Thanks for the perspective on the density of air traffic in PNG versus many other places in the world. (30 airplanes in ~170,000 sq-mile. = 0.17 aircraft per 1000 sq-miles) In the U.S. ATC is handling ~5,400 aircraft at once. (5,400/3,800,000 = 1.4 aircraft per 1000 sq miles).

@stevekirk8546 16 дней назад

@@MissionaryBushPilot Surely he wasn't trying to take off from the mid runway taxiway exit.... that surely would be impossible.

@craigpitts2209 15 дней назад

There are legitimate performance reasons to do that and if it’s in the tailored runway performance charts then no problems……

@JM87Fly 11 дней назад

Jets plan takeoff performance assuming failure of the critical (usually upwind) engine at V1, followed by single-engine climb to acceleration altitude and beyond. Glancing at the terrain in the area, it’s possible that the tailwind takeoff overwater allowed for a reduced takeoff thrust whilst still achieving/exceeding required single-engine takeoff climb gradient requirements. In lighties with slim performance margins there is rarely a scenario where taking a strong tailwind for takeoff is reasonable, but it’s much more common in jets which have guaranteed climb performance and generous performance margins. Legal and safe, if backed up by the appropriate performance tool/calculations.

@GBelly-tf9sq 5 дней назад

Beautiful valleys. I flight sim stuff like that in Nepal, France, and Columbia a lot. I’m not on Patreon, but it was easy enough to fly a similar route by following the Wunung River up to where it ends at about 5500’ and then cutting over to the West a few miles and riding the Bairaman River back down. Pretty exhilarating ride. As you mentioned, that last turn left in Wunung left me pretty short, I had to add a notch of flaps and got down to 65 knots right at the top coming onto that plateau.

@stevekirk8546 16 дней назад

You are the "Cloud Master" Ryan! I've followed your channel for years and know the work you have put into understanding the landscape and weather in PNG and that you are a very safe pilot as a result. Even so, I felt nervous as you worked your way down into the Bairaman River valley as it's very intimidating place even though I knew your techniques would keep you safe. Prior knowledge of the terrain, judging if the holes in the clouds are big enough to descend through, keeping to the side of the valley to leave room to turn back, speed control and use of flaps for reaction time - over the years they've stuck with me and flight simming in PNG has bcome a challenging pleasure. Thanks Ryan.

@charleswesley9907 15 дней назад

My concern is those mountains and the turbulence they can create could slam you downward . You can always climb blind through the clouds unless in a severe down draft. I have had a down draft / clear air micro burst that almost forced me into the water at St. Augustine for 2 minutes right after take off . I can only imagine the down drafts and clear air rotors in the mountains.

@stevekirk8546 13 дней назад

Down drafts are something Ryan talks alot about when crossing high ridges and his analysis of each situation he is fascinating. Due to PNG's geographical location and the time of day he usually flies, strong winds and turbulence are not often a problem but he always factors them in. I struggle to comprehend how Ryan seems to be be able to compute / remember where up and down dafts are to be found just about anywhere in PNG!

@craigpitts2209 15 дней назад

I flashed back to your KitFox videos in that valley. Must get a lot of rain to get those waterfalls. Impressive knowledge of the weather, local goegraphy and conditions to get into the valley. With only the limited view it would be easy for me to make a wrong decision. I wonder if that chart error is known to the makers ? I presume theres a process o notify them ? I think errata are published for nautical charts that are expected to be manually applied.

@stevekirk8546 13 дней назад

They are historical charts and the errors will never be updated. Sadly countries like PNG seem to lack accurate maps - those Ryan uses are quite good around the coast for VFR but as I've found in my PNG flight simmulation exploration they do lack definition in the high ground areas with sparse contour details although they do seem to identify the rivers and mountains quite well. Living in the UK where the Ordenance Survey produce superb maps I still struggle to understand that even now many countries in the world don't have good, accurate maps.

Other than wanting to fly down into the valley, I cannot understand why you didn’t remain at 7000’ until over the water on the other side of the island and descend down to VMC. That way, there is no concern for hitting the terrain or getting boxed into the valley with weather.

@stevekirk8546 13 дней назад

That was the reason - Ryan wanted to fly down the valley as it is spectacular - but only if it was safe to do so. As Ryan explained elsewhere on this thread unless you have the experience, what he does looks risky and dangerous but in truth, despite the fact he seems quite relaxed it is very calculated and controlled flying.

If you are refering to the references to harness on the the Buddy Checkbox it's to ensure the harness lock is engaged prior to take off or landing. The pilots wear their harness at all times but inflight it is in an unlocked condition which gives them freedom of movement for operating the aircraft. For take off and landing when he calls "Harnesses" you'll notice Ryan sits back in his seat and reaches up to the ceiling and sweeps a small lever across - the lock that keeps the harness tight.

Something I posted earlier might help give you an insight into the thought process. "Prior knowledge of the terrain, judging if the holes in the clouds are big enough to descend through, keeping to the side of the valley to leave room to turn back, speed control and use of flaps for reaction time - over the years they've stuck with me and flight simming in PNG has bcome a challenging pleasure." It takes time to gain the necessary experience safely. Over time and videos Ryan has explained and demonstrated these techniques. They work surprisingly realistically in my flight simmulation as well - two years ago I avoided clouds in the mountains like a plague but now using the above techniques I am much more confident and capable. As Ryan says, just make sure you leave yourself a way to escape any situation you approach.

Ryan sorry for the mistake Flights!!!!!

Wonder if the chart error is due to the altitude being in meters vs feet

The figures don't add up. Sadly it just seem to be poor map making - inadequate survey data and imaginative cartography. The coastal survey seems good (probably based on historical naval data) but the further inland you go the sketchier the survey gets. Some highpoints may be reasonably accurately plotted by distant theodolites but much of what fills in between can be somewhat imaginative. PNG was a very, very difficult country to survey for accurate mapping with tradional methods and there has never been much money. Sattelite mapping is helping and Mapcarta gives a much better (though not perfect) contour map. Hope that helps.

How do you know when the GPWS warnings are spurious, vs when they are real? You have to fly so low and so close to those mountains that the "pull up" would freak me out in that scenario!

They may be spurious sometimes but mostly they are correct I think - which is why Ryan chooses to turn the GPWS off when he is flying close to the ground in mountainous terrain as he has to fly really quite close to the ground but is focused on what he's doing and can do without the distraction of automated messages. In normal flight he does seem to use the GPWS as as basic safety precaution - occasionally thanking "Betty" for her warnings of "minimums" or "pull up!". Makes me smile.
