It's interesting that you say it's fake but even the location of your house even had the missarian's account and the video of you in Sate porn was interesting how the fake is so similar to you in the video even in the same house the idiot recorded it for Sate porn Have watch your home because this fake guy might be collecting money in your name🤮🤮🤮🤮
Regarding doing checks aloud, studies have shown that both hemispheres of the brain are engaged then, memorizing and more thought processes become easier to access. Totally agree about your rules!
I have watched a lot of Ryan's videos and I am no pilot but he strikes me as someone who is very professional who follows checklists and prepares for weather conditions and adapts.
I did some flying. Not pro..but yeah. Ryan has very good sense. The fact that he is still alive...flying in this semi-controlled, very dangerous terrain speaks for itself.
Hey Ryan, just found your channel. I’m not a pilot, I’m a earthmover, I’d love to fly, if lessons I could choose, I’d choose you mate. Cheers from Bundaberg.
I am totally impressed on your flying ability. You are a professional pilot in my opinion. I have been a pilot for 45 years and your flying impresses me. God Bless you and your family.
my grandson, Cameron Hubbard had you as his pilot when he came to do a video for the Oggs who translated the Bible for a tribe in Paupau New Guiniua about one year ago. He said you're the best! I love watching your channel! Bless you, in Christ! Jim Hubbard
A ton of great stuff in this episode but the most touching moment was when the controller called you by name when you were battling the weather. Maybe not the most professional thing but it shows the flying community in PNG is pretty small and tight. It was an unexpected but heartwarming moment. Loved it!
It’s actually a great anecdotal statistic, that number. PNG is the 5th largest island in the world and with hundreds of airstrips. So beneficial of aerial transport. But glad it’s a low number because it’s not for everyone, only the good.
The principles and practices that you use to fly in PNG work just as well here in the states. They help with the decision process. Making good decisions and choices will help to keep you alive.
@MissionaryBushPilot ".. not everybody loves flying.." ( 7:53 ) I'm a super nervous flier. The only thing I enjoy about flying is the landing. Everything else is just miserable for me. I watch your videos largely because they're interesting to watch and it helps with my flight anxiety. So, hearing that you fly for the comfort of others is music to my ears lol
Hi Ryan - reminded me of a flight in a Talair twin Otter from Goroka to Madang late 70's. We got caught in a storm - heavy rain - in heavy cloud most of the way - no navaids those days and we were certainly not at 14000 feet. Water came in through the door! Very happy to arrive in madang that day. Great flying btw.
9:55 You are so right; do checks out loud and you check the plane you are flying, do the checks silently and you are checking the plane that is in your head!
Recite the checklists rather than check things, and when you start your B744's engines and the parking brake isn't set -- because you didn't check, you just recited and assumed the previous flight crew set the parking brake and left it set -- that expensive and beautiful plane rolls forward into the tug.
Very interesting! I know some missionaries in PNG who have mentioned the places you flew from/to. You have probably flown them before, so this video was particularly interesting. Thank you. I do not know how you pilots do it. My son-in-law is an airline captain and I am amazed at all he has to do and know while flying. He is a line check pilot as well. He flies up and down the US East Coast and seems to constantly be dealing with weather. He talks to me a lot, so I am aware of how busy and stressful it can be. Good job, Captain!
I completely agree. I see the exact opposite in student pilots. I think it's the sense that they see their CFI as quick because I'm doing things so methodically and slowly that they see it as fast. In commercial students I see them aggressive on the controls, trying to multi-task in complex airspace and doing too much all at once, spreading themselves thin. Instrument students don't care as much about being perfect/being on the numbers, but I always remind them to correct a small deviation, if it doesn't cost too much attention and to try to be as on the numbers as possible. Great video Ryan!

Somewhat related to not falling behind, use your pre-flight preparations to find a reason to not fly. It sounds drastic, but seriously, if something doesn't feel right, stop right there and find out if it is a problem or isn't. There were many reasons why I decided to stop flying a number of years ago, but one of the most important of them was that I found myself becoming complacent with my pre-flight preparations. That complacency kills.
It''s amazing, that after being taught how to fly and after having flown for six years you discovered a better technique by yourself! Unlike many people who stick to what they once learned.
