Landing with NO GO AROUND, Papua, Pilatus PC6
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 вер 2024
- This village is located in the Star Mountains of Papua, Indonesia. The runway is beautiful and tucked in a valley, making it impossible to go around. After the last ridge on the right you are pretty much committed to land.
The village is known for the Kulit Masohi (similar to sandal wood) and we fly lots of it out.
This video was recorded over 6 months and it took about 4 months to assemble.

As a Brazilian air traffic controller, I can't find a word to describe how beautiful and wonderful was this film. This is amazing! Looks like a dream! You are making history! Some tears dropped from my eyes watching this video and the kids having fun with the drone. God bless you! I'm already a fan of you! You connect this people to the rest of the world! AMAZING!!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Muito obrigado pelo seu comentário. Um forte abraço GTor🙏😁
is there nothing like this in brazil? surely somewhere near the andes would be similar
As an ordinary guy on the ground I feel exactly the same - Marvellous! //
@@10babiscar andes isnt in Brazil. Is near to the chile. Peru...
Thanks brothers, sincerely yours from Indonesia. God bless you 🙏🙏👍
Becoming a pilot in Papua is very difficult due to uncertain natural conditions. If there is a pilot who can fly in Papua then he can fly anywhere in the world. Without any international administrative restrictions, you have the ability to fly without geographical restrictions anywhere on the planet. God bless Mr. Pilot
Thank you so much for your kind comments 🙏🙏
@@APilotsHome the best and be blessed

Nonsense!

As a native Papuan, I thank you very much for serving difficult flights to the Land of Papua. Thank you Mr. Pilot. God bless
Boina Molana tru, bro.....🙂🙂
So very familiar. We worked at Tiom in West Papua 1973-75 and MAF serviced our area. Our daughter was born at Mulia. She is 48 now. My wife is now passed. A trek that took me 2 days, we could cover in a 10 minute flight. So many memories. The Danis were wonderful people.
Hey Ron, thank you for sharing. I'm sorry to hear about your wife. It's amazing how planes have made life so much more easier for these people.
Tuhan Yesus memberkati keluargamu. Terima kasih atas pengorbanannya bagi kami di Papua.
As a 48 y/o new pilot, I am blown away by your experience. The danger and beauty of what you do is inspiring.
As a 65 y/o old pilot that has spent most of his life flying Boeings I too am blown away by it all. 40 years ago I may have been up to this sort of work but not these days. I often wish my career had followed a different path, especially when the alarm goes off at 3am to start of another 4 or 5 day trip.
The Pilatus Porter was the first ever plane I flew on back in 1967 when I was just 7yrs old. Dad worked on the Snowy Mountains Scheme in Australia, and the Pilatus was a major transportation method for the smaller remote Townships of "The Snowy" . Still one of my very favorite planes of all time. I have a model on my desk at work. Your videos are great. Thanks for the memories ....haha
One of the world's great airplanes. In 1967 they flew all over Laos and Vietnam into similar landing strips. I always had great confidence flying in them. Still a winner after 60 years.
@@vinquinn were you a FAC? How do you even these planes were used in Laos?
Does Lima Site-85 strike a note? Or maybe Tacan channel 97?
@@vinquinn awesome. I was too young but my dad would tell me stories about site 85. I recently visited site 85. My uncle worked with Hog, his call sign was Lucky.
@@thoraz997 Just a little info. I was not a FAC. I was a tech rep (Field Engineer). I operated and maintained air navigation, beacons, radios and generators. I spent most of my time at LS-85 but also traveled to other locations. Spent a lot of time flying around in small aircraft.
Terimakasih sudah memberikan kebaikan untuk masyarakat Papua
Papua New Guinei. The first time I learned of this place even existing was in our bible study group. Our teacher and his wife were missionaries there for 25 years. They spoke of the remoteness how it was back in that time. They would hike miles and miles into the interior. The natives during that time were not even aware of another civilization like ourselves. They lived with the people in the jungle during periods of time teaching them Christianity. It was nice see what there world looks like. Thanks for the ride.
Cheers Ronald. Thanks for sharing!
Man, this place is like our Amazon rain forest here in Amazonas but with mountains, it is so beautiful, as much as i can admire our forest here everything looks so nice when a bunch of slopes are added to the biome, it is really an amazing place.
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for your message! Keep well 🙏😁
Wow!! You put a lot of faith in that little PT6 turbine, lucky for you (and us) it has a great reputation for reliability. Thanks for taking us along for the ride, you are living all our dreams.
Made in Canada by P&W.
