Where you able to take the women onboard finally? 😂

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

The ended up not sending her. Communities decision 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@kingfisch]

Thanks for the video. Every flight is unique. Especially when dealing with the weather. 🙏

[@RealRunner7]

When within the 34 minutes is the thing not to do?

[@jeffbuckles]

@@RealRunner7 22:30

[@maddiethomas5892]

Great question! Thanks!

[@LewisTheFly888]

I see all the multi tasking Ryan does. He is ground support. Baggage handler. Drives the things that move the planes. Loads. Unloads. Flies the planes. Must have lots of different union tickets. lol. But one of the people on this planet who are making a massive difference to so many communities. Respect. And thanks for including and educating us all. Did I add refuelling? That alone is hazardous.

[@Biggaz1313]

In earlier videos you are a 'Bush Pilot'. In the latest videos you are a pilot, baggage handler. mechanic, negotiator, traffic controller, forklift driver, window cleaner, drone operator, refueler and all round great guy. Love these videos. Many thanks from Australia

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Yeah I'm starting to show what we really do on a daily basis 😀

[@slupot]

That's basically THE job description of a Bush pilot lol. In the Bush, there is no services. Your plane breaks? You're fixing it or you're gonna be stuck awhile. Plus, you have an ENTIRE village/community relying on you for day to day survival. You might be a tour guide one day, mail man the next. Air ambulance on another day, village mechanic the next. Where I live, in SE Alaska, most pilots are ALSO mechanics. Many of us have our A&P. Sometimes we fix the village power plant, others help someone with fixing a broken down boat. In the Bush, knowledge and skills are what matters. Everyone uses what skills they have and knowledge to help eachother out. A village doctor might do emergency surgery on someone, having the skills to do so, yet are clueless on why their boat won't start. Most Bush pilots are pretty smart, well-rounded, and on top of that, the lifeline of the community. For instance, I live during the summer in a tiny fishing village in AK. The ONLY way in our out is by boat or float plane. The weather is bad here, so planes can't come in quite often. The nearest town is 90 miles by sea from me. About 4 hour boat trip in a speed boat, 8 to 10 in a bigger vessel. Well one day I woke up with a horrible tooth infection, and got very sick. The weather was bad, so a plane couldn't land. I needed immediate medical attention. So a fishing charter captain took me by boat 20 miles away in a storm, to meet a float plane in the middle of the ocean in the only place he could land. I barely met the plane in time. I made it to town, but if I was only 30 MINUTES LATE I would have been stuck for 4 or 5 days and probably would have died, before the weather cleared up.

[@kevinfairclough4619]

It costs £175 for a flight lesson here in uk. Ryan gives his KZbin info for free. Flying a GA aircraft is relatively easy but being a good, safe, diligent pilot day-in, day-out takes real skills and discipline. Being employed as a bush pilot for an organisation and not just doing it for your own fun is a huge responsibility. I have lots of respect and love this channel. PNG seems like a dream place to fly. I totally recommend his paid Kodiak/g1000 tutorials though for anyone interested

[@abingdonboy]

Right? Unless he’s making $200,000 USD a year this is completely not worth it as a flying job

[@charlotteharvey3442]

​@@abingdonboyWell he works for a mission so I am thinking quite under paid for those skill, it seems to me his love for what he does is what drives him,

[@markbarrett7520]

Ryan, it's great to see Andrew, Stuart, and the whole team working together to coordinate these flights and make them happen. Thanks for your willingness to serve.

[@greenthing99100]

I really love these videos Ryan. I live with motor neurone disease and you, what and why you do it, brings joy into my life. Thank you. Stay safe and may God bless you and your family. Love from Rick

[@dabassmann]

Staying below the clouds was EXCELLENT viewing!!! The flight back was awesome, too. Great video!!!

[@kylestanerickenny]

All those kids and everyone gathered around the plane... they look in awe of you and Kodiak. I can almost feel their excitement just to be there. Thats pretty cool.

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

When the plane comes, that's their "TV" for the day

[@bobrichardson5905]

Maybe you're inspiring future bush pilots@@MissionaryBushPilot

[@duanebennett1280]

I thank God for you and your expertise in flying with so many variables to deal with.

[@RancidLimes89]

Aye! That's the guy you flew with in one of your recent videos! Love it!

[@mikewarbin5776]

I'm a pilot too. So amazed the amount of information you are processing an are able to talk to us at the same time. I don't think I would be able to do both. Great job!!

[@woodyswartze5620]

I love the time lapse on the way back - entirely different perspective.

[@robertkearbey6155]

Many years ago Ryan while I was in med school. I was a flight instructor. Once a month we flew monthly trips into old Mexico on mission medical trips. I was the organization safety pilot. ( no more information for security reasons but loved the trips into these little mountainous areas. Loved it and will never forget it. )

[@shkumbinhamiti]

I absolutely love your videos. Beautiful landscapes and great airmanship. I find these videos very inspiring so keep them coming. And I think your landing was just great.

