The Unconventional Way to Find a Fog Covered Runway

[@stewheart]

the skill, training and character needed to achieve this is quite something! Great work man!

[@susanpeterson7570]

It was very enjoyable flying vicariously with you! The topography of the land is amazing!! Also, enjoyed your walk through the village; it reminded me of my time in Madagascar.

[@marek100play]

Hell yeah this is better than Netflix

[@terrancestodolka4829]

Great flight and I like the fact that you talked your way through the entire flight like a great pilot talking out loud about the situation and dealing with all the events occurring and possibilities and options, as well as added ATC and other radio chatter...

[@doc-nobody-glider]

I always like the landsacpe you´re flying over. Being a geologist and a pilot too it´s of course overwhelming for me.

[@markbarrett7520]

The hike to the missionaries house was great, but the flight back to Goroka and manuevering through the clouds was fun and exciting for sure. It was also cool to hear NTH on the radio during the flight. Thanks Ryan!

[@Tom__L]

That landing… beautiful… smooth as … and the front wheel perfectly on the center line… looks like you have done this before. 😁

[@patrickheavirland3599]

Hello from Minnesota USA! Another great episode!

[@keithevans5409]

Enjoying the PNG "retrospective"! Oh, and Ryan, had my first cup of Goroka Coffee today, tastes great - many thanks for bringing it all the way back home for us!!!

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Awesome

[@kam70111]

Thank you, Ryan. Yes, it was exciting.

[@terryrutherford2114]

"Glad that worked out". Haha! we all do. That was stressful to me. Good job! Thanks for the video!

[@iang.8601]

Nice & clear out of Diningat & then on to Ramu , then it's a blanket of cloud to Goroka. You do it well Ryan. Good to see a landing on 35L..Thanks again for another great ride.

Wow... My best friend, Nice video... Beautiful place Enjoy watching this video... Have a nice day.

[@danw050]

Another great flight, Ryan! As others have said, I learn a lot by listening to your thought process! I know the ole disclaimer is that we shouldn't consider flight videos as 'training'.. but I swear, with as many of your videos I've watched for so long, and that you talk like a flight instructor, I think I could sit in the jump seat of the Kodiak with you and actually fly a few of these trips. But the P&G visual acumen required and routing and all the rest.. that's what takes a long time - of course. But as far as the basics of flying the Kodiak and radio calling. BOOM!

[@dbobstoner]

Really impressive approach. Great to hear your thought process. Many a pilot might have diverted. Great flying

[@tradjazzer]

thanks Ryan for another good flight, best wishes and take care

[@timfree3512]

Awesome flight! Think I had just as much fun watching as you had flying. Very good aviator you are, sir!

Thanks for a nice flight. I love your thoroughness. Also the resolution of the videos are very sharp.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Thanks

[@accountingcoach3739]

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Thanks

[@thevirtualcockpit5001]

Really enjoyed that one. Just now setting up the new computer and installing the simulators. Your add on package is on the top of my check list. Most of my flying is beta testing my stuff, but when I do some free flying, your routes will fill the ticket nicely. Love the Kodiak anyway, so it'll be a natural. Thanks for your work and dedication. Most appreciated sir.

[@maesc2001]

Amazing flight, Ryan, glad to see you once more ☺️✌️

[@vijaylamba6179]

Great landing

[@cHVF]

There are a lot of GA/Commercial youtube channels out there. A handful of those are permanently on my short list (blancolirio/mentour/gryder/bertorelli/mcspadden's air safety/etc..) This channel is special for me, maybe because of the detail I get to see and hear, the awesome situations I get to witness, but most precious of all, for me, is hearing the train of thought, in and out of the plane, checklists to landing and everything in between. I'm just fascinated by it and can't get enough of these. It's also interesting to me that someone can at the same time subscribe to a church and probably must accept some amount of superstitious nonsense (I don't get it, but I don't judge) and simultaneously fly highly technical brown-pants routes on a daily basis, -without- panic-blurting out a single reference to jesus/god (that I noticed so far). Anyhow, thank you for all the hard work.

