Bush flying is some of the toughest flying most of us could ever do. When I got my S-12, I spent a couple dozen hours doing nothing but T&Gs on an 800ft dirt strip. 21 in an hour is my record. I've landed in a 20G35kt crosswind in a glorified kite. That was the only time ever wished I was on the ground when flying. Even stalling while turning final was less scary. When I experienced inadvertent flight into IMC in the mountains, I thought, 'I have GPS, ADS-B in and AHRS; I'll be fine if I just trust the instruments.''.
Yes he is an awesome pilot ✈ Blancolirio Chanel [ Juan Browne } is a great pilot as well ! Juan is very informative about all aspects of flying , training, and accident analysis! 👀
@@toolnuts7777 haha that is the second channel I am always watching especially since I found him when Kobe (RIP) died and he explained it well what happened to a non pilot.
I used to do these types of flights. Most were in small twin reciprocals… some turbines ( ie. King Airs, Conquests, etc. A lot of night. ‘ mountain IMC. I was single pilot then. Then I went to the 121 carriers with two pilot operations. I didn’t realize what I had been doing! lol Single pilot ops in the conditions you fly in and I used to fly in… WhEW!!! Scare the Hell out of me. I have ultimate respect for you and your experience! I’d be too scared to go back to that type of flying! You’re illustrating that you’re one of the best pilots out there!! And you’re humble about it! Folks, I’m going to brag on this young man. He is a very skilled and safety conscious pilot!!
The experience of piloting a modern nicely equipped turbo-prop jet airplane is enough "pay" for most men who love to fly airplanes😇. @@futuremissionarypilotsmech7486
I've watched just a few of your video's but today I watched the Pilot Debrief channel with Hoover who covered this video and I believe a few other previous video's. Hoover covers how well you handle bad situations so you can continue to be with us to do another video. I will be watching your video's Ryan and because of Hoover who really got me started on your channel I just subbed as well. I saw bits and pieces of this flight from Hoover but I will now watch it in full. Keep safe and thank you for the flights.
I follow your videos on TH-cam. I am a pilot. Was a Cadet Pilot with Air Niugini under the scholarship scheme program, however did further the training and hence funded my training in Sydney. Due to funding, I was not able to complete my CPL and MECIR. Funding has been and issue and now I am 35years old with two kids, 6 and 3, but I still have this dream to one day fly the skies of PNG. Your videos are a big motivation for me. Keep the videos coming. Cheers.
One of the reasons I don't have kids is because I wanted to fly. I became an A&P because I wanted to be a better than average pilot. I bought a RANS S-12 and learned bush flying because it is the biggest challenge in aviation short of joining the Air Force. I'd love to just pull up stakes and go to PNG to be a bush pilot. But I'm 43 and have too many medical issues to get a CPL. At least I can still fly for fun. I also have the option to become a flight instructor through the US FAA Light Sport category. Maybe I can't be a bush pilot in PNG but I could teach others how to land on the side of a mountain. Quality initial basic flight instruction can make a huge impact on the trajectory of a commercial pilot's career and influence how safe they are in the air through the course of their career.
I am a flying enthusiast and have flown few aircrafts for fun. But I learn a lot from you. You have taught many people many things in piloting world. Forgot to mention …Your flying skills are raw. I've been following you for ages since you started your TH-cam channel. I have watched almost all your videos' since the beginning of it. I must say , you have unique way of expressing thing. Your attention to details when it comes to aircraft/flightpath/cargo and the delivery are impeccable. Moreover you share information's that are new to many and your videography skills allowing the world to see what you do is uncommendable. You are a great youtuber even while piloting. Cheers! from Dubai
Great video - Just had one point, I know you had the seatbelt round it but I've heard some bad stories of life rafts being carried in the front seat, if they deploy accidentally for some reason they inflate and ram the yoke into a full nose down, with no hope of recovery. Stay safe!
Scary but cool . I'm a VFR 172 amateur and really admire what you do. You would not survive long in your environment without total professionalism on every flight and you demonstrate that in spades. Thanks for the great video.
