      What can also compound difficulties is places marked on the map are not where they are so marked. They can pack up a whole village and move it somewhere else. I've seen that a few times before, landed at X marks the spot on the map to discover the village was moved 10 years ago and is now 5 miles away.

    Oh, that sinking feeling when you realize that you got lost :D I felt for you!
    But it's important to realize this quickly. Especially with poor or intermittent visibility of landmarks, it is not so unusual. Once I picked up the wrong highway, that I expected to lead to our home base. Well, I nearly busted the control zone (CT) of our large international airport instead, I was withing 800 meters of its boundary, converging.... :D
    This happened after a tiring flight, winter afternoon, mist creeping in, high cloud cover, low-angle lighting from the setting sun.... perfect recipe.
    What I learnt from that event: I must verify the direction of the road by compass. The wrong road was like 15-20 degrees to the right to the one I needed, and a quick glance at estimating it's direction would have alerted me that it looks very similar, but it's a different one from what I need. .
    Then I learnt on my commercial training that no matter what, even in great VMC, I turn on all available gadgets (GPS, navaids) and keep them in my scan and situational awareness.
    This served me quite well ever since.

    Some years ago, flying in flat UK with a PPL in my righthand seat, the weather closed in rapidly. I was just below cloud and could see below, rhs could only see cloud. No GPS. He was having a wobbly and asked why we were weaving. I explained we were following the A12 which bends. Also explained that I was turning left and knew what I was doing as I had driven that the previous day. Much better to have someone like Brad in rhs.

      In the 1980s many roads here in central Europe were dirt roads or gravel at the best of times and mud tracks at the worst and flattened by tanks in the time of war and decades after. Just as in the Ukraine now.
      Today our roads are clean, many of them pristine, well maintained and one of the assets of every village. The second is water and irrigation. The third will become solar power in the future.
      Most important is who has the nicest flower arrangements. But local pubs, inns, cafes, petrol stations and grocery stores shut down everywhere. They have become too expensive to maintain. Of course only in the rural areas where i live. Not in the big cities.

You'd probably be aware, the little triangle of Salamaua to South New Britain to Rai Coast get the ASIAN monsoon -- as opposed to the rest of PNG which get the Australian monsoon so lousy conditions in the south often equate to nice conditions in MAMOSE/ NGI.

    • @colonelfustercluck486

      physically it is the Island of New Guinea. Politically, you have West Papua (Formerly Irian Jaya) controlled by the Indonesian Government as a province (Formerly the DUTCH East Indies). To the east, you have Papua New Guinea, about 45 yrs into independence. Formerly a 'territory' of Australia, administered on behalf of the British. So you have the Indonesian and the PNG sides of the country....... seperate and unconnected territories, so don't get it wrong.
      Don't get involved in politics in either territory, or piss off either govt.
      Don't do drugs/money/firearms... anything else that is suspect over there... your life expectancy will reduce....
      Not too sure which Govt. is more corrupt.... so no freelancing...... only go if you know what is currently happening, and that your trip or flight or mission works in well with the current circumstances.
      Don't pretend to be a reporter......reported have a short life expectancy there also....... A city reporter in PNG is sort of OK. Don't go to the provinces of PNG......... but don't do West Papua at all.
      There is a an ongoing civil war / insurrection happening (within West Papua).......... you will be suspected as a combatant if you are a foreigner....... and definately locked up, if they run out of ammo. And maybe released.... sometime maybe. Maybe shot sometime. Just disappeared...likely..... after sometime has passed......whatever is convenient to them. What happens to people in a war zone with cameras or recording equipment, or cell phones..... are they considered as spies??? What happens to spies in West Papua....?? Just be careful. Not sure if you get a tourist visa to that province anyway.......and that is the Indonesian Govt way of protecting you. Don't go there (Western Papua), unless you have documents that you are sure about. The rest of Indonesia is awesome. PNG is awesome to........ neither are like western countries, so be more cautious about what you do over there.....

This video reminded me of the Keystone Kops movies, where they go in every which direction until they run into something. Or better yet, the old Johnny Carson show, when he talked about the Tales of the Fuggawi Indians... they were always getting lost, and would just stop and look at each other, and say; "Where the Fuggawi?" 🤣

    Ryan: That was a little tense for me when you sort of lost situational awareness in that unforgiving terrain. Glad you have TAWS as a safety net, but still. You might consider entering a series of user created waypoints corresponding to your frequently used visual reference points for situations like this. I checked with a Garmin engineer (also my cousin) if user created waypoints would be displayed on the map if they weren’t included in the current active flight plan and she said they would. She also said that there was a selection in the MFD settings to retain those waypoints after power down. Hope this helps.

      The purpose of this exercise was to introduce Brad to finding the way without the G1000. The unexpected low level cloud made it more challenging than expected but the Goroka valley is wide and they were flying at a safe altitude. It certainly demonstrated the difficulties of following roads and rivers. The Finnesterre Range is altogether more challenging in those conditions hence the return to the G1000.

    • @MissionaryBushPilot
      @MissionaryBushPilot  2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      yes, we actually have a few hundred user waypoints. The point of this flight was to no use the GPS, and start using the terrain as reference points so that when weather gets bad, and we are trying to get into Goroka on a MVFR day, we remember specific things about terrain that helps us navigate when the GPS doesn't do much for us because we can't always just fly in a straight line.