[@airmenanderson3223]

Excellent Flight and Landing Ryan! You make it look so easy... Thank you for sharing... Have a blessed day... Godspeed

[@arnaldoleon1]

Boxed in a canyon, overcast on top, depending on a single yellow pixel on the screen to avoid crashing into a mountain... then to land in a 500m grass strip on top of a mountain. Hard core stuff!

[@relaxingnature2617]

the video is extra action packed whenever you fly low -- looks so speedy and such beautiful landscapes

[@marcelpagnol9602]

What a beautiful flight under the ceiling and through these valleys. Thx for sharing

[@AlanHelenWinter]

Hey Ryan. Thanks for the memories. I was a Flight Service Officer in Lae, Goroka and Madang 1973-75. It was a fascinating job and very rewarding. Great to re-live some of the locations you fly into. Alan

[@nivid01]

Your landing maps of the mountain airstrips are great, AND the included drone photographs of each airstrip is absolutely essential!!!

[@andreasbauer4837]

Thanks for the instrument charts and the diagrams - it must be an incredible complex edtra work combining all these so nicely together in this professional video! High quality! Thank you fir being so professional

[@rabh6746]

Another fantastic video Ryan, the timelapse really shows the beauty of PNG👌

[@kevinknight470]

Second walk around, good pre-flight, attention to detail. Great job Captain, thanx for sharing.😃

This guy is the real thing dude…talk about multitasking, and then some…

[@greebs11]

I liked this flight. I really like the time-lapse return flights, it just finishes the video/flight well. And you get to see more of the scenery of PNG which is awesome!

[@anlq1240]

Good evening from the Netherlands, Mr Ryan.

[@fabiansachs1907]

I fly in the Rocky Mountains in Canada. Mountain terrain is definitely tricky as you get those micro climates and sudden weather changes around the place! I went for a flight and it was a calm departure but on route it turned bad really quick with mountain waves and a dropping ceiling. Definitely tests you on your decision making about whether to proceed or turn around. I ended up turning around to escape a worsening down the valley bringing with a strong crosswind and wind shear. I just made it back as it started to become worse and didn’t have too many problems but it didn’t take long for the wind sock to be full horizontal deflection.

[@MrCopCam]

Just wanted to say absolutely love your channel from coming from Sam cui who's got great aviation videos of the airliners it's great to see the small Bush landings and you sir are great pilot enjoy stay safe from uk 🇬🇧

[@graemeburke4955]

Another top video! Great to be on the trip from go to whoa and excellent tuition along the way. Thanks again, Ryan!

[@andyfehr3462]

Love the on the ground content with your co-workers!

[@shelleysflyingdreams]

Those views….. What a beautiful place. I hope I can visit there some day and take a flight with you. What you do is wonderful.

[@magnusj05]

I love your videos and have been watching for a little over a year now. I really liked that Timelapse at the end that was awesome and put a lot more perspective into the initial leg away from base. I’m in A&P school while in HS idk if you deal with the mechanical side at all, but that would be cool to see what the majority of the maintenance done at your base looks like. Thanks again for taking the time to make these awesome videos.

[@timrowe234]

I really enjoy watching your flights and how you explain every step of what you’re doing! Keep up the great work brother!

[@tommontgomery9278]

Loved the “high speed” at the end, gave a real look at the terrain! Thanks

Beautiful flight, awesome landing, great video, thanks a lot.

I grew up in PNG and one of my missionary friends lived in Owena, and I've landed on that airstrip. I flew out and stayed with him a couple weeks and we had a great time.

One of my favorite channels.. Thank you Ryan and God Bless you and your family! Frank in Colorado

I love your videos, very, very educational, but also, sometimes a bit risky. The work that you do is so important though, so I understand the balance. Praying for your continued safety!!!

[@d3w4yn3]

I've flown just once in my life, makes me a bit nervous watching you make that landing! But a fantastic landing it was!!!

[@wellington2420]

Visually seeing it before you do it, is very crucial for me as well. Confirmation!! Thanks brother !!!

[@dwaynemcallister7231]

Hello, and thanks for sharing the beautiful video, my Dad was a commercial bush pilot in the Canadian arctic from 1955 to1996 flying Helio's, Cessna 180's, Aztec's etc. Musch warmer climate down where you are. Have a great day thx again! Dwayne

Being a hobby pilot on microlight planes in Northern Germany I enjoyed your tour and learned a lot about flying in your area. Although I got Garmins G3X on board, it´s quite a difference to the task you have to encounter. Respect!

Love to see great skills executed without fuss - as only the truly skilled can do it! Great commentary and wheels down on the numbers. See the ground cut a little more than I'd like it - at what point is that field a no,no?