This is so scary, one failure on take-off, it's over... any issues on landing, it's over (failed engine short of the runway, etc). Thouroughly envigorating however. Thanks for posting and you are a brave soul my friend !!!!!
Спасибо большое за съёмку! Сразу 2 дела делаете: и перевозки, и красоту показываете!
That’s a nice aircraft. Looks very capable.
Wow sungguh2 para pilot pemberani yang bisa landing di kawasan pegunungan Papua yang sangat cantik... salut. Salam dari Bukitiinggi Sumatera Barat.
one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen, about aviation
the Pilatus PC6 is the perfect airplane for Papua Flying Landing and take off. priceless. it is my favorite air plane to fly.
Twin Otters have done that same bussing in PNG for decades. At least they are twins.
This landing is actually one of the landing in MSFS 2020 landing scenarios. Pretty cool to see it live. I have never landed soft field but you made it look easy. There were very happy to see you.
Летчик экстра класса!
Beautiful area and flying! Those mountain strips appeal to me since I fly a small 2-seat STOL in mountain areas in USA. What a wonderful life flying support missions in an amazing area with such a cool airplane.

If I don't learn anything during the day, I check my pulse!
I was a missionary for about 10 years, first in South America and then in Myanmar. I have landed (as a passenger) on sketchy remote bush strips many, many times. This brought back a lot of memories.
Beating god into people who didn't want you there, what a guy.
@@colin-nekritz We rescued 1200+ children from brothels, sweatshops, and trafficking situations and paid from our own funds for their medical care, housing and education. The local government begged our organization to come help. What did you do?
Thanks for putting it on the line to help isolated communities.
Great job of filming it. Dig it! 👍
Deus te abençoe
its dangerous and beautiful at the same time when u flying above the land of papua, the view sooo nice. mad respect for your service mr pilot! take care and be safe!
What a beauty so peaceful Pure Nature condense forest, lungs of the world.
I loved skydiving out of the Pilatus, such a beautiful bird, and that engine, gives me goose bumps every time I hear it. Great video
Same! Did my first jumps from a PC6!
I can't express enough how much I admire and respect the work and commitment of these people.
Wow, incredible flying over the jungle where you can't see what's in there. Fantastic video, great cameras.
Been watching MAF pilots in Papua for 30 years, nearly followed that path but trained on helicopters and then a Techo on fighter jets. It never fails to amaze me what these Pilots in Papua do. The best in the world get their wings here. I love Pilatus too. Rolls Royce bugsmashers those Pilatus.
Thanks for sharing your story and thanks for the message. Keep well Alister!
Terimakasih sudah bersedia bekerja untuk sodara kami di Papua.
Incredibly brave and skilled aviators !
Wundervolle Pilatus Porter..
Toller PILOT.. 👍👍👍😎
Beautiful. Aviation at its best, Aéropostale feeling. And what a landscape, and kids running to see last takeoff... wow! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it, cheers!
That welcoming rooster dance is killer!
The drone footage really adds to this video.Thank you.
Welcome in indonesia🇮🇩
I really like the scenery in Indonesia
this channel needs more subscribers! Beautiful place. I am from a city in America and this looks amazing. Nice camera work and drone shots man
Thank you very much!
I worked with Arial Tours out of Moresby in 1970. I did many of these tight strips in Norman Britton Islanders. Exciting times.
Thanks for bringing back the memories.
What a beautiful country, will I ever get to see this in my life...
Thank you. This is the first time I can see one village of the islands in my country...wonderfull indonesia piss forever..
this is my big dream, to fly in a Pilatus and then in such a beautiful environment like Papua. What beautiful impressions
I was moved watching this video. Thank you very much for sharing your experience. Amazing 🥲
As aviation addicted and Captain on a jetliner I see myself places everywhere in the world and I know snapshots, movies and documentaries about every different way of life expressing the beautiful way how different aviation can be.
You have a very own way of filming. You show the highlights and makes us people who watch it being a part of it. Everyone which tried it knows how difficult it is to express a moment you feel on a pic or film.
Keep on filming...!
I have an idea...what about swapping jobs? :D
All the best 🤙🏼
Thank you so much for your kind message! Made my day for sure! Safe flying!
super tolle Landungen mit dem Pilatus-Porter,war 1965 in der RS in Stans,habe damals die ersten Pilatus-Porter gesehen in Buochs,es hat mich immer erstaunt wie kurz die Start und Landestrecken mit diesem Flugzeug waren-viel Glück und guten Flug 😄🇨🇭👍
Now that's what you call REAL flying. What an experience!
As a one time aspiring pilot, thanks so much for this video! It's not the glamorous 380, but this is true flying.
