Me: A recently retired pilot with many thousands of hours of Alaska bush, corporate, and international airline experience. It’s interesting to watch your videos. I like the way that you professionally deal with adverse runway conditions and weather conditions. When I was doing that kind of stuff it was without modern technology like GPS and terrain warning systems. The good guys made it and the bad ones, and their passengers didn’t. You do a very nice job and I hope your career goes in the direction you desire. Your professionalism will carry you far. Cheers, Rog

I chatted with a PNG bush pilot years ago and he related the story of flying into these bush strips, the wind sock would be hanging down but there were crosswinds. The locals worked out that if the weather sock was horizontal and flapping about the aircraft wouldnt land. The locals were chucking a rocks into the windsock to sort that out.

I have watched many aircraft take off and landings where there are a Captain and 1st Officer and often a flight engineer. I know a 380 is bigger but so is the airport and assistance from the tower. Amazing that you flew between mountains to land on an earth strip and you were Captain and crew on your own!! Real World flying!!

@lw216316 4 ай бұрын

Nice landing captain. The camera view was excellent to show your landing technique. I am a remote control airplane instructor. Our 400 foot runway is in a bowl surrounded by ridges, woods and a rivine. There is a wind sock on a pole about 15 - 20 feet up. When I first began flying there I noticed that sometimes the wind at ground level was different and sometimes opposite of the wind sock indication. So I installed a ground level wind sock. Even then sometimes the wind is different at various points on the runway. We now have 4 wind socks along the runway. It is not unusual to take off one direction then land the opposite direction after a 5-10 minute flight. May your skies be blue and your wind calm.

Probably a frequently asked question: with these challenges in the geographical conditions, what’s the main reason for using fixed wing and not helicopters in your operations? I’m guessing it’s operating costs - aircraft prices, fuel, maintenance and such?
