A good illustration of how much the G1000 gives you as a pilot and the complexities of the radio communications at a large, busy airport. Looks like you were wearing your best international flight uniform! Very interesting video - thank you.
Enjoyed your flight, thanks Ryan, cause I'm learning from every flight you give us here for my simflying. I'm now in RJKB in my transition to PNG from Alaska with the Cessna 206 Stationair and hope to get during next week to Goroka AYGA. Hope the weather will be with me. Still a lot of miles to go 😊
Interesting flight. Almost seemed more intense then some of the mountain approaches and here your runway is some nice wide paved location. My flying was back more with steam guages :-) so I have to say the Garmin screens seem somewhat busy. I wonder if at times it is information overload. I noticed a very empty plane so I figure you are hauling a lot of cargo back.
When I was a controller at DCA if you let a 3 mile hole go by without getting a departure out, the supervisor would pull you off position in a heartbeat! DCA has the busiest runway in the country now with about 900 to 1000 opsa day off of runway 01/19
It appears that you have everything really organised. Navigating to Australia looks more challenging than PNG. Do you carry with you extra water, food, sunscreen, and a hat with you in case you had to ditch the Kodiac? Flying over water looks safer than flying over the rugged terrain in PNG. Thanks, Ryan.
I thought my youtube was glitching. I just watched your video from 10 months ago on the same flight and then immediately after watching it I received a notification of a new video and when I clicked it I thought it was replaying the same old video!