"Get there itis" can create a lot of problems for sure. It's best to slow down, plan ahead, and do a good job. Really intense IFR flight today. Thank you Ryan!
I am wondering what made Ryan think of using O2 at 12k? My wild guess is that he was hoping to get data on his cell phone (at 12k precisely and little likely?) and with getting zero coverage he realised it made little sense so he thought of 02. I even think he said himself let s get 02 for good thinking…Excellent tutorial and fully agreed with his 5 points to make a better pilot. Thanks!
Boy do I agree with that "arm chair flying" thing. It works. I hadn't flown a plane in years and when I went to get back up to speed with an instructor I flew the entire flight over and over while eyes closed laying in my bed the day before. When I did the actual flight and made a near-perfect landing the instructor said "you haven't flown in How Long??" Truth be told , I flew last night, but just in my head.
I am not a pilot but your item 2 applies to many things other than flying. I almost always try to plan ahead. I used to travel by air a lot as part of my career. Most times, I would fly the expected route on my PC flight simulator so that I knew what to expect; it reduces stress and makes the trip more enjoyable. When I take a trip by car, I usually get a map of the trip and look it over before starting. Thanks for this and all your videos. They are not only entertaining, they are educational as well.
Thank you. excellent. As a transport navigator it was drilled into me to get ahead of the aircraft. Never get behind or just outside 😉Even at low level have a number of plans ready.
I know in comparison that was more work as you say it was, but you make it look so easy and comfortable. Your level of experience is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
She's correct... same goes with ambulances, drive like you're in the back! That philosophy definitely applies with Medevac... you don't want your Med crew T'd off at you😅
I like your number #1. I used to fly float planes in Alaska, and my mission on each flight was to see how many passengers I could put to sleep. #2, #3, and #4...yep definitely. And #5...absolutely!
That flight was a lot of hard work for you and a wonderful demonstration of the skills and techniques that you show us when "Working the Weather"! Curious how when flying south from the Asaloka Gap into the Goroka Valley trending right towards the mountains on the western side of the valley seems to give better visibility. Even more curious I frequently get the same effect in my simmulator program. That flight demonstrates the need to understand the terrain and weather in PNG and especially how they interact - I find it fascinating. I agree with all five of the points you make in the video but must admit number five is the one I have the most trouble with. Videos like these are great learning/training aids to simmers and pilots alike as somehow when you explain things you are actually doing them for real at the same time it makes it easier to take on board I think. Another fine video Ryan - thank you.
I am not a pilot however collectively I have 113,000hrs in flight simulators and everything he mentioned I have learnt and picked up. It's very great advice and I love how he has covered it.
Great video. Love the content. Greetings from central Texas (1T7). I am an aircraft owner (turbo Arrow III) and CFI with over 2800 hours. I love to watch your videos. I always lean something that I can incorporate into my flying.
Clear, incisive and well illustrated by the difficult flight. Thanks Ryan. It is interesting how slowing things down means that you don't get behind the plane, it gives you time to keep up.
I was taught pitch for speed but I never actually noticed an instructor actually doing that. So as soon as I was on my own it was pitch for direction (down the path) and power for speed. We are not flying a Wright Flyer or a Sopwith Pup anymore. However, if ever we are flying a vintage stringbag, we'd better do pitch for airspeed or just spin her in and die.
Pitch for speed and power for altitude.. thats the basic way of doing it while teaching in training aircraft, not the Kodiak. And if you are trimmed for a certain airspeed.. if wanting to descend, just pull power, you descend the same speed as before. No need to retrim when using pitch for altitude. So: it depends.
@GamingWithMaddog64 I stopped flying GA in 2003 because the sky was just too dammed full of aluminium and I still had four kids at home. I never play with electronic toys, that isn't fun for me. I do have about 1,200 hours flying RC, mainly slope soaring and extreme STOL.
An awesome video again! I like that we can see the engine- and navigation instruments and hear the ATC communications. Good to see that you prepare properly for every flight (Aircraft, weather conditions etc.). I think this Kodiak is good as a Pilatus or a Caravan for these missions (STOL abilities, reliable).
