The effort and quality you put into your videos are top notch, all kind of camera angles, screen captures, explanations. Pales other "professional" productions and considering its a one man show, just wow!
Wow thanks! I appreciate that. 😀
I totally agree with that. The only other TH-camr that matches this quality is Dutch Pilot Girl. Her content is very different, but super quality and info. These are the only two aviation channels I follow. I recommend them both to my friends.
It's funny how some people seem to have a natural talent for producing interesting content.
@@bodystomp5302 it's the commitment to deliver quality, and engagement with the audience that definitely wins. Also, let's face it, not everybody is putting a plane down on a short airstrip 3/4 of the way up a mountain, or taking off again off a cliff edge. It's pretty amazing stuff isn't it.
@@spaceskipster4412 yes, in terms of where and how Ryan is flying, no other aviation channels I've seen compare.
Right on the numbers. Cool. Only one of my instructors showed me how to do this while he was with me on a check out ride. I caught on right away and started to use way less runway.
Almost makes me feel as if I'm back in left seat.
Very interesting and fun to watch. I don't know if you had explained in any of your videos how you ended up in Australia? I am a female pilot in NY and in this day and age you would think there would be more of us. And I like the fact that you say don't push the envelope in any way.
Awesome stuff sir.
Coming in to land you see all grass then 35R thought you might say they need to cut the grass.
“Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing” my flight instructor told me
"pause system test...OK" lol thought I was in the sim for second.
It's actuallly "TAWS system test", TAWS standing for Terrain Alert Warning System. Full explanation here www.skybrary.aero/index.php/Terrain_Avoidance_and_Warning_System_(TAWS) .
@@breytac ahh... thanks for the info. It did sound not exactly right but I couldn't figure it out. Appreciate the link.. always learning : )
The pilot that crashed you mention was David Tong. He was a great guy, went to Juilliard school with him, he played piano as masterfully as he used to fly. Very unfortunate accident. Rest In Peace David
damn
During this video, cargo securement you spoke of is a huge part of my world as I'm a truck driver pulling 8 axle
(super B) with two trailers gross weigh around 63,500 kg. Concerning load securement; forward, vertical and rearward movement all being taken into account by our law by mandating certain requirements, Having hauled steel coils and drill stem among other large items, The initial tightness of and the properties of the material that make up the load securement device ei; chain or synthetic web can make a big difference the less momentum the load can achieve in relation to the deck it is secured to in the initial deceleration event the less likely of exceeding the breaking strength of the securement points and the device itself, more is always better!
While I'm far from trying to explain your job which is a very dynamic environment there are certain similarities! Securement failed has been fatal in both industries. While properly secured loads stayed secured to the vehicle despite vehicles being destroyed.
The best advice I was given as a young driver pulling flatdeck, a old timer said to me those chains that are hanging in your rack won't do a thing to help you in a wreck, take the time to meet and exceed the load tiedown limits by using them all may save your life or those around you!
Again Best of Luck your doing a fantastic job with noble intentions!
I have a great appreciation for the fact your taking the time to share your experiences with the rest of the world! Fly Safe!
Sincerely,
Jon Spencer

Thumbs up for talking to us like we are passengers in the back seat.
Thanks for watching
Its been 53 years since I left Madang to fly to Brisbane to continue schooling. I love these videos because it takes me back to some of the places I flew to as a kid. Different times, but I used to hitch hike through Papua New Guinea with any pilot that would let me ride along. Ryans flights allow me to be back there and yet enjoy his flights from the comfort of my ice cold air in USA Florida. My Dad worked for the Lutheran Mission. The Lutheran Mission and the Catholic Mission both had air service from Madang. My favorite pilot was Ray Jensch. Ray fought in the Battle of Britain and was truly an ACE. I can tell that New Guinea has advanced a lot into the technical age. Those old flights I had were mostly from the seat of the pants. Thank God electronics have advanced and help to preserve life and limb. It also helps to not have to pull tree branches out of the wheal wells when you land.
