They Built a RUNWAY in the Clouds

[@doutordelmar]

The locals are very happy with the first landing on their new ranway, it is historical for them amazing thing I think! God with them and the pilots

[@zoltankaparthy9095]

They are good engineers, and very proud of their work. Good for them.

[@mikelbrenn111]

It's amazing that the community are making the runway longer knowing that they all can benefit from it.

If these people can build a runway one rock at a time on top of a mountain... I have no doubt we were able to build the wonders of the world

[@jelletje8]

[@IAMAliIbrahim]

[@ALLGODSDIE]

They are short. It's evolution in that part of the world, they don't need to be tall. They need to be small so they can climb trees to get fruits and different things.

[@gliderenthusiast]

wow🤯 amazong video! thanks! How have you got that kind of job ?

[@mapsedge]

Hard work and a little luck. I flew in Alaska for awhile and then spent a few years in a caravan to pad the resume. After that, I shopped around to see who wanted me.

[@d.s.8918]

Hi, great video, aviation skills and countryside. Maybe you mentioned this already in one of your many videos. Meanwhile I saw already some of them but it was never mentioned. However, I wonder how you, the flights and everything is going to be paid from. I assume the locals in the mountains don't have that much money to pay for frequent flights. Is there something like a Is there a state fund for this , donations or payment by UN development programs? Cheers from Germany.

[@mapsedge]

Most of the money comes from government subsidies. That's really what keeps companies like these operating. International aid does fund a few operations but even they end up earning money from government programs at some point. Hope that answers your question!

I am a transport aircraft pilot in a certain country. Sorry for my poor English. I think METAR is not issued at the airfields that bush pilots go to, how do you make weather decisions? Do you use satellite imagery or communications from the field to make your decision? I am very impressed with your flight as I too love low altitude navigation in the mountains. Of course, it is dangerous and safety comes first. Thank you.

[@mapsedge]

Sometimes we use satellite data or other maps but usually our decision to go or not is based on weather reports from the few villages that we can hear along with a rough idea of the general conditions from the last few weeks. Generally, mornings are good but if a runway has been consistently clouded in lately, we might try to organize a flight close by to have a look at the weather. That being said, conditions can change in a matter of minutes so the most important thing we do is never treat any flight as if it MUST be completed. Coming back another day is totally fine and no cargo or passenger demands are more important than safety. Good luck flying in your "certain country" and stay safe!

[@filakyle3663]

I feel like watching best video in my life

[@mapsedge]

Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed it.

Terima kasih😊

Sama sama, teman!

[@APFS-DS]

cartel pilot vs you, who wins?

[@mapsedge]

Are we using knives or guns?

[@alphasmile5629]

​@@mapsedgein terms of flying man, flying. Not fighting. Balls of steel you got, no chance for other fellas. 😂😂😂😂

[@FLYANDI]

I am very curios. Who is actual paying for all of these flights and the logistic? Is it mainly government "sponsored" as an essential or does it rely mainly on donations? I can find very limited information on the actual economics of these operations.

[@mapsedge]

Most of the money comes from government subsidies. That's really what keeps most aviation companies out here going. International aid does fund a few operations but even they end up earning money from government programs at some point. Hope that answered your question.