Ryan, I am never disappointed in your videos. You are an inspiration in encouraging me to be a better pilot. I am a pleasure pilot but I thank you for your examples and professionalism.
Hi Ryan, I used to fly with my dad when I was younger and he showed me a little technique similar to what you do. On a straight in landing he showed my how by just increasing or decreasing the throttle you can aim the nose towards the threshold of the runway. I learned a lot from him and you
Really good stuff! Flying IFR/IMC without radar service in PNG seems to be totally different than how I learned to fly IFR in the US. I like the fly by numbers concept, but it’s very specific to the plane. So I liken it to really knowing the airplane. I was taught the pitch/power thing too but oddly enough when I starting simming with planes like the Kodiak or TBM, I found I was kind of doing the opposite. Glad to hear I’m not crazy! 😂. Great video!
Fantastic professionalism on display here. It's all in the preparation. "Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win." A doff of the cap to you, sir.
The first 4 points match what an old aerobatic instructor of mine (long time ago - I was his student in the early ninties - he flew spitfires in WW2 when he was 19) - He said if you don’t have a plan B, you’re a passenger. Never fly the aircraft where your mind has not been 10 minutes before. If that turns into 8 minutes Slow Down. Just because you can cruise at 180 does not mean you have to. Nobody will know if you bring it back to 130, but you will have so much more mind space to work with. He also said that every great stick & rudder man flys the airspeed as though the needle was painted onto the gauge. Pretty close to “fly the numbers”.
As an instrument rated pilot in Australia I’m with you on all these points but particularly on both numbers 4 & 5 and they go together. If you fly the numbers for your aircraft you will get reliably consistent results, then for approaches fly the approach path (2D or 3D) and I tweak the power to keep the airspeed where I want it. The higher performance the aircraft the more points 4 & 5 apply, high performance pistons and turboprops should be flown that way always. My 2c worth.
Ryan, I always enjoyed taking passengers up for the first time and no sudden maneuvers was my rule. If you follow #2 then there is no need for #3. Do #4 and every pitch change requires power change and vice versa.... they are independent variables. Great video. Stay safe.
Great hard work flying that plane Ryan and showing and telling. and those five things to be a better plane flyer, that will work for me. See ya next time, keep up the great work see ya bye.
Ryan, another great production. I always wondered about Pitch and Power on approach efficiency. Basing it on equipment and scenario is what makes most sence. I also bought the Check Buddy. Great safety tool.
Great video and list! A habit that might be part of your #2 in (Being ahead of the aircraft) on single engine is to constantly keep track of your location and know where you are at and what is below you so if you have a mechanical failure that you know if there is a strip or road or flat fields to land on and if there is a strip even behind you in glide range. Where will I go and do if the engine fails (right now) !
#6- Dont skip the checklists!! Get them out and run them every time. The Buddy Check is a good reminder but if you are a low time pilot, use the lists!
Agree with them all Ryan and as my instructor advised me if after going through my preflight and check lists it doesn’t feel right scrub the flight and go another day as better to be disappointed then dead ✈️🇦🇺
To me, the most important, and in the beginning, was to learn when to say no to a flight. Always pressure and temptation to "go have a look". I agree with your points tho, even #5, which I fell into instinctively.
Hi Ryan, I am not a pilot but I fly RC planes. What you have raised made a lot of sense. It is probably something I can also use when flying RC planes. As always, safe flying.
I remember waiting for my turn to go do a multi IFR training flight in a Baron. I asked the student that came back how was it? He said he was holding on to the rudder flapping in the slipstream barely able to keep up with the aircraft for thebentire flight. He was constantly behind on the next thing you should do. Catching up is harder than you think. SLOW DOWN. is the best advice any instructor ever gave me. Not just the aircraft, your procedures too. Get them methodical and accurate, dont rush. Funny thing is when youb slow down it somehow gets youvahead of the aircraft and prevents you from falling behind.
IIRC there is a saying about every pilot enjoying a limited number of night landings. I wonder if there is a similar saying about the number of times one is allowed to fly through a storm? In any case, thanks for the video, and stay safe!
Many (very many) years ago I did some glider training. On that quite limited pilot experience I have always considered you should fly (particularly approaches) as if your aircraft suddenly becomes a glider.