What I appreciate above all in your videos is your absolute professionalism - by which I mean your constant observance of the numbers including the speeds, the heights, the weather, the procedures (including reciting the EFTO procedure each time), the capabilities and the limitations of your aircraft and your situational awareness. The air is a very, very unforgiving medium and it's only this approach to aviation which ensures your and your passengers' survival. Well done and keep it up!
@Hello James how are you doing?
Learned to fly back a few years ago (1957) and after I got out of college (in 1961)I was thinking about trying to become an MAF pilot. But things like getting drafted and then getting married put a an end to those dreams. Fun to watch someone that got to do what I always wanted to.As I'm now 83, my flying days are over, but watching your clips keeps my adrenaline up to temp. Thanks.
Thanks for watching, glad to hear you enjoy them
Great flight. Love your professionalism. The under wing shots are fantastic! Stay safe.
Thanks a lot!
Ryan always has an audience for his takeoffs! So cool!
It's the Ryan fan club. :-)
Just on the thought about loads in aircraft there has been some nasty accidents where the load has moved changing the centre of gravity of an aircraft. Sure the weight calculations are important but so is how the load is secured.
Some very wise words here
I dig the little animation showing the crossing route (10:45) of your aircraft and another. The iPad screen recording and extra post-production touches like this are what put your channel at the top of my favorites. Attention to detail is fantastic!
_Specificity is the soul of narrative._ - John Hodgman
Glad to hear it
Hi Ryan, incredible, I watch the video, drinking cup of coffee and it that moment you talk about your today's load on board. Immediately I checked the Fairtrade code on the package and it's from HOAC - The Highland Organic Agriculture Cooperative in Goroka! Many thanks and greetings to all of you there, please spread the word.

Love your vids! May you fly on the wings of Jesus always! ❤️
Your attention to detail and overall professionalism are admirable. Regards from a retired USAF F-15 pilot and retired UPs B-757 Captain.
i love the view of the cockpit ,i find the instruments at work so fascinating also the outside view of the people and terrain on take offs .another great vid mate.
Love your videos and the narration. You explain what you are doing very clearly. I am sure you love your job which is why you are still there. Yours is the most challenging flying any pilot could ask for. Your skills have to be extremely sharp because there is no margin for error when you are flying through mountainous terrain. Good luck and fly safe!
You know its a tough take off when V1 is at brakes release!!!!!
Every once in a while I go "whoa, there's another plane down there in the left corner of my vision" until I realize (again) that its the watermark of your logo....
Another great video! The amount of low level flying you do in between PNG's beautify mountains makes for exciting content. Pilots can learn so much from your videos. For example, your experience with the cloud banks over mountain ranges and initially worrying about there not being a way through.
"Terrain ahead" - Good thing you checked. It wouldn't be nice to hear you say; "Hey what are them mountain goats doing way up in the clouds?" - pilot joke 😋
we might be watching "snakes on a plane"!
Your videos are very exciting love the camera angles and its nice to hear you say the checklist out loud and not just flip buttons. Keep up the great work!
Off topic but I love seeing the locals watch the plane fly. Reminds me of back home
Flying low through the valley with the shadow of the Kodak looked so great! Always enjoy the very high quality production and the explanation of different topics related to aviation. The weight and balance app looks really cool... and shows how important it is to make sure your cargo stays in one place. Really enjoyed this one... thanks so much!
I would love to be your co-pilot dude. Although I might need diapers here and then.
I'd like to add to the comments already made. I really enjoy your videos and I continue to learn a lot about carrying out flights in a professional and calm manner. I was born in Bougainville, so I have a real interest in what you're doing! Well done sir. Great work. Be encouraged. It must be a massive amount of work but it gives a real idea of the challenges that you face, and provides a great standard for other pilots to aspire to. I was very fortunate to be involved in filming the introduction of the Kodiak operating for MAF USA in Kalimantan - what a great aircraft it is!
Absolutely amazing content. You've got all my respect, Ryan!
Also worth mentioning, the "live cargo" that has a tendency to move around under its own steam.
