC system can be. When you were talking to NAZ were both using the Goroka tower frequency?

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Yes, we were both on tower freq

[@ElAnciano92071]

You have me wondering why they don't use a check valve from each fuel tank to prevent the problem you have mentioned in several of your videos? I realize that would give another point of failure, but it could also be equipped with a bypass if it bacame a problem at some point.

[@NathanElcoate]

Great flight guys. :)

[@GEDixon-ni5gk]

Very interesting watching you guys, Thanks

[@txnetcop]

Amigo you earned a long vacation!

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Yes, thanks

[@GaryLaaks1]

Nice one. Bet you are missing PPNG Ryan.

[@gregagee4328]

Have you ever encountered any engine issues while flying out in PNG? You are super thorough in your checklists and procedures, so what would you do in an engine out procedure in the the environment you were in (above the clouds over mountains terrain) in this video?

[@flybyairplane3528]

MBP,,,,,Hello BRETT&JEFF, So you could NOT access the other airport, say the PNG coffee, is nice, I’ll get more saw you at OSH, that new model won’t be practical for your use, as fields are too short, STAY WELL GOD BLESS YOU ALL, ,,,🇵🇬🇵🇬🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@kam70111]

Thank you, Ryan. Is it due to Monsoons?

[@PghGameFix]

Because of the hills... I understand not coming down through the clouds.... but why would you have to climb out of the strip through a hole? I would think that is IFR capable.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

yes the plane is IFR capable, but, say if I go on top of the clouds, there is no guarantee I can get back down into the valleys to get to the bush airstrip I need to, so it's easier to just stay down in the valleys.

[@anthonyrstrawbridge]

When holding aileron for slide slope is it better to hold allot as to allow bleeding it off or is it better to just hold a smidge and just increase as you perceive it? I'm thinking: big side slope big hold vs slight side slope small hold sounds correct?

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

on a side slope I hold it full aileron into the hill, then as your airspeed increases and the runway flattens out, I take out the correction.

[@anthonyrstrawbridge]

@@MissionaryBushPilot Ahh yes, I think I remember now. Holding full aileron is best because the down slope wing will then generate lift sooner and as I feel it come up I can adjust the rate of lift by raising the down slope aileron and lowering the other. When I consider crosswind holds with a sloped runway and rising terrain potentially on either side of the sloped runway .....things get really exciting. I've never truly experienced significantly sloping runways but it actually is fairly intuitive. Very fun stuff.

[@ByronWatts]

The name of that location sounds amazingly similar to one where one of my classmates from Bible school has worked. Possibly the same location. Cool.

[@andysaunders3708]

Braver men than me.

[@simoncorporation3]

Jeff and the other pilot seem like they'll be doing fine, after Ryan's instruction.

[@simoncorporation3]

Thanks Ryan.

[@deerjohn8041]

What does the sticker on your dashboard mean? LONG KAFUFU I think it says?

[@Zeke125]

No Farting

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

No Farting Allowed

[@markuswagner8559]

😂😅 wondering on the story behind

[@deerjohn8041]

@@markuswagner8559 Me too.

[@jimtrebilcock7509]

I enjoy your videos. Thanks. Question: When you have cloud issues why don't you request a VFR on top clearance?

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Because we actually file all our flights on an IFR flight plan. We can go up there at anytime, but it's easier to stay down in the valleys, assuring you can get to where you want.

[@tomwilliam5118]

How did you end up being a bush pilot in New Guinea

[@lynnbailey1948]

Ryan - did you & your family have to get any special vaccinations before going on the mission field??

[@ehsanmikaeili9315]

Captain thank you .Captain I have a question for you. I heard that flying today's big planes is very easy and comfortable due to technological advances. I mean all the stages of flight from takeoff to cruise and landing. Is this true?

[@robertmcmurry3509]

While the technology works, yes, it is very easy because of all the information available. When the technology breaks, you still need to be able to aviate, navigate, and communicate the old fashioned way.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

yes, flying in PNG with the technologies that we have make it not only easier but safer. What Robert said below is also true. Just having the technology available, doesn't make you a wise pilot. You still need to learn to make wise decisions and learn how to navigate in a unforgiving environment such as PNG

[@MovingTargetOne]

I consider myself to be a bit of a bush pilot

[@brycemartin3626]

What missions do you fly for ?

[@davebartosh5]

Actually kind of funny that he had to to a seperation turn for traffic in a country that two planes are rarely in the air for tens if not hundreds of miles.

[@thibault5484]

I'm flying Kodiak in MSFS 2020, when I apply full power on takeoff my NG goes in red so in my understanding we can't never take off with full power? Sorry to ask here if it's not the place :) thank you

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

I actually have a Kodiak Sim Course in the description of this video. I talk all about take off, landing, cruise, and a lot more. That would be a good place to start.

[@geraldblackburn4883]

I have too many subs, but I try to watch a few all the time, long video ?

[@heinzpilot]

This was another outstanding video! I'd love to see a video sometime where you give your testimony about Christ and how you came to know him. That would be awesome also. I spent my entire career as a pilot in corporate and Airline aviation. But there are many times I wish that I would have went into missionary Aviation. But I have found ways to tell the good news of Jesus even in my career. God bless.

[@scottlewisparsons9551]

I am very concerned that after flying PNG bush flying in the US may be a bit boring for you. lol.

[@ohwell2790]

Everyone on U-Tube uses the word insane to describe normal events. As far as your schedule, it is planned in advance and sure this has been done many times.

[@dabigcat73]

If Jeff is the new pilot? Why doesn't he do the landing at the end of the video? Seems like he should be getting more practice..?

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Because it doesn't do him any good landing from the right seat
