definitely one of the best pilots I am watching on KZbin.

Hi Ryan, would request for your email address if it is ohk with you. Got some important things to discuss with you.

I can just hear my instructor, "so, when this bad idea becomes apparent, what is our exit plan?" Great job explaining the thought process. Always fun to watch an IRL demonstration of 💩 hitting the fan.

[@mattyb7736]

Mine also used to remind me regularly that "Take offs are optional, landings are mandatory. If you're in any doubt, don't take off "

@mattyb7736 they have never gotten stuck up there, that is for sure.

[@davidt8087]

Honestly is there anyone in Papua new guinea who's a native who's out there flying much less instrument approaches in a GA plane? Is this how air traffic works in Papua new guinea? Your talking like your in the US, even saying the aiporrt name + traffic. Is that how it works in other countries too?

[@FlyWithFitz81]

@@davidt8087So it is mostly international standard. If you look up ICAO it explains a lot. This is a super complex to sum up in a chat, but since the founding of aviation the world has looked to keep it standardized, commonly safe and available... as available as it can be anyway. The radio telephony can be a bit more diverse, but still relatively in line with a common standard.

[@PaulL42654]

Great video - Just had one point, I know you had the seatbelt round it but I've heard some bad stories of life rafts being carried in the front seat, if they deploy accidentally for some reason they inflate and ram the yoke into a full nose down, with no hope of recovery. Stay safe!

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Oh 😳 never heard about that before. Maybe I'll start putting it behind the front seat

[@geoffaitken]

[@thepilot2023]

Ryan you are such a professional pilot with superb airmanship skills - I'm really envious of all that glass! I was a round dial and paper chart pilot.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Not sure I'd be shooting an approach to minimums with steam gauges and a paper chart here in PNG. I love the situational awareness the G1000 give you

[@paoloferreri6249]

Professionally done. Challenging, but within safety margins and always with a back-up plan. 👍

The mirror in your life vest is called a heliograph and is a fantastic location aid if there is sunshine.

[@mjhwpb]

Thank you for recording this adventure. It really was a great example of keeping your head when things don't go the way you want. Your planning made the dynamic situations manageable, and your readiness to call a miss kept you in control to give your planning a chance to play out. Great video!

[@raywalsh5414]

Scary but cool . I'm a VFR 172 amateur and really admire what you do. You would not survive long in your environment without total professionalism on every flight and you demonstrate that in spades. Thanks for the great video.

[@jtocwru]

Same here. 300 hour 172 and PA-28 "pilot" here, and I've only ever flown in nice VFR. I took a night instrument lesson once, and I said, "Yep, I'll end up dead if I keep doing this." One and done. Scary stuff. Far cry from flight simulator.

[@kingfisch]

Great flight. You have excellent skills and great discernment. Glad you made it safely to your destination. 🙏

I am a flying enthusiast and have flown few aircrafts for fun. But I learn a lot from you. You have taught many people many things in piloting world. Forgot to mention …Your flying skills are raw. I've been following you for ages since you started your KZbin channel. I have watched almost all your videos' since the beginning of it. I must say , you have unique way of expressing thing. Your attention to details when it comes to aircraft/flightpath/cargo and the delivery are impeccable. Moreover you share information's that are new to many and your videography skills allowing the world to see what you do is uncommendable. You are a great youtuber even while piloting. Cheers! from Dubai

[@SkyMooreMixes]

I follow your videos on KZbin. I am a pilot. Was a Cadet Pilot with Air Niugini under the scholarship scheme program, however did further the training and hence funded my training in Sydney. Due to funding, I was not able to complete my CPL and MECIR. Funding has been and issue and now I am 35years old with two kids, 6 and 3, but I still have this dream to one day fly the skies of PNG. Your videos are a big motivation for me. Keep the videos coming. Cheers.

[@waderogers]

I'm not a pilot but am the captain of a sailboat, so I appreciate the navigational skills required for IFR and VFR, especially living here in S.E. Alaska. We have some amazing bush pilots who can drop you into a mountain lake, flying a Cessna 206 on floats! Plus, the Alaska Airlines pilots are simply the best! I like how you talk your approaches out, out loud, as well as your preflight check list. I watch the channel for 'Pilot Debrief' and he has mentioned the need to not only do the preflight check list, but to also say it out loud as the pilot is going thru it prior to flight. Thanks for the good flight and entertaining content...

[@Aerkavo]

Alaska Airlines pilots are the best? What you base that on?

[@donbarnett-tt4rc]

Love the way you constantly talk us thru your every move! Best pilot videos ever!

[@markbarrett7520]

Very intense shooting an approach over water. You made it look easy for sure. Thanks Ryan.

[@brodricj3023]

It's more intense shooting an approach over land. Actually he was hamming it up a bit for the audience as the weather wasn't that bad.

[@mktwatcher]

Beautiful Approach and Landing MBP. Way to maintain your cool and patience and not rushing it. Great departure planning too with the addition of extra fuel.

[@gabrieljohannson6777]

I’m one of many, who as a child wanted to be a pilot, now at 54 I know I could never do what you have demonstrated. Courage and commitment to safety at every point. I was digging fingers into my iPad. (Nervous flyer).

@@jeremybillingham Whether god exists or not is hugely important. Some of those who say yes, fly planes into buildings to punish other 'yes' sayers. Some yes sayers tell young women they should be kept in a dark cellar away from the eyes of decent chritians. My mother said that to my daughter and almost caused a miscarriage. Yes it matters.
