Landing with NO GO AROUND, Papua, Pilatus PC6
Рет қаралды 2,493,052
Жыл бұрынThis village is located in the Star Mountains of Papua, Indonesia. The runway is beautiful and tucked in a valley, making it impossible to go around. After the last ridge on the right you are pretty much committed to land.
The village is known for the Kulit Masohi (similar to sandal wood) and we fly lots of it out.
This video was recorded over 6 months and it took about 4 months to assemble.

Becoming a pilot in Papua is very difficult due to uncertain natural conditions. If there is a pilot who can fly in Papua then he can fly anywhere in the world. Without any international administrative restrictions, you have the ability to fly without geographical restrictions anywhere on the planet. God bless Mr. Pilot

The Pilatus Porter was the first ever plane I flew on back in 1967 when I was just 7yrs old. Dad worked on the Snowy Mountains Scheme in Australia, and the Pilatus was a major transportation method for the smaller remote Townships of "The Snowy" . Still one of my very favorite planes of all time. I have a model on my desk at work. Your videos are great. Thanks for the memories ....haha

As aviation addicted and Captain on a jetliner I see myself places everywhere in the world and I know snapshots, movies and documentaries about every different way of life expressing the beautiful way how different aviation can be. You have a very own way of filming. You show the highlights and makes us people who watch it being a part of it. Everyone which tried it knows how difficult it is to express a moment you feel on a pic or film. Keep on filming...! I have an idea...what about swapping jobs? :D All the best 🤙🏼

I am 56 and growing up you only ever saw such wonderful things as you have shown once ever year, if lucky, in a documentary with 16mm format. Technology has its upsides as well as down. I hope the spirit of past aviators look after your plucky plane and its engine; I spotted a few trees out there ! :) Finally, the kids loving your drone zipping about made me smile. Maybe one day it might spur at least one to be a pilot and follow in your footsteps.

In 30 years of flying, I have had two engine outs. Both times I had the altitude to reach a runaway but even if I had not made a runway though there were still decent options (fields/clearings/roads) available. Still, I am always looking for a spot to land in an emergency. In all of that incredibly beautiful scenery, I did not see any place to survive an engine out other than the two runways! You gotta love having that turbine huh? :) (EDIT: On a second watch I did notice a riverbed off the end of Pending that could be survivable!)

His parents were missionaries in Irian Jaya (I think that was what is was called when they moved there - they were there from the mid-‘50s until the late 1980’s or early 1990’s). His father grew up in my neighborhood so I saw a lot of pics and items from this area growing up as they would return to the US for visits every 4-5 years.