If you are flying in a small aircraft, (or indeed any aircraft), keep yourself strapped in, unless you need to move about.
If things slow down, speed up, or turn rapidly and you 'aint tied down, you too will go flying round the cabin with potentially disastrous consequences.
Great content. Informative descriptions as always and impressive scenery. Fly safe. Looking forward to the next video.
Hi, I am Michael Libby from Suriname South America. I don't have time to watch all of your videos but I do enjoy what I watch. A few days ago a small airplanes landing gear broke on landing. The airstrip is like the ones you fly to. I am not a pilot but from the information I get from your videos I think the airplane was overloaded and landed too slow for the weight it was carrying and the lost too much altitude to quick. I hope someday to be able to fly also. I have been in different airplanes, both big and small but to be able to fly ya need a lot of money. But trusting God to open doors if that is His will. I thank God for pilots like you, that make it possible for missionaries to bring the gospel in all parts of the world. We have MAF in Suriname also and I used to know some of the people there.
Great video! Like the safety focus. Love the extra external shots especially at the airstrip. Your cargo reminded me of something. Coffee trees grew well where I grew up in PNG. We had a grove out the back but I don't remember anyone harvesting ours. Us kids never ventured far in because it was a favourite home to Golden Orb spiders who had an annoying habit of placing their webs at head height so the spider itself was always sitting just out of sight above us. Anyway, we loved to pick the coffee berries at the edge of the grove when they turned red. We spat the skin out, ate the delicious flesh and spat out the seed/pip. I laugh now because although I had seen the locals laying out coffee beans on mats to dry and knew they would be bagged, sold and flown out on the Cessna, I somehow never connected that to the 'seeds/pips' we threw away or the coffee my dad drank every day.
Wonderful pictures. Taking us places. May God keep you in the palms of his hands always as you faithfully serve him through aviation ministry.
"Once my brakes are released, I'm committed to takeoff" yikes :D
@Hello Jay how are you doing?
If I got "sink rate" at work, I'd be having tea and biscuits with the boss straight after. Love the freedom you get with your job.
I love the Quest Kodiak! So glad I found this channel. I am a “pastor/pilot” living in Pennsylvania.
aft CG "easier to rotate.. easier to flare.." Its also harder to recover from a stall.. but an aft CG also gives you better performance... few kts faster, less drag and better fuel burn.
Geeez, absolutely no room for error on that take-off (like most of yours, Ryan). Hope you never ever have to abort up there in the bush. God speed my friend. Great vids. Cheers.
Aren't all pilots have no room for errors
Is the cabin pressurized or are you flying with oxygen ? I do not see an oxygen tube near your nose ? Is it possible , to fly using instruments through clouds without too much danger in this case ? Also you could have flown 12,000 ft. without desending and re-ascending to avoid cloud cover
But great great video and knowledge for me. Thanks for uploading.
Man, love your work and the effort you put into your videos, I really respect the impact you're making in the Kingdom! I'm looking forward to serving soon, worked at an international Missions organization but the program was prematurely cancelled before I could start training but I do believe it is the single purpose of my life to make a difference using aviation - with that said I would love to see more about life outside of the cockpit as a Missionary pilot.
(New subscriber) I really enjoy your videos. Beautiful quality, great explanations of the details in flight and appreciate how you help the locals out. Very nice work all the way around.
Those main gear legs get a really good workout on those strips. Is there a service limit imposed e.g. replacement after 1000, or whatever, landings?
Great video. I love your detailed explanations of everything, specially you drawing details on the map, w&b, etc.!
It's the talking through the checklists, possibilties and flight - so engaging. Totally agree.
I like your video. You reminded me of my father, who flew Cessna plane with the Philippines air force and later, with an American timber company in that country.
Holes in the clouds? We call them "sucker holes". I'm sure your're familiar with the term. Stay safe.
Hi Ryan.Just bought the "Carenado-C208B-XP11" As soon as get familiar with the G1000 I`ll try and simulate some of your flights.Man.it is a big load but.......Thanx for the vids.You make it look so simple but even if its just a sim for me, I know it is far more complicated.Respect...as always a big like from me...
