    Your message of flying is art. We are fortunate to have you telling your story of these hardy people and your dedication to provide them what they need, a real bond maker is stronger than words. Thank you for your passion.

      Hey Knut! Your words are too kind and touch me deep. I wouldn’t be making this kind of content if I haven’t seen yours first. You’ve been part of my journey and I appreciate your passion for aviation as well. So for that I thank you too!

      @@APilotsHome Thank you, André. That’s inspiring for me to hear that. These past months I have been very busy but I yearn to fly again. I was invited to fly in a Cub for the first time. I hope you still enjoy that moment of focused calm we all seek to find in the sky.
      I wish you all the best.

      @@APilotsHome Kind of you to ask! Colourblindness was always a barrier to becoming a pilot, so i joined the RAF reserve as a mission support specialist; briefing and debriefing aircrews etc. After that I went into academia with radar research and that seems to be the trajectory in life. :) I suppose we all go where life takes us. How did you get into the excellent work you're doing? Was it always your plan? Just to add, I've really enjoyed your videos. The turbo porter has to be up there amongst my favourite aircraft and your photography and production are A1. Anyhoo, have a great new year!

    Condolences to your friends family and friends. In the early years of MAF, there seems to have been the odd accident. So I was told. A few were weather related, but as I learnt later, the odd pilot error did happen. Failure to go round. Wasnt there an unwritten rule "if in doubt, go out.?" I believe this was back in the old PNG days. I'm open to correction. You are working in great environment. If you applied for a position as a Top dressing pilot down here in Nz, I reckon you'd romp in. Good news. All stock are removed from the airstrip. Thank you again for sharing your experiences. Wishing you a HNY2024. Take care mate.

    Swiss mountain pilot here:
    Even if keeping a way out in mountain flying is a most sensible advice, there are times when you don't have any! When approaching the pretty spectacular Courchevel airport in France, when you are midway down the final, you have no option but to land, no turn to the right, no turn to the left, no go-around! If you botched your approach, you are gonna break something... or worse! And that happens practically every year!
    The runway is hard-surfaced and wider than the airstrip shown in this video, but probably shorter (537 m) and certainly much steeper (18.66%), which makes it the steepest runway in the world... so steep that if you have the bad idea to stop before the platform with a light-powered aircraft (a C-172 for example), even full power won't get you moving... you'll have to be towed! It feels like a carrier landing! Snow and ice on the runway in the winter makes it even more fun!
    The History Channel program Most Extreme Airports ranks it as the seventh most extreme airport in the world.
    It is nevertheless used by pretty large airplanes, like Dash-7s or Super King Airs! There is even some occasional airline operations by Alpine Airlines.
    The GREAT thing is that it stands in the middle of the ski slopes. So, once landed, you park your plane, takes the skis out, put them on and ski away... the first run is even free of charge!

      I agree that "Always keep an OUT" is a healthy idea, but there are quite a few landing strips in PNG and probably in West Guinea as well where you are comitted to land from some point of the approach. Same at St. Barts for RWY 28 or at Lukla.

Maybe it's youtube but do You add "hdr" filter or something like that? Sometimes video just looks way to sharp or to have to much contrast. Besides that it's alway a pleasure to watch! It's seems like dream job, away from the "normal" problems.

    I've got some expirience to operate tail-weel plane (An-2, Chmelak Zlin-37a). There is non-pleasure property to attempt do a circle during a landing. Does PC-6 so?

    I was in Papua about 10 years ago and in spite of the "problems", it is some kind of paradise. I will suspect your base is Sentani. Do you know if one can buy a round trip Sentani-Sentani, hopping for the day from one landing strip to the other, or, even better, stopping by at one mission for a day or two before hopping back in the Pilatus? Thank you.
