WORK with the Weather, NEVER Against It

- In this video I demonstrate a Real Time pilots perspective of what flying in Papua is about. I used a more technical approach in making this video, showing how we deal with Wx and other factors. The challenges Papua mountain flying presents demand adaptability from the pilots in order to get the job done well and safely. The level of experience in such terrain has to be high and even so accidents happen all the time. It's not about "Safety First" but rather "Everything done Safely".
This runway is located in the village of Yeretma, located south of Wamena and at the foothills of the Wosak Mountains, West Papua, Indonesia.

Dangerous but magnificent country - so suited to the Porter.
I couldn't agree more Michael!
Love all the caption of switches operation. Also that propeller twirl through the fog during TO
Glad to hear! Thank you!
Amazing video in all respects. You took us right into the process and gave meaning to the idea of working with the weather and not against it. Amazing landing on a very short field. The photography was beautiful and very impressive from an editing point of view. We were right there with you on the take off. Bravo! The way you handled this video was really accomplished and satisfying to watch.
Really appreciate your comment and feedback! Glad I could take you along my flying. Keep well sir!
Keep up the great work. I've been watching both your channel and Missionary Bush Pilot. Is there much difference in performance and capability between the Pilatus Porter and the Kodiak 900? The stats I've seen look pretty similar. Also when you guys talk about being committed it seems there is still an option to apply power and do another go around. Could you explain this a bit more? Thanks. @@APilotsHome
Excellent camerawork, and billiant images of a beautiful country.Thanks for sharing!
Greetings from Germany.
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it
Much appreciated and it was great to see the smiles on the faces of your passengers.
Beautiful as always, stay safe out there so that we can enjoy many more videos.
Spectacular, as always! Thank you and have a wonderful day.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video, really enjoyed it. Good camera work too, glad you kept the sound of the turbo prop in it!
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers
One of your best videos!! Loved every moment, although on edge with anticipation.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊❤️
Just found your channel, glad I did. Thanks for taking me along to Yeretma. Great display of skills, patience and knowledge. Definitely a sub from me. Greetings from Wyoming, USA
Amazing views and even more amazing challenges 😊
You have a lot of excellent videos, this one may be the best one yet! Every part of it was very interesting. Great work!
Wow, thanks you!! More will come. Stay tuned!
Top! I love your vids👍 Greetings from south Germany !
Glad you like them! Greetings from Papua!
It was a very nice insight to see your different phases and decision making. I must say, your flows are in every sense of the word flowing.
It is beautiful to see you working as one with the aircraft. It is inspiring to see how flowing it is.
I'm always taken aback by how stunning your footage is. It feels like watching an alternative world of the fjords up here but in evergreen summer.
That first footage flying by the rocky mountain - and that leap into the towering clouds, that magnificent ski jump.
To then see the bright blue skies at the other end.
I don't think I've ever seen more stunning flying.

Another great video! The Pilatus Porter is a bad ass aircraft. Love the propeller vortices on takeoff!!!! Feel lucky you have a fun job and one that you love.
Love the video great editing music camera angles! Fantastic scenery and appreciate the instructional flying basics. The porter seems to be such an awesome aircraft! Of course it’s all about the pilot 😊
I don't have the superlatives to match the skill you demonstrate here (and in every video)! I love the real-time view that you've given us here. It allows us to see the "no, not yet, patience, maybe soon, ok, now" nature of your decision making. I know this must be a lot of work and possible expense for you making these videos. But please, please, please keep these pure videos coming. Greetings from Ecuador.
Hey Michael. Thank you so much for your message. So happy to read your feedback. Indeed I put a lot of work in making these videos and sometimes it takes months so reading comments like yours makes it all worthwhile. More will come. Cheers from Papua!
A little appreciation goes a long way. I can’t wait to see more! @@APilotsHome
Superbes vidéos, un passionné 🎉😊
Respect! Awesome video as always. Thank you also for the activity notes, it is instructive and useful when I try to repeat your flights in MSFS :-)...
Awesome, thank you! My pleasure!
Great flying. Great proficiency. Great landscape. Great editing. Loved it.
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it 🙏
Incredible !!
That is some fancy flying, man. You are one hell of a pilot!
Fabulous stuff
Amazing!! ❤
Espectacular como siempre 😃😃😃👍👍😘👍💯💯💯💯💯
Fantastico ! Melhores videos de sempre aqui. É sempre um momento de puro prazer e paixão ver este canal :)
Muito obrigado querido Carlos! Um forte abraço!
Aduh beautiful Yeretma.... Nice shoot.
Beautiful country, perfect aircraft and very impressive professionalism on display.
Fantastic edit too.
Happy landings👍
Many thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Amazing video... un gran abrazo desde Argentina...!!! Buenos vuelos siempre!!!!