    I always liked your video's and the areas you fly in and out of. What amazes me is how and why do these natives congregate in the remote areas.What is out there that makes these folks live there? Amazing. Stay safe. Does Brad ever fly your plane and you just sit back and ride?

      the locals ('natives', correctly and scientifically known as Kanaka's, but considered an insult these days) congregate (make villages / little townships) all over the country. For centuries. Actually about 60,000 years of human habitation in PNG.
      The people in PNG tend to 'hang around' in groups , talking, laughing, playing cards etc....... this is noticable to foreigners. They are a friendly sociably bunch of people, and tend to socialize with friends, neighbors and family. If you are new to the group, they will decide if you are good..... and they will treat you as one of their own. You will be welcomed.
      Food is based on what you can cultivate successfully. In the highlands, all good vegetables from around the world are grown, better than they are, from their home countries. The climate for vegetable growing is superb. It is farming subsistence style and a little cash sales if you are lucky. Coffee and tea is grown. PNG coffee and tea is of high quality and great taste. It is used locally and also exported.
      Roads and airstrips are a foreigner invention in PNG, during the last 60 /70 years or so. The foreigners think that they are remote. Just imagine what foreigners thought in WW2..... the Americans, Aussies, British and Kiwi's who were there in the 1930's and 40's....fighting the Japanese, who owned the airstrips, at that point in time!! But there was nothing if you were shot out of the sky........ some provinces just look the same from the air for hundreds of miles. With various tribes who were on the Japanese side, and some tribes who sided with the Allies... so as you bailed out of your shot down plane.... you just had to hope, and have faith.
      The locals who have lived their entire lives there (and their ancestors before them) think that it is situation normal. It is their backyard, literally. They were born there. On that hill with the village. There will be a physical boundary that they cannot pass, unless they wish to risk mixing with the neighboring tribe..... who may be friendly or an enemy. The physical boundary will be a landmark such as a tree, a stream / river or a ridge. Distances are measured in days walk...... how many of their days walk, not a foreigners days walk.... that takes longer!! The countryside and walking tracks and terrain are often brutal. (Kokoda, Black Cat trails........ and many others)
      Remoteness is not really a large concept there........... but being out of your home tribal area, and being in someone else's area, is considered very risky and dangerous, unless you have a legit. reason and introductions to the other tribal area. The 'landowners' in any given area have the power, pretty much over everything in the area. Make a social 'faux pas' / mistake and the outcome sometimes is not pretty. Just being there can be enough to have problems. Remembering that each area has totally different languages and customs.......so you often cannot explain your way out of a situation. In the remote areas, the lingua franca "tok pisin" (Pidgin) is not spoken or understood. They all have they own "tok ples" (home place/village) language;.......so 800+ languages in PNG. Not dialects or related languages...... it's a little different, from what most people are used to.
      So in answer to you question, the area(s) that the locals congregate in, are their customary tribal areas, handed down for centuries and more, that these people feel reasonably safe in. (Despite territorial fights, also for centuries. But you know when a fight is currently going on, as it is pretty obvious)
      They tend to gather in small villages for communal security against intruders / enemies. Safer having a few houses nearby than living out in the bush with no neighbors. Mutual safety and support. Within hollering range is good, so that you can call for help or give warning.
      If you walk into a tribal area you will feel the eyes following you (even if you can't see them), as you are assessed......people are making their minds up about you and you reasons to be there.....they may make themselves known after a short time......or observe you for a long time to further assess you and your reason to be there. If you are accompanied by someone who they know, or who speaks their language, you will be OK and looked after. Otherwise you will face many questions by curious landowners. Statute Law means nothing in these areas. They will not be able to understand you or talk your language......... time to sing a cheerful song like "LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE" (Monty Python movie: The Life of Brian)
      The law there is traditional customary practice. So it can get a whole lot worse than the movie 'Deliverance' !!!!

    This was a fun video to watch! Different from your normal posts. I never thought you could get lost with al your instruments. I know you love to fly, but flights like this seem like it could be physically and mentally exhausting when you go home at the end of the day.

    • @stevekirk8546
      @stevekirk8546 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That was the point - turn the instruments off and see how easy it is to get lost. Ryan doesn't get lost but has shown that whilst the G1000 is a brilliant tool in PNG it's not the answer to everything. Technically I guess it would be possible to program an autopilot to land at Dinangat. I wouldn't hold my breath - flying so close to the terrain is organic rather than technical.

  • @stevemayfield9476

    Well that was a good one lads. Just shows how easy it can be to rely on the G1000 and how it can go awry very quickly with conditions in PNG, esp when only partial VFR is available like you had. Most enjoyable Ryan.

    • @MissionaryBushPilot
      @MissionaryBushPilot  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      yes, the GPS only goes so far when dealing with weather. That particular day was cloudy, but not bad weather. Throw some thunderstorms and isolated rain showers with clouds, then....the GPS only shows you your destination, but not how to actually get there safely.

    These reminded me of a flight in a 182, lost the signal of the 2 GPS on the plane, flying VFR on top and had to Dead Reckon all the way to dest 😂, the worst part was when i got to pass a Sierra on to a Lake and deciding on my time when to start my descent....it was a nice throwback to my student phase, and this my friends was a lesson learned, to not rely solely on GPS and keep my antique piloting skills up to date haha! Great vid as always Ryan 🤜

  • @frobozz55
    @frobozz55 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    A very interesting video. I wonder, though. It seems like you're only using an assumed ground track to compare with your chart. Can't you also use time and distance? Say, by marking an "X" at the last known location, along with the time you were at that location. If you had a ruler with your distance traveled per minute at an assumed ground speed, then you would be aware of the additional distance you were traveling while still trying to find another known location.
