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, deep in the mountainous heartland of Papua, solo Captain Matt Dearden finds the strip enveloped in mist making it incredibly tricky to pick a route through the valley. On landing he finds himself caught in the middle of an election dispute that threatens to turn into a mass rock fight. Captain Robin Rudderham is also looking to make the move up and experiences the threats that come with flying the busiest route in Papua - the super highway.