THIS DUDE HAS AMAZING SKILLS AND THE EDITING MY GODNESS. GOOD JOB AND STAY SAFE PILOT.
Melihat video ini.. Saya jadi teringat dulu naik pesawat seperti ini juga dari Nduga ke Timika tetapi cuacanya dulu beda hujan dan berawan.. Rasanya menegangkan..
Seus vídeos são incríveis e muito bonitos. O pessoal das montanhas devem adorar você hein.
Parabéns pelo trabalho. Fique com Deus.
Increíble imágenes, gran avión, afortunado tú.........jajajja, me ha hecho muy feliz. Gracias
Wonderful 🎥, no doubt about it, this is a place like no other in the 🌎. Take care ! 👌
I love when the kids run away from drone with smile..
What a beautiful journey through your world!! Thank you ❤️😘
Obrigado mãe 🙏😁
To the pilot,
Know this, that you are having a dream job, on a dream plane.
I know the porter from when I was a child when it dropped skydivers at the local airfield 3 km from my home.
As I am starting to think about doing my pilots license I know, flying the pc 6 will probably stay a dream.
So know how blessed you are and that you provide a great service to people living in remote areas.
God bless you and may he protect you always on your flights.
Dear Oifel. Thank you so much for your words. They mean a lot to me. I feel moved by your story. I hope you get to fly a Porter one day. She won't disappoint. Keep well and safe flying.
The Porter is 100% a dream machine for me, I would consider myself as having achieved my dream if I was flying the Porter for someone, the PC-12 is my favourite aircraft of all but I think I'de have more fun flying the Porter for sure.
Me too. Absolutely love this aeroplane! Even the unmistakeable sound of its engine rising in pitch pre-takeoff, stirs something in me.
Love the shelf design of the instrument panel. I’ve never seen that before.
Glad you like it!
stunning scenery........glad we have still these remote areas
That's far nicer than staying in a jet's cockpit for hours doing nothing but looking at the EFIS, MFD, PFD, etc. In those commercial flights all we can do manually is to take off (and press the autopilot button between 1000' and 10000' , as it's mandatory for many air companies around the globe ) and then await till we're authorized to intercept ILS, when we disengage autopilot and land the plane manually when the aircraft is stabilized. Kudos to you, mate! 👍👍
Many thanks for taking these videos, the cinematography and editing equal to your flying skills. I am 56 and growing up you only ever saw such wonderful things as you have shown once ever year, if lucky, in a documentary with 16mm format. Technology has its upsides as well as down.
I hope the spirit of past aviators look after your plucky plane and its engine; I spotted a few trees out there ! :)
Finally, the kids loving your drone zipping about made me smile. Maybe one day it might spur at least one to be a pilot and follow in your footsteps.
Thank you for your beautiful message 🙏😊😊
@@APilotsHome what are those things (plates) aft of each wheel?
Captain Congratulations. You shows us the true esence of service to others and the Best way of flying. Everything in one package.
He is flying above the heaven... ♥️
Brazil stole my words. Like a floating fantasy in a dream world. That plane is fabulatus. Great video. I have had the pleasure of flying in a Pilatus .
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice to see new PC6 video's and drone images from the airfields! Thank you.
Good pilot, beautiful aircraft, best runways!
This is definitely an "I can't make mistakes" area of flying.
pilatus gives bush villages great hope to live ever in the bush when they can import and export goods by this magic slim plane❤
Very true! We also bring doctors, teachers, and spiritual leaders into the communities.
КРУТО! ОТЛИЧНАЯ РАБОТА У ПИЛОТА!
Easily one of the best aviation videos that I have ever seen! Gorgeous scenery, friendly people and pilot with absolute nerves of steel. Bravo to you sir!
Glad you enjoyed it!🙏🙏😁😁
This whole video is just beautifully done. As a long-time pilot myself, I appreciate the skill. But beyond that, this is just gorgeous and peaceful and so well done. Thank you for sharing.
Comforting when the village does a sacred dance for your safe departure.
The most beautiful runway ever!
Count me in! 56 yr old Commercial pilot ready for FO position!!!! Happy to preflights and call outs !!!
Como não ser apaixonado pela aviação? Um dos vídeos mais emocionantes que já....imagino a figura do piloto e do avião diante uma população tão carente e isolada...
Não entendi oque ele transportava?
@@gerson1862 pessoas ou pequenas cargas
The pilot is exceptionally skilled, hats off to him. I think some big trees should be cut off frequently for easy landing as these trees will increase day by day.
Mate your video editing skills and videography is incredible. Truly amazing job you have. Thanks for sharing. I've only flown Black Hawks up in Papua New Guinea. And it was scary at times. And in the highlands we couldn't just come to the hover either. Not enough power with a full load. But definitely props for your work. Much Respect.