G day Ryan how things ? Watching this great video flight service carry 2,000 lbs of cargo aar , amazing eh , I can understand when you always carefully double checked your calculations to be sure your weight always inside your flight envelope eh , specially when sometimes you carried some heavy loads across to some rural areas and I can tell the feelings of trying to land the aircraft safely on the aerodrome runways which some are long grasses wet or muddy and slippery , and these aerodrome runways mostly on the side of the mountain uphill 3 to 5 degree slope and with wet conditions its abit tough to make your decisions for landing if its wet and very soft surfaces so your tires won t sink in to the mud eh hehehehehh disaster ! Anyway , all good mate , I enjoyed all the beautiful view from all angles , wonderful , keep it up good work , good on you mate , God bless
Takes me back, having flown from Port Moresby to Hoskins, and over the Kokoda, stunning scenery! Stayed at the Airways Hotel in Port Moresby, and watched all the Caravans and Twin Otters and Air Niugini taking off and landing.
Oof, couldn't ignore that "PULL UP" in an airliner, but bush planes are something else :) Great video as always!
I was flying the same route from Goroka to that 450 m hillstrip and I was in a Cessna 172. I made it through that Gap you mentioned right west of the AYDN. I barely made it over the mountains due to a little icing. Of course not in real life but in MSFS 2020. You inspired me to use NeoFlight and be a "virtual" bush pilot delivering goods and passengers in that area of operation 😁😄. Love how you comment your vids with all that technical details you give👍🤘
As a kid I got to fly all around New Zealand with my dad and his friend in his 4 seater single engine Cesner. This brings me back
Another great video. Thank you Ryan.
Also, In the event of severe turbulence or when making emergency avoidance maneuvers, inadequately secured cargo can shift and change the aircraft CG and/or balance potentially resulting in a difficult or impossible to control aircraft.
I have never seen flights like these before. I find them extraordinary and exciting. I am now adding you, "Missionary Bush Pilots," to my daily prayer list. Last night I viewed you for the first time, and I got a light stomach, but tonight I am okay. I weep in prayer for you, as I do for my missionaries, I never knew to pray for you before I viewed this, because I never thought about it. May God continue to bless you and your family, special. Until Jesus returns.
As always, awesome landing, and what a flight...you handle the weight, the turbulence on final, and all the clouds with a professionalism that you always exude. The term, Bush pilot,somehow doesn't fully describe your abilities and airmanship...professional pilot is a much better description. Stay safe, enjoy the view and blue skies and tail winds:)
Must be a treat for the locals when you fly the valley after passing the Bena Gap. Even if a plane passes everyday, flying that low would have to catch the imagination of the kids. You've captured this old man's imagination and I'm watching on a computer. HaHa Good Stuff. Thanks.
You should rename Betty to Karen, as she’s always nagging you about terrain.
That pull up warning make my neck hair stand up ....
Gr8 content Ryan, thank you, very informative for an ex glider pilot, hence would love to know more about your engine/power management. You often refer to your ITT settings at different stages of the flight. Please explain to what the abbreviation refers. Also, at the risk of boring other viewers, would you mind explaining your start-up engine checks a little, as you mention you monitor for peaks (reaching but not exceeding certain values) on some engine monitoring instruments (torque / rev’s ?). I presume the turbo prop is a little different to an engine without a turbo.....best wishes, keep up the good work. Rob Crosley
27:45 This taxiway marked as a landing strip...
Great to watch a landing at Goroka once again. The last time I flew into Goroka was in 1988 in the RHS of 206 MAF ac with a load of schoolkids in the rear flying from boardingschool in Wau to Goroka for the holidays. Looks a lot different. At that time the MAF hangar was on the opposite side of the airport halfway down. Great trip into old times. Thanks for that Ryan! 😊👍🏼
These guys are so exited to see you fly. I’m sure they dont see that many other planes
Brilliant buddy. You have to watch the terrain when you come out of clouds you don't no how high the terrain is till you have dropped a little. Very skill full job. Awesome buddy phil.
