  • You keep your cool even when it’s obvious that you’re right on the edge. You never just “go for it” and go around even if the tailwind increases 1mph over limit. Definitely what has kept you safe and alive. You must love what you do because there’s a lot of mainline carriers out there that would be lucky to have you. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

    As a former US Navy fighter pilot, Blue Angel demonstration pilot, and United Airlines Check Captain, I have to break my normal routine of never commenting on YouTube videos. That was an OUTSTANDING job of professionalism in every way shape and form! You knew your parameters, held to them, and did an superlative job in carrying out the mission. I would be proud to fly with you any time!
  • @jeffmoultrie
    Hi Ryan. I am an ex NASA pilot and now instructor pilot for a major airline, and your life is much more exciting than mine. My hats off to you. Keep it up. God Speed young man !!
  • I was flying in and around that area of the N.G. highlands nearly 70 years ago. In those days before satellites, that area was a blank on our charts, and we flew using our local knowledge of the area, which depending on the height you were flying would make your surroundings look different, and I think for us getting there and back in the changing weather, was the hardest part. And so for me, the eye-opener of this video was seeing the navigation display with your position constantly displayed.
  • @Richard_DS
    That is intense, especially just before touchdown, when it becomes obvious how fast you are moving.
    Thanks for the ride.
  • @BGee-no3uv
    My flight instructor used to say, "Never try to save a bad landing, just go around until it looks right." This pilot is a smart one -- Happy Landings!
  • So I grew up in the village of Aibai for about 15 years. My dad planned and had the airstrip built. Trying to get to Goroka by car takes 6-9 hours one-way, and you run the risks of landslides and highway robbers. The flight is only about 15 minutes like the gentleman in the video said. The reason the strip is so short is because below the airstrip is a road. My dad considered blasting out the mountain to lengthen it, but so far, that has proved cost prohibitive. Btw, it took about 12 years to build this airstrip (the government bulldozer got stolen, which slowed the project by several years). Excellent job on touching down on this strip!
  • @redheadpilot
    Not even close to the same level of skill needed, but it reminded me of flying into Carmel Valley (near KMRY in California) back in the day when it was open. The terrain really influences what you THINK your altitude is vs the actual numbers. Thanks for this, got MY heart pumping too!
  • Great job commentating under pressure. You really made it appear so easy! You remind me of my Dad. He was an Experimental Test Pilot in the 50's & 60's for Northrop's F-5 & T-38. Very confident & very calm under pressure. A great skill to have as a pilot. Thanks for the amazing ride !!
  • I'm a 1 year you-tube pilot with hundreds of hours of watched aviation videos under my belt and I want to commend you on such a fantastic landing. It got very rough and very wet after landing, usually how I like it, but you kept your composure and handled it like a true professional.
  • Very nice go-around and approach. You displayed sound decisions and 2nd try was fantastic. I was a little amped up myself, and I remember some of my trips, but it is great to see someone fly those very difficult routes. I am a retired pilot and miss flying, but I fly your routes using FSX and the latest scenery. For weather I dial in conditions into AS16 and try to get as much realness as I can. I do get a bit shaky myself. Great trip and I hope to see more.
  • @999Takeoff
    I have the greatest respect for "Bush pilots" who are tested to their limits just about every flight. Same goes for rescue pilots. You folks have amazing skills and every flight hour is pure flying.
  • When I was Army flight school one of my classmates was from Alaska. He was 24. He had been a bush pilot since obtaining his license. It seems like so much fun. He left the Army to go back to Bush flying. He was so far ahead of the entire class. It was nothing for him.
  • Thank you very much for this great experience, it felt as if I was sitting next to you as a student and observing/learning the entire experience! It was very educational and at the same time very enjoyable!👌
  • That was pretty cool job. It’s really good to see that even going through a challenging stressful flight you could show everyone every single detail of the operation such as a good flight instructor would do. Congrat once again. Rooting for you blessed man.
  • @jonb6417
    Of the many aviation lessons I have learned from you, Ryan, possibly one of the most important is that the self-discipline required NOT to attempt a landing if it is unsafe to do so is crucial. To think "I can do it, it will be OK, after all I've come all this way and if I turn back it will all have been for nothing" is so tempting - but is so deadly.
  • Nice video!! I'll never be pilot taught to me by bush pilot in Wawa Ont. in most stressful landing of 1974. Drove MI to Air Service, flew into fishin' camp on Cessna 172 pontoon plane, caught shipload of fish for 5 days, then picked up by Air Service and he brought a Beaver....but pilot alone. Foggy, but screw torpedos etc, and pilot brought me, my buddy, & our stuff out after hauling shipload of stuff in. Just kept getting foggier so when at Wawa pilot radioed Air Service whose owner advised him when clear of last hill. We settled in dense fog looking for lake and insane pilot put me in right seat as on way to lodge I mentioned had passed Ground School & had 4 lessons. All of sudden pilot said I dang near touched windshield while pointing & shouting, "Mountain There"! He shouted full flaps, full rich which I dialed in, while he pulled wheel back, got full throttle, & advised, you fly & let me know when straight up. Pilot trimmed plane etc & I found straight up where Beaver labored most, so said to him, "Straight up Sir"! Pilot grabbed wheel slightly disoriented, so I said sheer cliff face about 20' under pontoons Sir, and he pissed his pants. Beaver most important I'll have you know as struggled up as high as she could go, pilot kicked rudder, & w/last air speed headed for the basement dodging trees until last one got Beaver Trim from prop, when pilot pulled up, up, and away soaring into safety of the dense fog. Pilot reapproached, got new more better clearance, and we landed w/o further incident. Owner of Air Service real apologetic and all, but claimed distracted while Wife removed his other cheek & didn't hear warnings from plane handlers our engine noise stopped as were on other side of hill. Our pilot claimed he was 45 and that was closest call he had, and closest call he had ever heard of too! We were offered free lifetime in-out service whenever we wanted to fish or hunt, but we never went back choosing life instead!! You bush pilots are a breed of your own, my hat's off to ya, but count me out where you can do everything right and easy be wake up D-E-D dead!
  • A slippery and muddy strip. Takes a lot of skill and ability to do what he does with much ease. Well done on this outreach. God bless you and may you prosper in life.
  • @PavelGolodoniuc
    Holly Molly! I'm sometimes worried landing a C172 or a Mooney on a 650 m dirt runway and you are managing to land a turboprop on a 454 m wet runway in the jungle. That's a top notch skill. Outstanding! I'm also impressed with the Kodiak's slow stall and approach speeds.
