@@MissionaryBushPilot Why did you not mention that PNG Coffee is lower in acid than most???? (Sampling some Now, Tasty, comparable to Costa Rican Tarrazu....)
I never realised how important balancing weights and weight distribution as described by you, is to the fine art of flying . Maybe it's just with small planes. Papua N.G has one of the most fascinating geographical constellations in the world that I have ever seen. It's never ending. Playing hidey hole with the clouds. You've got to know your terrain. Just imagine flying without those coloured topographic charts on the monitor.
Everytime you start that engine it’s like a beautiful song. Back in my day (1980) my Cessna 182 always sounded like a push lawnmower. Just jealous. Love the channel.
My father (now passed) would have loved this channel. He was Inspector for Airports in PNG for Australian Dept Civil Aviation from end of the 1940's (I think) till 1953. One of his jobs was inspecting old wartime air strips to see if they were still useable - fly around them to look for visible holes, obstacles - if no obvious problems then land for closer inspection. These strips would not have seen any use for close on 10 years. Not sure what was more dangerous - flying in PNG or his tour in Bomber Command as wireless operator on Lancasters - at least there were no rocks in the clouds in Europe. Aircraft were types like the Auster, de Havilland Dragon Rapide... - very primitive compared to what you are flying in these videos, with minimal to no radio navigation aids, no radar, no weathhert forecasting for weather reportinmg from most of PNG and little in the way of controlled airspace. Sadly never got around to talk to him in detail about his exploits in PNG. One story I remember was he (and pilot and 2 other passengers) were inspecting an airstrip flying an Auster - pilot decided he could take off with only one passenger, so Dad and colleague had to walk out to the nearest patrol officer's (kiap) station and endeared themselves to him (in his absence) by raiding his grog cabinet.
All of it I liked it all. I have been to some of the locations you fly to.. Nadzab was not operational when I lived there, although I did go there to look at the DC3's you could even go inside them. We always landed at Lae airport.
I love these videos and look forward to each new one. Thanks Ryan, you have bought some additional joy to a life already joyful, despite being made difficult by motor neurone disease. Today, physically I feel dreadful but mentally and spiritually I am in a good place, painting onions and garlic for a friend's blog. I enjoyed the 60% every time thing, and had noticed the nosewheel enthusiastically ignoring the ground from about 50 knots, so it was nice to have that explained. Love from Rick (Dr Rick Nelms)
Missionery is a real pleasure to watch your videos. You are a great professional, what more dangerous landings only your experience can lead to look easy. 🇨🇷🤝🛩️👌💪💪
It must be tough to fit flying into your schedule. You tubing, book making and other endeavours. Really enjoy all your videos and love the country side you fly in.😊
Hi Ryan, would you consider visiting Moresby ATC - it would be good to meet the people we hear over the airwaves. Thanks for your content, always very entertaining.
Everytime lookin your videos getting anxiety to fly there. But for this I would have be 20 years younger. 😢😊 With my now 60 years it only possible simulated....
Hi Ryan, just recently found your channel. Absolutely amazing! Very professional flying into these very tight airstrips. Really enjoy it. Keep it up and take care.
Hi Ryan. Really enjoyed this video. Love how you explain in detail and show us how you set up your weight and balance. Is there still a chance you would be able to upload your old fuel and payload spreadsheet for us Patreon members to download.? Would be so handy to have when flying your flights in MSFS. Thank you and I look forward to your next video with the new airstrip. Hopefully someone makes it in MSFS too 😊.
I don't know if you read comments, but as a commercial pilot in the U.S. I'm curious about that brief intrusion through the clouds. I don't think you were on an IFR flight plan, if there even is such a thing. With the low amount of traffic, frequent cloud cover and the looser-feeling ATC system in PNG, is it acceptable to poke through the clouds like you did? What aviation regulations do you operate under? Does PNG have any? Just curious, not trying to point a finger.
It does look like a great App and it makes your life much easier. But does it show you the c of g for both LW and ZFW? Because they are important as well.
Id like to hear about the WW2 history ,, eg: battlefield manouvers that occcured or routes the armys hiked etc -- point out the places as you fly and tell the story -- that would be very interesting
I'm horrified (and rather surprised) that the G1000 cannot be switched to work in SI units, as used in almost the entire world. It seems peculiar that a system would even achieve certification without that basic functionality, particularly as it would be so trivial to include in the software that even a 1st-year computer studies high school student could manage it, and is such a basic function in flight management that it is even marked on my completely manual E6-B. It should be possible to switch between litres, gallons, and undersized US gallons, feet and metres, lbs and kgs and inches of Hg and HPa as configuration options, and in the case of ft m, that should be separate for altitude and other measurements. I know that you cope fine with the conversions, but it is dangerous to assume that everyone will - witness the Gimli Glider, among other incidents.
Just curious if you know anything about these little strips came to be? Like, who was in charge of surveying the places, who paid for them, who built them, who's responsible for upkeep, when were most built etc?
Hello Ryan, love the channel and your film making talent. Quick question: would you be interested and allowed to meet the ATC staff? You seem to be talking to the same person(s), do they know you (in person) and how much do they about the plane you're flying? Tahnks.
Have you ever flown gliders? You had a lot of things in this video that we learn as a cross country pilot. The fact clouds don’t develop over gaps in mountain ranges, or hills is obvious when your are flying under a cloud street owner a mountain range. I personally use oxygen above 10,000 feet because of the training I received at a Air Force oxygen chamber. My IQ started dropping rapidly above 15,000 feet and if you have a cold or some other minor ailment, it will start happening earlier. You look in very good condition so you most likely have a higher threshold. Just watch out if you ever have a minor cold or other issue. we sometimes land in farmers fields or other non-airport locations when things go bad on a cross-country flight. I’ve seen you’re going to a couple airstrips that I probably wouldn’t even take a high-performance glider! Your checklist switch device is the best I have seen, I could use it in my power plane.
I'd be curious to know how much they get for their coffee. Is it fair trade rates? Maybe $1.80 per pound? Here on the consumer end I'm paying $12 per pound roasted and ground. There's a huge amount of profit that does not go to the farmers. I mean they are living in abject poverty from the looks of it. How much profit does the Mormon Church get out of it I wonder? What do you think?
An excellent video. I really appreciate the way you explain things. I thought only humans made mistakes so, according to this video, you’re…….HUMAN!?!? 😊 Just kidding but I do think you are a pretty awesome human for all you do.😎
Where do we buy this coffee i am sure it is amazing, is there any way to support these great people
I sell it on my site