@Hello Philip how are you doing?
Did I just get click baited by a fucking pilot?
This is the stuff I like to learn about
Why would the GPS compute erroneous elevations differences from the basemaps? That's pretty disturbing and shocking.
who knows,
The GPS does not compute the height of the mountains but reads them from a database and like all databases they are only as good as the information entered so rubbish in produces rubbish out.
Another great Video! Although I'm familiar with it from working C-130s for years, I liked the cargo strap down and the W&B/CG explanation from civilian flying perspective.
@Hello Ken how are you doing?
Your landings never cease to impress!👏🏻
23:00 "Schink rate" - This brings a funny association as a German to me, since "Schinken" is German for beacon. --> "Schink rate" -> "tasty beacon rate". :) :D
Just liked, Belled and Subscribed. I'm from UK by the way. 👍 👍 👍
Welcome aboard!
Just looking for where you flew from and to and I can find GOROKA but not sure where you took of from? was going to have a look in Flightsim 2020 to see if it was there?
Thanks for sharing. As a pilot myself you learn things everyday!
Really nice 👍 flight today,Ryan. Beautiful approach into Geroka. (sp?) and a. Great landing to boot 👢. Thanks for the ride.
Pilot lingo question: When you are talking with ATC, you refer to some place or position (i think) as "at time 34" or "time 14" (probably not a direct quote from this vid). What is the time reference? Something like 2200 Zulu I recognize.
@Hello Xiansen how are you doing?
Ryan as always a great video. Keep up the great work, stay safe and God bless.
Yes, the tie-down stuff needs to be examined.......I flew freight in a DC3.......but every load had to be inspected and accepted before dispatch. Even in training aircraft, part of the prefight interior including inspecting the baggage compartment, and, especially, underneath the rudder pedals. Never know with a rental aircraft what the person previously left behind. Also taught aerobatics and spin training for 10 years......so this inspection was especially important, including non-used seat belts secured.....even in rental aircraft. Weight and balance........ultimate priority!
for sure in a rental plane to inspect under your rudder pedals. Thats a good suggestion.
The landscapes and skys are really lovely. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
@@MissionaryBushPilot What is the knot called that you use?
Love your videos, just wish you would put in more video after you land and park to get a feel of the people that you interact with at each point, doesnt have to be but just a couple of minutes, I think that would be great IMO.
Don’t ya just hate it when they give you the crummy runway... What are they saving 35L for, doesn’t look like they have a pattern full of Airbus 380’s or Boeing 777’s waiting to land, lol... You’re a TH-cam celebrity Ryan, they should give you the big runway just to show off their dinky little airport... at least in my humble opinion... By the way, I know you’ll say it’s closer to the ramp and you don’t have to land a mile down the left.. Guess it’s my own prop versus jet inferiority complex...
I could request the longer, MUCH nicer runway, and I do if I have a 20+ knot tailwind due to learking thunderstorms or if there is a lot of windshear
very Good, thank for dis clip
Hi Ryan. Greetings from Borneo. I've been following your channel i think for the last 6 months. I really appreciate what you're doing there in Papua. Keep up the good work. i've aldy subscibe and i look forward to more vids from you, Cheers and god bless.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video, and good to know how you strap everything down safely. You seemed to land quite flat or is it the angle of the camera. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
how do you not need oxygin flying above FL100? - As far as i know, the kodiak is unpressurized?
Almost like a Ski Jump take off on an aircraft carrier :)
Flying these routes on msfs just shows how much competence you need to have. No room for error, I couldn't imagine how the real life stress could add to it. You are incredible
I hear that I'm using xplane mobile to check Papua New Guinea out, of course only a few available aircraft that are available are even remotely suited to the smaller airfields. As much as it's got nothing on the real thing it still allows with a certain imagination the difficulties faced by these pilots to be appreciated!
What are your favourites?
