My Most Stressful Instrument Approach of 2024

You’re probably the most informative YouTube pilot on YouTube. Thanks for the ride.

“My most stressful landing” bros face the entire time: 😐

I can just hear my instructor, "so, when this bad idea becomes apparent, what is our exit plan?" Great job explaining the thought process. Always fun to watch an IRL demonstration of 💩 hitting the fan.

Great video - Just had one point, I know you had the seatbelt round it but I've heard some bad stories of life rafts being carried in the front seat, if they deploy accidentally for some reason they inflate and ram the yoke into a full nose down, with no hope of recovery. Stay safe!

Whatever you're paid, it's not enough! Safe flying, Ryan.

Professionally done. Challenging, but within safety margins and always with a back-up plan. 👍

Ryan you are such a professional pilot with superb airmanship skills - I'm really envious of all that glass! I was a round dial and paper chart pilot.

I'm not a pilot but am the captain of a sailboat, so I appreciate the navigational skills required for IFR and VFR, especially living here in S.E. Alaska. We have some amazing bush pilots who can drop you into a mountain lake, flying a Cessna 206 on floats! Plus, the Alaska Airlines pilots are simply the best! I like how you talk your approaches out, out loud, as well as your preflight check list. I watch the channel for 'Pilot Debrief' and he has mentioned the need to not only do the preflight check list, but to also say it out loud as the pilot is going thru it prior to flight. Thanks for the good flight and entertaining content...

The mirror in your life vest is called a heliograph and is a fantastic location aid if there is sunshine.

Excellent job Ryan. I was totally there with you during the fight, approach procedure and landing. Bravo!

“I see the runway” 🍜 that’s some dang good eyeballs!

Like videos very informative, I think indigenous Papua New Guinean living in outskirts rural villages in the mountain terrains,valleys,plateaus,surely by now the people you've help knows you personally by name,your service has helped us PNG. God bless you and your family...keep your videos coming. Trupla Pilot ,Thumbs up!

Scary but cool . I'm a VFR 172 amateur and really admire what you do. You would not survive long in your environment without total professionalism on every flight and you demonstrate that in spades. Thanks for the great video.

Wow, Captain! That was amazing. That could not have been comfortable 😬 Well played, Sir! 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great flight. You have excellent skills and great discernment. Glad you made it safely to your destination. 🙏

Thank you for recording this adventure. It really was a great example of keeping your head when things don't go the way you want. Your planning made the dynamic situations manageable, and your readiness to call a miss kept you in control to give your planning a chance to play out. Great video!

I'm from PNG and very much appreciate your service there. God bless you and your family.

I follow your videos on YouTube. I am a pilot. Was a Cadet Pilot with Air Niugini under the scholarship scheme program, however did further the training and hence funded my training in Sydney. Due to funding, I was not able to complete my CPL and MECIR. Funding has been and issue and now I am 35years old with two kids, 6 and 3, but I still have this dream to one day fly the skies of PNG. Your videos are a big motivation for me. Keep the videos coming. Cheers.

The Caravan is one of the most stable planes I've flown in MSFS. Beautiful machine, great views! Stay safe.

That looked easy... sat here in my arm chair! Great video and thumbs up to a real professional.