Some of the best aviation videos on TH-cam 🤙
Thank you 🙏
Love your "home".....😊
Really enjoy your videos 🎉
Glad you like them!
I could see the happy smiles of the passengers. /Thanks for sharing that moments
good they dont burn your plane take you hostage
It seems to me like the rear passanger doors weren't closed properly on your way back. :)
Beautiful video, keep them coming up!
Thank you! I don’t remember them not being closed properly 😅 but it happens!
Que arriscado!!! Mas lindo ao mesmo tempo! 😍😍😍
Obrigado mana 🥰
hey, i just found my favourite channel.
I am currently a student pilot, and when i grow i wanna be like you!
My dude, I certainly hope that you have a BRS in your bird. In your videos I see no emergency landing areas in the event of engine trouble. Love the videos!
This was epic!
Glad you liked it!
Pretty cool to see the footcam during landing, looks hectic!
Eu e todos os Viralatas partilhamos o orgulho do teu pai pela tua dedicação à missão e pelo alto nível de profissionalismo da tua operação num terreno e clima exigentes em apoio a comunidades que doutro modo estariam isoladas. Keep up the good work.
Obrigado a todos os Viralatas pelo reconhecimento do meu trabalho! É um orgulho meu ser um Viralatinha. Um grande abraço a todos!
Caramba maninho tas-lhe a dar!!!!! Loved it ❤❤❤❤
Obrigado mana fofinha!
That's like shooting the approach through a tunnel, no second chances. All you guys who fly in that part of the world absolutely amaze me. I flew helicopters there a long time ago, but in that terrain helicopters are so much easier than what you do. Very impressive.
Beautiful landing
Such a beautiful country. Do you fly into Wamena Airport as your home base? Or some smaller strip? Love your videos
Watched from Old Harbour Jamaica.
Terima kasih capt , telah melayani penduduk di papua ..selalu sehat dan safe flight …maaantaaab !!!!
Terima kasih sekali Om!
Pilatus Porter can operate in and out of any location depending where and how the weather conditions change to seeing the field
Cool vid mate, awsome country,👍👍love watching your vids, they are well put together. do those rock tops at the start get snow at all? or just too warm for that?
Hey mate! Thanks so much for your kind message! The rocks do get snow from time to time. I believe they used to be covered with snow more often. Cheers and keep well!
@@APilotsHome Thanks,, yea looked like it got a bit of snow, love your vids, keep them coming😁
@@APilotsHome Where did your dad fly the 500?
In Europe in firefighting some 25years ago. Mainly Portugal. Long time
@@APilotsHome Good stuff, your dad gave you the flying bug? lol.
Great editing, as all others have commented you feel in the flight, and the control text cues are great help for us non pilots.
Lefties rule!
Maravilhoso.
Super beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
terimakasih banyak capten telah melayani rakyat papua...anda luar biasa.....videonya bagus sekali.....hati hati yaaa....
Terima kasih sekali Om!
A mixture off fun and terror ...
Yup go arounds in that location, is about all you can do. A kiwi pilot I'm subscribed to, has some footage of Lukla approach in the Himalayas, (freight) and because of the location, there's not enough room really to go around. Apparently you have to commit yourself. As a non pilot, your situation looks pretty gnarly. Thanks for sharing mate. Take care and atb from down here in Nz.
Thank you for watching! Indeed, most of the strips out here in Papua you have to create a point in space where you consider yourself Committed for landing. I love your country btw! Cheers mate!
@@APilotsHome I love my country too mate. Apparently the NZ pilot flying into Lukla, was one of the very few, non Nepali pilots trained for Lukla. He's an Ag pilot now down here. Thanks again for the upload.
À real Nice vidéo And flight but why ignition on for landing and take off?
Thanks for vidéo fromage France 🇫🇷
Thank you! Good question. Ignition ON for TO and LD as precaution for any engine flameout. If alternate fuel is required at least I don't have to think about ignition since it's already ON.
crazy...
I used to operate piston-engine crafts... What is "ignition" if the turbine is runnig? Landing lights?
Are you always flying from only Wamena to villages? Is Wamena your base?
LUAR BIASA GOODJOB CAPT. 🥶👏👏👍
SALAM DARI KALIMANTAN TIMUR 🤝
LOVE PAPUA WAMENA 🇮🇩🇮🇩🔥
Terima kasih banyak Pak! Salam! 😌🙏
Спасибо огромное за эту красоту ❤❤❤❤ привет из снежной Москвы
Thank you! Greetings from Papua!
Love to be on mission flying the one of the best single engine turbo prop aircraft ever built
That end of the RW looking more dangerous then approach 😮... In overshooting case especially... The reliablest RW: rolling out of it is impossible😊
👍🙏
👍👍👍🙏
Sudah berapa lama anda melayani Papua menerbangkan pesawat disana?
God bless you
door slid open for sure when you took off, that door wasn't closed correctly
How cut off from the rest of the country are these villages you fly into? Do they have electricity and how do they communicate with the rest of the world?
Like number 271.
Let him work let him live she said
tanah papua se subur itu sehijau itu gak ada satu pun yg berkebun nanam sayur padi ladang dan sebagai ny...pnatasan bhan pokok pangan pada mahal karna bhan pangan dari luar daerah harus pe pesawat bwak nya
no need for the stupid Music !! Keep it natural
Will keep it in mind. Thank you!
The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom.
Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)
