@janegiffould1253 18 дней назад

Some years ago, flying in flat UK with a PPL in my righthand seat, the weather closed in rapidly. I was just below cloud and could see below, rhs could only see cloud. No GPS. He was having a wobbly and asked why we were weaving. I explained we were following the A12 which bends. Also explained that I was turning left and knew what I was doing as I had driven that the previous day. Much better to have someone like Brad in rhs.

@petermerriam1389 2 года назад

Excellent flight. I totally was transported back to PNG in the late 80’s when we didn’t have the equipment you have now. The pilotage was still excellent!!

@rnzoli 2 года назад

Oh, that sinking feeling when you realize that you got lost :D I felt for you! But it's important to realize this quickly. Especially with poor or intermittent visibility of landmarks, it is not so unusual. Once I picked up the wrong highway, that I expected to lead to our home base. Well, I nearly busted the control zone (CT) of our large international airport instead, I was withing 800 meters of its boundary, converging.... :D This happened after a tiring flight, winter afternoon, mist creeping in, high cloud cover, low-angle lighting from the setting sun.... perfect recipe. What I learnt from that event: I must verify the direction of the road by compass. The wrong road was like 15-20 degrees to the right to the one I needed, and a quick glance at estimating it's direction would have alerted me that it looks very similar, but it's a different one from what I need. . Then I learnt on my commercial training that no matter what, even in great VMC, I turn on all available gadgets (GPS, navaids) and keep them in my scan and situational awareness. This served me quite well ever since.

@steveb1739 2 года назад

@@wolfgangpreier9160 Indeed yes! The "Concrete Freeway" around JHB had 4 lanes each way in places. It was always congested at rush hour. Now in places there are 7 lanes each way. Still congested! The freeway and national route system in SA is not bad. Just poorly maintained in some parts. The rural roads have reverted to dirt tracks in many places, again owing to zero maintenance.

@wolfgangpreier9160 2 года назад

@@steveb1739 "The rural roads have reverted to dirt tracks in many places, again owing to zero maintenance" Yes that's what i meant. In the 1980s many roads here in central Europe were dirt roads or gravel at the best of times and mud tracks at the worst and flattened by tanks in the time of war and decades after. Just as in the Ukraine now. Today our roads are clean, many of them pristine, well maintained and one of the assets of every village. The second is water and irrigation. The third will become solar power in the future. Most important is who has the nicest flower arrangements. But local pubs, inns, cafes, petrol stations and grocery stores shut down everywhere. They have become too expensive to maintain. Of course only in the rural areas where i live. Not in the big cities.

@brodricj3023 2 года назад

What can also compound difficulties is places marked on the map are not where they are so marked. They can pack up a whole village and move it somewhere else. I've seen that a few times before, landed at X marks the spot on the map to discover the village was moved 10 years ago and is now 5 miles away.

I would imagine you're familiarised with a few way-points (hydro-electric dam, Mt Helwig, Ramu Sugar). I really enjoyed that quite challenging. You'd probably be aware, the little triangle of Salamaua to South New Britain to Rai Coast get the ASIAN monsoon -- as opposed to the rest of PNG which get the Australian monsoon so lousy conditions in the south often equate to nice conditions in MAMOSE/ NGI.

@fevengr9245 2 года назад

Ryan: That was a little tense for me when you sort of lost situational awareness in that unforgiving terrain. Glad you have TAWS as a safety net, but still. You might consider entering a series of user created waypoints corresponding to your frequently used visual reference points for situations like this. I checked with a Garmin engineer (also my cousin) if user created waypoints would be displayed on the map if they weren’t included in the current active flight plan and she said they would. She also said that there was a selection in the MFD settings to retain those waypoints after power down. Hope this helps.

@stevekirk8546 2 года назад

The purpose of this exercise was to introduce Brad to finding the way without the G1000. The unexpected low level cloud made it more challenging than expected but the Goroka valley is wide and they were flying at a safe altitude. It certainly demonstrated the difficulties of following roads and rivers. The Finnesterre Range is altogether more challenging in those conditions hence the return to the G1000.

@MissionaryBushPilot 2 года назад

yes, we actually have a few hundred user waypoints. The point of this flight was to no use the GPS, and start using the terrain as reference points so that when weather gets bad, and we are trying to get into Goroka on a MVFR day, we remember specific things about terrain that helps us navigate when the GPS doesn't do much for us because we can't always just fly in a straight line.

@stevekirk8546 2 года назад

That was the point - turn the instruments off and see how easy it is to get lost. Ryan doesn't get lost but has shown that whilst the G1000 is a brilliant tool in PNG it's not the answer to everything. Technically I guess it would be possible to program an autopilot to land at Dinangat. I wouldn't hold my breath - flying so close to the terrain is organic rather than technical.