[@wideawake11]

Ryan, I've noticed you are pretty good at getting your left wheel directly on that "1" sign on the apron at Goroka! Quick Question: is Pinji (mentioned by ATC as Stuart's destination) a helicopter-only location?

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Yes it's a heli location only right now

[@wayne9638]

Thank you Ryan, too much to learn from you !, specially for us flying in the mountains of Los Andes, Neuquen, Argentina

[@nbt3663]

This folks are very blessed youre able to do the hard part for them. I would think roads are extremely difficult and make travel difficult.

[@snatr]

Wow. With all the before flight prep that goes on, I'm surprised you guys get there before dark 😋 Great video though 👍

[@Alex000113]

Glad you mentioned your local knowledge and the time to get it. Taking off and landing at over 5000ft is alien to most, you seem comfortable with the mountains and clouds, Im not a pilot but I get uncomfortable seeing you within 500ft of mountain tops and around so many valleys. As you said you can fly into a trap you cant get out of. Appreciate your videos !

[@jonathanrex]

That was very impressive and entertaining to watch. Thank you for uploading! I realise that the decision on top or below doesn't seem to be too easy even for experienced pilots. I remember to have once been on top for 2 hours and hoped for a hole at the end of that leg. My alternative would have been to divert relatively far towards the sea and then return between ceiling and coast.It felt quite relieving when it opened in front of the runway.

[@waynehurtig8198]

..I like time laps really can see how you follow valleys

[@raould2590]

Wonderful sense of priority...where you cant take a sick lady versus whatever the else you have. Missionaries for sure!!!

[@Bob-ww4mk]

I will look for a video from you that talks about the plan for an emergency landing in these beautiful mountains.

[@zappatx]

You are the most skilled pilot ever!! What I mean is we know many could have this level of skill but adding in the cameras must add to the stress and distraction. Could you (or have you) done a video on the camera work/stresses involved with this? Is it worth it??

[@nofider1]

Cheers Ryan. Love this format, Brilliant video. Thank you. :-)

[@alessandromenis2653]

Fantastic job , well done

[@bwk4528]

Yes Ryan Farran, the safety of flying in a particular area is super super important. It's really really important especially with the little helicopters Ethnos360 is flying in Papua New Guinea, as they are very susceptible to being blown out of the sky in high winds or turbulent air flows. Here in New Zealand our crash rate with all the models of the Robinson helicopters is much higher than in the US where you come from. Our aviation authorities are having trouble working out why we have this higher crash rate and they don't seem to be able to get a handle on it. They have a special watch list for looking into the safety record of the operation of Robinson helicopters in New Zealand.

[@frankbruno7122]

BTW.. I enjoyed the short intro with the aircraft prep and office.. Frank in Colorado

[@joecooksey4331]

Landing on a postage stamp requires balls of titanium and son... you got um.

[@waldoinaz]

Spent the day in Kingman. Didn’t see you overhead in the kitfox once.

[@freedomforever6718]

It's the same with the game of golf. You mentally visualize the flight of the golf ball before you swing.

[@flywithjazza162]

Damn that was a cool timelapse at the end!

[@justincase5272]

Always round up to the nearest less favorable increment! Assuming your ADC allows you to select weight in 10-lb increments, with an actual weight of 1,294 lbs, you should set the ADC for 1,300 for cargo. Ask me how many 2,500+ ways I know...

[@mattwalters3304]

Are you checklists run through that box on top of the panel? If not, what is that?? Love the videos!

[@davewestner]

Man, if you were a CFI before you got this gig, I bet you were a darned good one. Curious to know how the decision to send the helicopter instead of the other plane. Figure it's probably just what's available at the time, but maybe there's another reason?

[@MissionaryBushPilot]

Because he was heading to a heli location, but had too much to bring back, so he dropped the pax off at a nearby airport for me to get

[@pfv3462]

I think that with a flight sim you can also visualize new flights, if the topographical data of that region is correct.

[@sterlingarcher4121]

Stunning time lapse

[@caiolinnertel8777]

Not so sure patterns work everywhere. I few in the Rockies, and expecting patterns can be dangerous. I found having several outs necessary. Of course USA flying is so different in every way from weather to regulations. Seems that being so close the equator seems to make the winds and weather very different than here in North America. And I have to day climate change has changed what I've seen flying the last few years. Fun videos, I just love the scenery and watching the Kodiak do it's thang!!!

[@akiko009]

I'm not sure why you were so concerned about people critiquing the flight. It was perfectly fine, especially considering that clearly both the pilot and the aircraft are capable of IFR if needed. Plan A - VFR. Plan B - IFR back to base. No big deal.

[@supersonique001]

Looks like a good landing to me, your head phones did not fall off so all good!

[@gregstereus]

Seemed like an early flare which made him bounce up and down a couple times, and the stall warning alarm came on for half a sec. But yes a safe landing nonetheless!