So far I have take off from woitape (Wtp) to Port Moresby (AYPY) this was on X-plane mobile in the Kingair single pilot light on fuel no cargo so around 9000lbs if I recall correctly taking off downhill of course engines to full power they will overpower the brakes/wheel traction once spun up with a short flight into Port Moresby I also did a flight in the SF-50 Vision jet(not really suitable as it needs around 1700 to stop and 2000 to get back out) but that's from memory reading literature
And I just can't recall the air strips but I left from a towered and paved airport North north east of port moresby on the northeastern coast and took a short flight inland over a mountain ridge the Garmin 1000 showed it as a hard surface runway at least a few thousand feet but it was not paved and had gravel near the runway end I left it at that point as I was falling asleep lol
I wish I had more that I could suggest but I am still just now in the exploration phase for Papua New Guinea ask again in a few months as I will gave had Time to get that Cessna 172sp into some of the tighter strips!
I'm also open to any suggestions but it's really not to hard to spot the difficult strips just by looking at the chart.
Best regards

@@FastUgly thanks!
No problem I just finished Bololo (BOL) Zenag (ZEN) Nadzab (AYNZ) at zen I landed on 30 or into the mountains is nothing took crazy took off the opposite way just for a bit more room to climb before heading north to Nadzab flying the cessna 172sp if wasn't particularly hard but if you make a few adjustments to the weather could change that in a hurry also Nadzab has a VOR /DME antenna if you do opt for weather min safe altitude is 9300 for that area but once your north of zen 5 miles or so it drops off and there are a few lower passes if you can see them anyhow I'm sure you can sort all that out yourself
Best regards
Jon
Honestly I think I have decided that the sweet spot for amazingly awesome content from creators that's just engaging as hell is right at 100k to 250k subscribers. I don't fly at all and I find this so interesting. Definitely subbed. I have followed a few other small channels in other areas from their beginnings, my favorite being Andrew Jensen a golf youtuber who plays mini tours. Great videos I am on a binge right now!
If you ever decide to quit youtube make sure to let us know, so we don't assume the worst. Love the content, makes me want to get my glider license.
for sure
Love the channel Ryan. You have ignited my return to flying!! Cheers from Adelaide. South Australia! Stay safe up there.
Aft CG (within you A/C's envelope) is great! Besides the benefits you mentioned, you also save fuel while increasing your TAS. The science is easy to understand. When your CG is forward you need more back stick (up elevator) to maintain level flight. High elevator means more drag (like speed brakes). Aft CG gives you a more streamlined elevator.
A fellow pilot & I ferried two equally powered C172s about 185 km (100 nm). He bet me dinner he could beat me to the destination, adding we can't fly faster than 100 kts (IAS). Then he said, "I'll even throw two gallon jugs of water in my luggage bin, to give you an advantage."
Long story short, he beat me by EIGHT MINUTES!
BTW, great content & running commentary! I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel!
Thank you! I liked this talk around cargo/load security. Small portions of information that makes your vlogs so nice to wiev
Glad you enjoyed it!
@Hello Rolf how are you doing?
As always a great escape.. being on full lockdown here in Liverpool England gets tough but your vlog really helps escape the stress of it all ..cheers pal 👍
Glad to help
That's real piloting! Thanks for sharing and fly safe!
Once again a surperb video, thanks Ryan, love the strips you get to into. 14% slope, that’s incredible, stay safe.......Roger
My 3 year old grandson is going to love these videos. He loves airplanes and can name a lot of them His other Grandpa is a mechanic for the Lancaster Bomber here at the Canadian Warplane Museum. Also our churches have a few missionaries in PNG. One of our friends living nearby now was a pilot in PNG for MAF
My cousin owns a plane and he took us up in it ( it’s a little Cessna 172 Skyhawk) it was really fun
Terrific training videos for any pilot. Very organized and safety-conscious planning and flight
Only recently found your channel and it's fantastic to watch during our Covid lockdown. Totally impressed with the whole shebang. Your presentation is faultless and I've now sub'd. Greetings from Dudley, UK and fly safe
Absolutely awesome and thanks for taking us along your flight Ryan !