Totally agree on the first four. My mom was the exact same way. She was also white knuckle flier. She actually got into a warrior with me. With know how scared she was to fly especially in a small plane. The limo driver was in full effect. You couldn’t even tell we landed. I didn’t even compress the struts. I had to shake the plane a bit on taxi to compress the struts. True story. Pitch and power…..you’re right controversial. Just can’t wrap my head around the other way around. It is a balance kind of the run your head and pat your stomach thing. If I’m on final let’s say and I want to arrest the sink rate you have to add power. If you simply use pitch and pull up sure you’ll stop momentarily but you’ll loose energy start sinking and then airspeed gets slow causing you to add power. It’s a dance. You need both in coordination. If your plane at cruise is trimmed flat and level and you only add power not adjusting the trim. You go up not faster. If you want faster you need to add power and adjust the pitch. Anyway. All the other points you’re spot on. I always say fly by the numbers in every aspect. Performance, weight and balance, fuel minimums, personal health, etc. Keep the blue up Ryan. Love your videos.

yeah, it is a pretty small community here in PNG for the Aviation community. Probably only 25-30 aircraft are flying around at any given time
It’s actually a great anecdotal statistic, that number. PNG is the 5th largest island in the world and with hundreds of airstrips. So beneficial of aerial transport. But glad it’s a low number because it’s not for everyone, only the good.

You're at 12000+ and not using O2. The trend is to start at 9000. Could this be the 6th item on your list?
I am wondering what made Ryan think of using O2 at 12k? My wild guess is that he was hoping to get data on his cell phone (at 12k precisely and little likely?) and with getting zero coverage he realised it made little sense so he thought of 02. I even think he said himself let s get 02 for good thinking…Excellent tutorial and fully agreed with his 5 points to make a better pilot. Thanks!

As a retired USAF pilot who flew C-7 Caribous in Nam doing similar flying, I fully concur with your 5 points. Great job!

Yea when you fly a jet too, you power for airspeed and pitch to maintain your sight picture.
Thank you Ryan for this 5 points. Excellent flight and instruction.
Using your 5 steps from Hoover!, verbatim, nice!
In my last USN tour I flew single seat fighters, A-4 and F-16N...and I always said the T/O and landing checklists out loud, even tho I was by myself.
She's correct... same goes with ambulances, drive like you're in the back! That philosophy definitely applies with Medevac... you don't want your Med crew T'd off at you😅
I like your number #1. I used to fly float planes in Alaska, and my mission on each flight was to see how many passengers I could put to sleep. #2, #3, and #4...yep definitely. And #5...absolutely!
The best way to put them to sleep is to just fly really high... :P
@@SkyborneVisions really tough to do on a 30-minute flight in a de Havilland Beaver on floats.
Amazing pilot, would make a brilliant Airline Pilot
That flight was a lot of hard work for you and a wonderful demonstration of the skills and techniques that you show us when "Working the Weather"!

Interesting video keep it up Ryan! 😃👍
I liked those 5 tips, especially power to control air speed on short finals for mountain airfield landings.
I'd fly with this guy any day! So professional! Greetings from Aus 💚
Thanks! 😃
#5 Work Smarter and not harder is the way I would describe it!!
You forgot #6...using a buddy check 😉👍

Very cool!
Can we get a P2-NTE merch t-shirt? White, red stripes!
👍The best pilot!
Hey Ryan. Great video, Just shows your level of professionalism. Thank you. :-)
Your points are well made and great advice. I think the most important one is, be prepared and always stay ahead of the plane.
And number five leads back to the first one ,,, smooth.
Fly the numbers in the KingAir…. All five are very good rules to live by.
Clear, incisive and well illustrated by the difficult flight. Thanks Ryan. It is interesting how slowing things down means that you don't get behind the plane, it gives you time to keep up.

Sounded good to me as a flight simmer. Your the expert...at least with the Kodiak.
Good Work - Ryan!!!
Wind 17 ktn right after start...But its from the back,so good to save some Fuel.
Excellent video. Thank you.
Agree on all 5 points. I do the same flying a 182K model Cessna. Be safe up there!
