Landing in that tiny strip in the middle of the mountains it is absolutely breathtaking. My eternal respect goes to you for the help you bring to these people. You describe things in such a good way that seems they are so easy, but they aren’t at all! high five from one of your Italian subscribers!

  • @stevekirk8546
    @stevekirk8546 Місяць тому +2

    Hats off to you Ryan for the approach to Yawan. You've changed your mind about how to fly the approach and landing with experience and today I really benefited from that. In simulation I've found Yawan intimidating even in clear visibility as the terrain is quite confusing even in good weather conditions. Today I nervously simulated a flight as you did from Nadzeb to Yawan with difficult cloud conditions and found that you have taught me (all of us) a great deal in your videos. My simulator is not the most sophisticated but does really good cloud conditions over PNG and lets me land in a lot of wild places. The key to getting into Yawan turned out to be getting down through broken cloud into the small basin where the Urawe and Not Rivers meet, circling to lose height to get below the overcast then following the north cliff of the Urawe River. It is an organic approach, flying close to the hillside and close to the ground, skimming Worin and descending into the recess of Towet which throws you out to the south where the Yarwan airstrip is with the right descent rate. It worked out extremely well - almost like having an ILS!. I was very pleased with how the flight went as a result of your teachings. The flight back to Goroka was uneventful despite the clouds - as you say the Goroka Valley is so often open when you get there as it was on this trip but the "Cloud Breaker" you devised means it is always possible to land there. Thanks Ryan, your videos are inspiring.

    this is the air strip my late father flew into with a new fridge for a Adelaide steamship mission shop in the 1970s
    He had a contract with the mission shops for refrigeration and the story of flying in from goroka to a little air strip in the new guini highlands was one of my favorites he said he had a native pilot and he was chewing nettle nut ...how times have changed ....cheers mate...

    I'm not a pilot, but watch this type of video every now and then, because it's really interesting. I have someone in my family who is a commercial pilot and he watched a part of this video, when he was over here for a visit. He said, and I quote "To become a bush pilot you have to be either very very good or very very crazy". 😂 He also said, that it looks very chill and relaxed and the video doesn't even close tell how difficult flying in such conditions is, the pilot's skill just make it look so easy. I reckon he was impressed, which, knowing him, is not easy to do. 👍

    Thank you so much Ryan for sharing, in such an amazing professionalism, your work as a PNG pilot but also as a video editor. I can only imagine how much work you put in the making of those videos beside all the complexity of flying in such a challenging terrain and weather. This brings to my time of flying a BH 212 between the Porgera mine and Mt Hagen, two to three times a day, to carry the mine workers in and out for their time off. IFR was not an option, the load on take off from Porgera did not allow for a lot of extra fuel, the weather in Hagen was not always a sure thing and landing options in between were very limited! Watching your videos, I can truly feel the anxiety that a pilot can experience in such conditions. Always working on a plan B,C and more if needed…is a skill that true bush pilots have. You are certainly one of them! Keep on the great job, fly safe, and happy landings. Cheers.
