Simulated EMERGENCY LANDING from 18,000' in a Kodiak | Missionary Bush Pilot Flight Vlog

[@CraigH999]

The expert level of flying makes it look so easy, but obviously it's not. This is an example of why flying is one of the safest forms of transportation - absolute professionalism of the pilots.

[@jasb78]

Fun fact: In dense urban areas commercial pilots are required by bylaws to approach at best glide with minimal power in order to reduce noise over residential areas.

[@philwithnotes]

I love watching you fly, love the attention to detail and your good humor. Congrats on 100K subs!

[@Mr4skynet]

Hello from Russia! I'm going to get Grand Caravan initial training in the U.S. after COVID drops down. So, thanks a lot for your job. I find your videos very helpful for me!

[@williamarmbrecht472]

As s 350 hr pilot, low time, this is the guy I would want to teach me to advance. Excellent.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Thanks

[@sharplcdtv198]

What a coincidence. Today we practiced 6-7 engine failures on the Cessna 152 at 1000AGL 😀 I wasn't looking as calm as you...maybe at the end... I know how the workload feels in those situations but you seem to feel at home 👌 Great video!!

[@aeysim]

Hello from Turkey. I'm flying Kodiak in X Plane 11. But I was struggling. Thanks to you, I learn both piloting and Kodiak. Now I fly better in simulation with Kodiak. :) Thank you so much.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Does x plane have any detailed maps of PNG?

[@aeysim]

@@MissionaryBushPilot It uses Google maps.

@@MissionaryBushPilot as a matter of fact, I believe i found some freeware files of some of the Runways in the Org forums. You will have to verify. Search "Susi Air Sceney Package Indonesia East Timor 1.0.0"

[@grantmiller6570]

@@MissionaryBushPilot The default scenery is not that good. Maybe if you are capable of getting some Ortho for it (I'm not an Ortho genius unfortunately). I have downloaded a PNG airport package but its not that great, in saying that it's better than default, enough to have a bit of fun. Some are the same airports you fly to, not all, but there are plenty there to choose from. I also fly the Kodiak, the Thranda model is able to simulate fairly closely your livery with it's customisable texture capability so that is good fun too. Watching these vlogs has got me into this I usually just do ariliners, so thank you for that. Orbx has a pretty nice PNG package for P3D.

[@zilufuzi]

I like how you stress flying by the “numbers”. There is an incredible science to what you do -along with soooo many variables. Three questions: 1. do you only fly in this aircraft? 2.Who pays for these air taxi/freight services? 3. How much does a Bush Pilot in PNG earn?

[@alantorrance6153]

Emergency Landings - Old pilot's saying: "It is better to taxi through the far fence of the runway, than to fly through the closest one".

Picking a spot in the middle of the runway in a real emergency is really good advice!

P2 NTK! EXCELLENT SIMULATED EMERGENCY LANDING RYAN! YOU PASSED IN MY OPINION... BY THE WAY I LOVE BETTY SHE HAS A GREAT VERTICAL TRACK VOICE! THANK YOU FOR THE LESSON I LEARNED A LOT! SEE YOU AGAIN SOON! GODSPEED...

[@adrianflower3230]

Yes. (I'm a glider pilot, so I have to every landing :-) ) Respect for simulating a power off feathered approach. With that weight, a real accomplishment.

[@dfawkes55]

Wow, had me on the edge how you handled the aircraft. Great to see how you prepare for emergencies in all phases of flying. Single pilot workload can be overwhelming at times and it great to see you teaching us how to take it in stride.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Thank you very much!

[@alantorrance6153]

Your glide rate of descent is much greater that what I am used to, even in a Cherokee 6. I seem to recall in my long-ago (about 40 years ago) and rather limited experience in a Twin Commanche, and even more limited training time for my Type Rating, the Emergency Power descent rate was similar to what you had.

[@MrGritteeth]

An awesome experience seeing you do this calmly with purpose.

Hi Ryan. Coincidentally I did a simulated attempted forced landing a few days ago in a microlight trike from 10,000 feet to sea level. I will produce the video in the near future with explanation of the outcome. Thank you very much for your videos. Stewart (CB).

Great training video. A PFL from 18000ft is something else! I just did my biennial check ride and the instructor lobbed a PFL at me in the downwind at 1000 ft QFE. As you showed, it is really that last 1000ft that counts. Could I do this? Not from 18k feet, that's for sure - that's nearly twice my aircraft's service ceiling!

I expected your propeller to be still (feathered?) in this simulated engine failure scenario, but no. Why not? I am very much a layman - the only things I know about aviation are this and that picked up watching KZbin videos over the last year. And English is only my second language too.

It must be a blast to practice an engine out procedure in real life. As a 91 flyer for 20 plus years I've only done it once in the plane and about 650 (kidding) times in the sim. Great video. Content and production are super. Keep it up..

Hi Ryan, enjoyed your video, good you improved your voice audio, you sure are getting better at flying and movie making. Cheers, Eric.

Giday Ryan. Just wondering if you had any association with MAF? Back in late 1989 I was in a work party to do renovations of a house at a missionary station at Lapalama. We used MAF to get us there from Mt Hargen in their little Cessna, and the scenery was fantastic. It was a great experience to work with the nationals in the area.