ryan, as a retired USAF C130 Loadmaster, I really appreciate how you load plan and secure your cargo. Thanks!
So glad your back in this country and making these videos!!! Believe it or not you are helping my mental health.
Thank you for asking the great instrumentation close ups with arrows. Very interesting flying...

I can‘t wait to see you flying the Kodiak to the new airstrip 😎👍🏻✈️🤩
Thanks again Ryan for another flight in this amazing country. :-)

AMAZING! love this channel
Thanks again Ryan, another informative video, never boring!
These videos are such a pleasure to watch. One of the best aviation channels out there.
Love every episodes. First of a kind of aviation vlogs in PNG. Fantastic!
Thank you for all the great movies. I have a lot learned from your movies.
Good morning from Minnesota USA! Great episode!
Gorgeous place thank you for sharing again Ryan with P2-NTE!

What a beautiful place
Such a Professional 😊subscribed 😊
Impressive stuff. Near max weight, short runway, slope, etc.
Love it!
Thanks so much Ryan. Beautiful country. Wonderful people. Great flying. I look forward to the next videos. All the best from Oz
It must be tough to fit flying into your schedule. You tubing, book making and other endeavours. Really enjoy all your videos and love the country side you fly in.😊
I have a lot of business type hobbies. Not much else to do here in PNG
Thanks once again for a really pleasant trip over country that evokes so many good memories …. Nice, go well and stay safe through the gaps
Ryan, loved it all. Trusting all goes well with your book's in-time publication. Sounds like quite a job to get it done so quickly. :)
Hi Ryan, would you consider visiting Moresby ATC - it would be good to meet the people we hear over the airwaves. Thanks for your content, always very entertaining.
Great view of the airstrip, awesome views of the bright white clouds. I'm looking forward to seeing your book that you put together. Thanks Ryan.
Fantastic video Ryan. Stay safe and God bless.
You have to have guts to land on that runway hay que tener agallas para aterrizar en esa pista👏
It would be nice to see your interactions with people when you have landed, from beginning to end. You don't need to do it every time, just once.
EXCELLENT vlog, my friend! Thank you.
How annoying that Nadzab has had such a large chunk of airspace handed over to them but no radar
So awesome
You keep it rel. Thank you. I'll buy some of that coffee.
It's great stuff, link on my website
Everytime lookin your videos getting anxiety to fly there. But for this I would have be 20 years younger. 😢😊

