They call it the most dangerous place to be a pilot… We take you on a visually jaw-dropping and dramatic tour into the world of young British pilots flying around some of the most breath-taking, remote and dangerous locations on earth... Indonesian airline, Susi Air, offers novice pilots who have as little as 250 hours of flying time an opportunity to rack up enough flying hours to land them a safer higher paying commercial airline job back home. The pilots have to fly in the enormously testing outer regions of Indonesia, where the weather is constantly unpredictable, the runways are cut into the side of mountains and the remote airstrips are separated by miles of dense jungle. So are the risks worth it?
In this episode, Captain Sam Quinn finds himself in the middle of a family dispute as he delivers much needed supplies to a remote Papuan tribes people. When bows and arrows are drawn he makes a swift exit. Back at base he comes down with malaria, a disease which could end his flying career. Captain Guy Richardson is treated like a king as he opens a remote island runway for the very first time. Rookie Nick Holmes faces an intense assessment that will decide if he's allowed to finally get behind the controls of a plane.