Well done! Loved following you on the flight... and would never argue with your tips! 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great hard work flying that plane Ryan and showing and telling. and those five things to be a better plane flyer, that will work for me. See ya next time, keep up the great work see ya bye.
Ryan, another great production. I always wondered about Pitch and Power on approach efficiency. Basing it on equipment and scenario is what makes most sence. I also bought the Check Buddy. Great safety tool.
Just superb....thank you.
Excellent video and tips!
perfect landing!
Great video and list! A habit that might be part of your #2 in (Being ahead of the aircraft) on single engine is to constantly keep track of your location and know where you are at and what is below you so if you have a mechanical failure that you know if there is a strip or road or flat fields to land on and if there is a strip even behind you in glide range. Where will I go and do if the engine fails (right now) !
Great advice embeded in each of your five points, Ryan. Thank you, and God bless.
I a gree with your tips, I use a 3 mile final, to make sure everything is set vorrectly.
#6- Dont skip the checklists!! Get them out and run them every time. The Buddy Check is a good reminder but if you are a low time pilot, use the lists!
Concur on all five items! Good job!
Really busy flight! Awesome video! Thanks for taking my mind off some tough stuff going on right now around me!🙏
Any time!
Always interesting
Great tips. Enjoy flying and God Bless.
man i love to fly your flights on the simulator
Always a great flight!
Agree Ryan, I too was told to fly like a Limo driver…….good advice I wish more Pilots took!
Thanks for your lesson😊
What a pro‼️ You were born for this💯
Great explanation
I really agree with you that was a lot of work
Love all 5 , appreciate your filming and sharing!
#6 Must love to fly -- You can be a pilot and not like flying so if you love to fly, you are more likely to be a better pilot in the end!
Agree with them all Ryan and as my instructor advised me if after going through my preflight and check lists it doesn’t feel right scrub the flight and go another day as better to be disappointed then dead ✈️🇦🇺
Good morning from Breaux Bridge Louisiana
To me, the most important, and in the beginning, was to learn when to say no to a flight. Always pressure and temptation to "go have a look". I agree with your points tho, even #5, which I fell into instinctively.
Hi Ryan, I am not a pilot but I fly RC planes. What you have raised made a lot of sense. It is probably something I can also use when flying RC planes. As always, safe flying.
I remember waiting for my turn to go do a multi IFR training flight in a Baron. I asked the student that came back how was it? He said he was holding on to the rudder flapping in the slipstream barely able to keep up with the aircraft for thebentire flight. He was constantly behind on the next thing you should do. Catching up is harder than you think.
SLOW DOWN. is the best advice any instructor ever gave me. Not just the aircraft, your procedures too. Get them methodical and accurate, dont rush. Funny thing is when youb slow down it somehow gets youvahead of the aircraft and prevents you from falling behind.
Did anyone teach you how to spell though?
Yes, however no one taught me to give a crap when typing in a hurry on my phone.
Owned lol
IIRC there is a saying about every pilot enjoying a limited number of night landings. I wonder if there is a similar saying about the number of times one is allowed to fly through a storm?
In any case, thanks for the video, and stay safe!
Many (very many) years ago I did some glider training. On that quite limited pilot experience I have always considered you should fly (particularly approaches) as if your aircraft suddenly becomes a glider.
Totally agree on the first four. My mom was the exact same way. She was also white knuckle flier. She actually got into a warrior with me. With know how scared she was to fly especially in a small plane. The limo driver was in full effect. You couldn’t even tell we landed. I didn’t even compress the struts. I had to shake the plane a bit on taxi to compress the struts. True story.
Pitch and power…..you’re right controversial. Just can’t wrap my head around the other way around. It is a balance kind of the run your head and pat your stomach thing. If I’m on final let’s say and I want to arrest the sink rate you have to add power. If you simply use pitch and pull up sure you’ll stop momentarily but you’ll loose energy start sinking and then airspeed gets slow causing you to add power. It’s a dance. You need both in coordination. If your plane at cruise is trimmed flat and level and you only add power not adjusting the trim. You go up not faster. If you want faster you need to add power and adjust the pitch. Anyway. All the other points you’re spot on. I always say fly by the numbers in every aspect. Performance, weight and balance, fuel minimums, personal health, etc.
Keep the blue up Ryan. Love your videos.