Rocking the beard !! Nice! ...Safe flights! 🌞 ☀️ 🎉 😎 💯🫡🧔♂️
I just like to watch you "problem solve" out loud! Thnx
Thanks so much for the video. I enjoyed the flight and also found it very informative!🙏
Single engine & Constantly using short obscured mountain Runways to fly Beans somewhere......No surprise when You make the NTSB database.......

Yes I will
Very beautiful flight among those large clouds, they might be dangerous but they look fun as hell to fly through
Please come and be a bush pilot here in Alaska 😊
Maybe someday 😊
Wish it would be easier to locate you & follow on a map. Took me long time to find where you were headed.
Hi Ryan, I live in Switzerland and I love watching your flights. I have a question, could we order coffee from you to us over here?
That take off was threading the needle. Am amazed how you know the tolarence of your air craft. High regards.
Quite the take off!
As always, short and clear!
Your switch panel should have an QNH checklist.
youre a beast! best channel out right now. Is this from your current mission or pre recorded from earlier flights. just wondering
thanks! this was recorded a few week ago
Great Vid again Ryan, you look like you,ve been roughing it out in the bush as we aussies say, need to get a lil closer to a razor mate lol Take care

After see all the coments, what can I say... except thanks for sharing. God Bless. Isn't it neat how the hole you needed opened for you. 🤔😊
Yes it was
Love your videos as a fellow pilot. might want to check your sticker pilot side under wing for E looks like its starting to peel off during the video.
Thanks for the tip!
Good job ty so cool!
Nice Yogiism!
Great W and B App. Does it show you the c of g for Landing wt and ZFW?
It does look like a great App and it makes your life much easier. But does it show you the c of g for both LW and ZFW? Because they are important as well.
Why the skinny right runway?
It not like there is a lot of traffic.
Id like to hear about the WW2 history ,, eg: battlefield manouvers that occcured or routes the armys hiked etc -- point out the places as you fly and tell the story -- that would be very interesting
is good coffee

You would think it could switch, but after calling Garmin, it sadly doesn't
You look tired get some rest be careful
Why don’t you use or fly your command bars when hand flying?
Ryan, would it help if your airplane had larger tires to deal with the mud & soft ground?
no, not really. These are 29" already. we can't use the Alaskan bush wheels because they would not support the weight of the Kodiak full up
Just curious if you know anything about these little strips came to be? Like, who was in charge of surveying the places, who paid for them, who built them, who's responsible for upkeep, when were most built etc?
I cover that with my on the ground series on my patreon page
Is the W&B app irregular box shape that the CG location dot is placed on representing the plan view of the wing or a part of the fus?
did you end up trying out the bertom denoiser vst?
I might be wrong but that's the shortest runway I've seen here, definitely zero room for error on takeoff. 😱
yes, it's one of our shorter ones

Yes, I have some videos on my Patreon page where I go meet them
Since you have no radar, does your bird have an AIS transponder, so you/they can see whom is on your path????

I now have customisable face plates for my checklist box, so you can make it exactly how you want for any airplane
If you set a limit to cover elderly smokers, you are likely overcautious for young non-smokers!
how fast does your fuel drain from one tank to the other?
fast! 10 mins if I forget to turn off the up hill valve can mean out of balanced by 150-200 lbs

Great, as usual. Can we obtain/purchase aerodrome charts for PNG strips like the one you took off from (for simulation landings). Cheers.

Hey Ryan, you were above 11 Tsd for a while without oxygen. How long can you do that without feeling it?
over 10k for 30 mins before oxygen
Up to 14k in PNG for 30 mins, gets you across the majority of the main ranges
Maybe turn on the radar Ryan………
My eyes are the planes radar
@@MissionaryBushPilot sure but with buildups around and possibly going IMC I’d be putting the radar on. Nothing to lose.