[@danbudd1046]

Excellent job

[@soundofheartrelaxation652]

Hi..Ryan,thanks for sharing,I always enjoy your flight so much 💕 👍👍👏👏😃😃😃😃have a nice day 😊 😀

[@timwarner5645]

Awesome job brother

[@gta4ever3003]

Thanks for another great clip! One question I wonder: The grass at most mountain strips is always in perfect conditions like on a golf court. Do they mow the grass by a grass mower powered by gas and hand? Do they use frequently road rollers? Is it possible for you, that you create a clip about airstrip maintenence in this rural places in Papua?

[@alancrane2646]

Hi Ryan, when are you back in PNG? We all miss you being over there helping these small communities. I hope you return soon!

[@ecjcalde5138]

Another great takeoff and landing!! As always By the way I already received the Bush Pilot Checklist. Light on it is perfect Thanks

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Awesome, great to hear

[@can5projects563]

awesome video mate, what are you up to these days?

[@arthenry498]

I REALLY enjoyed that one!! I like where you have to make decisions concerning go/no go situations. Interesting how you used all available information sources to make an informed decision (and a correct one I might add) To me, that is REAL flying!! Thanks for letting me come along again.

[@94668]

ANC you did it all. Great job! You and Citation Max are both my inspiration for building my sim. Touch. Say it. Do it - with a check list if you are a newbie like me and or from memory like the pros. The only way to fly.

[@chaunceywilliams8405]

Greased that landing.

[@nickpapagiorgio5056]

Ryan you are a rockstar pilot my man!!!! Enough said.

[@jeffroepke4052]

Hope you guys are having a good furlough! Blessing…

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

So far pretty stressful, but it should calm down soon

[@Poundy]

What luxury it is landing on 35L for a change ! :)

[@Bill49ish]

That was great flying, I would have diverted. Flying into a milk bowl is just my forte..

[@kingfisch]

Exciting flight! I'm always impressed with your skill as a pilot! 🙏

Hey there, strangely T/O speeds calculated with 5400, even though the calculator showed 6400...landing later on again in the 6000 range...Could have been a bit slow on departure...? ;-) Cheers, good for all of us that worst cases rarely happen...

[@bravocharlie639]

Good catch! I think it is probably a misstatement. He's apparently flown in and out of there before, so much of the audible checklist we heard was from past experience whereas the calculator was to be sure his wheels would leave the ground in the distance allowed.

COFFEE - that Goroka Coffee is some of the best this Coffee snob has ever drAnk! The only thing I do NOT like is.... I am out and there is NO place to get more. #HelpMe

Wheels off the ground literally seconds before you're off the edge of the cliff. Let's just say an aborted tekeoff would be 'interesting'. Enjoyed the video as always.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Yeah, it would be super scary

[@javierrodriguez5735]

Visibility ok?

[@modavies8401]

I was once foolish enough to be winched off in a glider when there was a layer of fog about 25 feet thick. Because the sun was visible from the ground, I assumed the reverse would be true, Wrong! I landed my low performance glider by reference to airfield furniture showing above the fog. I was amazed after landing to find that I had landed back at my launch point. Never again!

dont you need a co pilot normally for flying

An aeroplane with MTOW of less than 5700KG does not need 2 pilots, unless the flight manual says otherwise. Kodiak is only 3,290KG MTOW.

4:39 Strange using both Metric and Imperial units for load calculations. Seems like a bad idea, unless everything is double entered, calculated, and cross-checked. That seems like a good thing. The load calculations seem comprehensive, but I see no mention of “Density Altitude” calculations. Perhaps the airstrip is so close to sea level, but it is not clear. You are only 19 kg short of max gross weight, in a very marginal departure. I would be concerned. At the same time, you seem adequately meticulous, you probably have done dozens of repetitions, and I should listen more and write less…