Same here. 300 hour 172 and PA-28 "pilot" here, and I've only ever flown in nice VFR. I took a night instrument lesson once, and I said, "Yep, I'll end up dead if I keep doing this." One and done. Scary stuff. Far cry from flight simulator.
Thank you for recording this adventure. It really was a great example of keeping your head when things don't go the way you want. Your planning made the dynamic situations manageable, and your readiness to call a miss kept you in control to give your planning a chance to play out. Great video!
Like videos very informative, I think indigenous Papua New Guinean living in outskirts rural villages in the mountain terrains,valleys,plateaus,surely by now the people you've help knows you personally by name,your service has helped us PNG. God bless you and your family...keep your videos coming. Trupla Pilot ,Thumbs up!
@@jeremybillingham Whether god exists or not is hugely important. Some of those who say yes, fly planes into buildings to punish other 'yes' sayers. Some yes sayers tell young women they should be kept in a dark cellar away from the eyes of decent chritians. My mother said that to my daughter and almost caused a miscarriage. Yes it matters.
I'm a 60 hour student pilot about to sit my PPL in Australia. Your a huge inspiration. I have learned so much from your vids - I aim to be as profeciant as a pilot like yourself one day. Much respect
Dave from Brisbane, Australia. here. I am an ex-Flight instructor. Good luck with your flying. . No need for me to tell you use a checklist all the time and keep away from cloud. It’s a killer
Beautiful Approach and Landing MBP. Way to maintain your cool and patience and not rushing it. Great departure planning too with the addition of extra fuel.
I can just hear my instructor, "so, when this bad idea becomes apparent, what is our exit plan?" Great job explaining the thought process. Always fun to watch an IRL demonstration of 💩 hitting the fan.
Honestly is there anyone in Papua new guinea who's a native who's out there flying much less instrument approaches in a GA plane? Is this how air traffic works in Papua new guinea? Your talking like your in the US, even saying the aiporrt name + traffic. Is that how it works in other countries too?
@@davidt8087So it is mostly international standard. If you look up ICAO it explains a lot. This is a super complex to sum up in a chat, but since the founding of aviation the world has looked to keep it standardized, commonly safe and available... as available as it can be anyway. The radio telephony can be a bit more diverse, but still relatively in line with a common standard.

I'm not a pilot but am the captain of a sailboat, so I appreciate the navigational skills required for IFR and VFR, especially living here in S.E. Alaska. We have some amazing bush pilots who can drop you into a mountain lake, flying a Cessna 206 on floats! Plus, the Alaska Airlines pilots are simply the best! I like how you talk your approaches out, out loud, as well as your preflight check list. I watch the channel for 'Pilot Debrief' and he has mentioned the need to not only do the preflight check list, but to also say it out loud as the pilot is going thru it prior to flight. Thanks for the good flight and entertaining content...
Yes, I was fortunate to team up with Bush Pilot in Alaska. We did the Glacier run out of Spit Alaska. Then up over the top of mountains was a bit on the edge, as if reaching out touching mountain peaks. Quite the experience. With very talented pilot. Cheers
Hi Ryan, really enjoyed this trip, edge of seat stuff, I am a retired old school of round dials and paper charts etc, working like a one arm paper hanger, the gear you have onboard is essential for single pilot opps in PNG, I had some friends flying there back in the day and the stories would make your hair stand on end, please keep up the vid's and be safe.😅

Very well flown and excellent decision skills from a well trained experienced pilot. Setting a great example especially for younger pilots building time. Well done Ryan 🇦🇺✈️
Thx for showing us a challenging real world situation. As an ultralight pilot, skydiver and scuba diver I congratulate how you exemplify professionalism and confidence earned through training and adherence to procedures.
MAY GOD BLESS AND PROTECT YOU ON YOUR MANY TRAVELS, AND KEEP YOU FROM CRASHING, SINCE I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL SO MUCH, AND YOUR ENTHUSIASM, AND YOUR PASSION, AND BECAUSE I WANT TO COME DOWN AND FLY WITH YOU SOMEDAY !!!!!!!!!!! IN JESUS' NAME I PRAY !!!