One of the best vídeos I think. Amazing places. Amazing takeoff's. Few meter's to cânion. Awesome. Wonderful. You have the best job of the world. Thanks
Невероятное видео. 15 минут прошли очень быстро. Как пилоту не страшно садится на такую маленькую полосу
If you are afraid, you should not be a pilot!
very nicely done. what a beautiful office view.
Thank you very much!
I love how they at 5:01 started to help each other load the crops! Papua is AMAZING!
Congratulation for all dedication. People is very important for best planet...
As a driver for Toyota Prius, I absolutely love this video😂😂. Absolutely flawless editing flawless scenes and up to the point captions . Very rare your see new ideas and refreshing videos on UA-cam . Hope your channel grown brother good luck
Thanks so much for your comment 😁🙏Glad you enjoyed it! I never drove a Toyota Prius. Will remember you if I do get that previlege 👌😁
Thank you for your dedicate to help our brother in Papua...God blesh you
Wow, that is some epic flying man. Mountain top strips. Incredible footage. Good on you living your best life!
My 2 yo son loves the propeller and the music. Might be the next pilot :). Cheers and thanks for sharing this beauty. Love from Prague.
Awesome landing, right in the grooves. And awesome greeting from the locals!
Absolutely Astounding. Thank you. Other pilots talk. You just show how it is done. Love that old Pilatus. What a great way to see the world. Outstanding. Wind at your nose and blue sky upi!!! That end video of the kids by drone was joyous.
That landing gear looks much better than the Kodiak for heavy loads.
Hard to say what's more impressive, the flying or the videography!
In 30 years of flying, I have had two engine outs. Both times I had the altitude to reach a runaway but even if I had not made a runway though there were still decent options (fields/clearings/roads) available. Still, I am always looking for a spot to land in an emergency.
In all of that incredibly beautiful scenery, I did not see any place to survive an engine out other than the two runways! You gotta love having that turbine huh? :)
(EDIT: On a second watch I did notice a riverbed off the end of Pending that could be survivable!)
Those Rivera are full of huge rocks hahaha it's not like a big ol flat river like the ones in the states, most rivers in Papua are windy and dnagerous
Rob Johnson Papua is notorious as a difficult place to fly. As you point out few emergency landing sites but also the mountains, winds and clouds and quickly changeable weather. Some young pilots from Australia and New Zealand head there to get their hours up. It’s not for the faint hearted.
Would adding a jetpack for a soft emergency landing in those final moments before touchdown add too much weight to a small plane?
Its a PT-6 and unlikely to quit, but still I feel your angst. I had a 172 pop a cylinder while I was in the pattern, fortunately I had enough energy, altitude and 3 cylinder time to make the runway.
@@marajevomanash A parachute would be more practical.

Thanks so much Tim, keep well!

Wow, you are living a live that i dreamed for, i hope one day i can make my dream to fly with this kind of aircraft in this particular environment will be come true. Thanks for reminding me how i really love this job.
Wonderful!
Thanks for sharing it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What and amazing vid, gorgeous scenery and- awesome piloting skills skimming the treetops ... little to no room for error that's for sure!
Million thanks for your service to Pedalaman Papua.
To be a pilot like you, needs big ball decision. Many pilot cadet want to go around the World with sophisticated Boeing or Airbus aircraft.
You take your dream into reality and enjoy the rest of it....appreciate and hat off to you.
Fly safe and keep vigilant as Papua mountain terrain keeps changing without notice.
God bless you, Bro.
Very interesting. A friend of mine kind of grew up in the Baliem Valley (he lived there in the summer and on school breaks but was away somewhere else in Indonesia(?) for the school year). His parents were missionaries in Irian Jaya (I think that was what is was called when they moved there - they were there from the mid-‘50s until the late 1980’s or early 1990’s). His father grew up in my neighborhood so I saw a lot of pics and items from this area growing up as they would return to the US for visits every 4-5 years.
I noticed more than one Porter was used in the making of this video. However, it’s a nice video showing the amazing capabilities of the PC6 and the beautiful mountainous region of Papua. BTW…..I have 200 hours in N3608R. It’s a Porter I owned and flew in the SE USA. I sold it. Unfortunately, the new owner’s pilot lost control on landing. The airplane wreckage is in storage now.
So sad to hear about the outcome of your old Porter. I hope she flies again sometime. Thank you for your message! I appreciate the feedback. The Porter is an amazing plane. We have 4 of them and they are workhorses 👍
Bom piloto e uma grande aeronave e Papua linda
what an experience to share, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