The equipment you have for this flight is great. Back in the day, we did all of this, sans instrument approach and IFR operations and no radar, no autopilot, etc. This is normal ops, every day, in the life of any professional pilot around the world.
I remember flying into Mt Hagen and out from Mendi in the Southern Highlands in 1978. The major hazard for pilots then was what they called Cumulus Granitus. Some big hills up there.
"Cumulus Granitus" - like that! PNG certainly certainly has plenty of clouds with rocks in them. I only fly in simmulation but you really do have to know where those rocks are to fly safely. PNG's ATC and air regulation may seem basic but I've come to realise it works. Ryan has patiently explained how the VFR, IFR and vertical clearances work in PNG and after several years of simming in PNG (especially the central mountains) even when in cloud I have a fair understandig of the hidden terrain but above all - GPS. Even so, flights in those areas still make me tense. My dad was a navigator in the RAF in WW2 and operated on interdiction missions over Burma at night with no navigation aids at all. I take my hat off to all you pilots who flew and navigated before the electronic revolution.
My friend, that was an awesome landing considering the weather. You quite a pilot, sir! Love watching you as I love flying and that would have very cool. Fortunately, the landing strip was visible when you needed it! Take care mate!
Just a note on your approach procedures, I also commented on Hoover's debrief of this flight as that's where I noticed it. Using 1500' to WF FAF is not the correct procedure, use 1700' as depicted in the briefing strip, 1700' is the procedure min altitude. The sector min altitude of 1500' between WI and WF is for obstacle clearance only, it's often not the same as the procedure altitude and for reference only. Descending to 1500' prior to the FAF at WF would be a bust on any checkride in the U.S. because your below the minimum altitude of 1700' at the FAF. Safe flying!
I'm a serious sim pilot with a G-1000 which I love! Great watching your wonderful videos. Thanks for doing them! Blue skies up (when you can see them)!
Awesome seeing an approach with a missed. Gotta stay cool and just follow the charts. 😊 bravo sir! Clear skies! I’ll be ordering more stuff from your site this week.
I have don some full on Instrument approaches never once had a problem and my plane had at best half the fancy things these guys have . There are places that do make even the best equip plane a challenge to land .
Love this video! I've flown IFR in the soup before in real life but doing that in PNG with all its rugged terrain would be something else. Well done eventually making it down.
Had you flown the CANPA you would have had a better chance of seeing the runway the first time. The MDA restricts forward vis due to the aircraft,s level flight profile. I loved your Sungle pilot CRM and PDMP. Excellent flight management.
Great flight and most of all great decision making. To many pilots thinking they can make it if they just go a bit lower, calling missed was the right call. Friends of mine are in PNG so thanks for serving the community's out there safely

Thanks for the flight Ryan, great view, great info, super quality, as always.
New Britain, New Ireland, Bougainville, all those islands are interesting.
Well done Ryan. Thank you.❤
Pilot hebat..jempol untukmu Ryan
That’s How it’s done and you did a awesome iFR approach to land
Great example, doesn’t get any more informative than this. Well done again.👌🏼
That was cool about the contents of your vest and the raft over water regs.
You should be careful while flying, because it is one engine aeroplane & good luck always.
Nice work my man! That’s how you IFR a Aircraft. Hats of to you. That was a note worthy performance to a rookie like me.. right on!
There are some pretty atolls down there!😍
Thanks 😊
Had you flown the CANPA you would have had a better chance of seeing the runway the first time. The MDA restricts forward vis due to the aircraft,s level flight profile. I loved your Sungle pilot CRM and PDMP. Excellent flight management.
Great flight and most of all great decision making. To many pilots thinking they can make it if they just go a bit lower, calling missed was the right call. Friends of mine are in PNG so thanks for serving the community's out there safely
Very well done!
