The WORST Site I’ve EVER Seen for a RUNWAY! (See It For Yourself!)

By watching this video you're embarking on a journey through the jungles of West Papua. The video combines the construction of the runway in Tomosiga village along with the Pilots perspective while flying, taking off, and landing. This village is one of the most REMOTE places a plane can land on in the WORLD. It is located around 80 NM to the East of Nabire and on the Northern side of the first foothills of the mountain range that runs East West along the island of Papua.
I have to thank John Cutts for sharing his great work with the remote communities of West Papua and allowing me to use his footage to make this video possible. I am a witness of his unquestionable passion for his mission at hand.
If you wish to support John Cutts's organization visit his website in the link below:

Full Video: "Moving mountains for God", link bellow 👇
• Moving Mountains- TOMO...
The profits of this video will be shared with Village Heartbeat, hoping to reach out to the most remote areas in the WORLD!

Hey Pedro! Thank you for the message! I couldn't agree with you more! I followed you on LinkedIn. Would love to connect with you! Keep well and cheers!

The Pilatus Porter ! One of the best airplaines ever built ! I live just a few miles away from the Pilatus factory in Stans/Switzerland. What a tragedy, after 63 years of production of this epic planes, the last produced Porter crashed in sea at Crete in December 2022. It was on the way to Indonesia... Your videos are fantastic ! Greetings from Switzerland.

@APilotsHome Жыл бұрын

Hey! Thanks so much for your comment! I totally agree with you. The best STOL ever built. She's an amazing airplane. You're lucky you live so close to the factory. Yes, I know about the unfortunate event with the last Porter... Very tragic. Cheers from Papua!

Good landing! And cool vids in general! Can I ask a technical question about the Porter? Does it always need to be in a high idle condition when landing? This is what the POH says. I am flying this beauty in the sim and I cannot scrub energy when light with little wind in high idle. If I put it into medium to low idle all is well.

@APilotsHome Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much! Great question. We select low idle only after we touchdown. We want that engine on high idle in case of a go around, for example. Or if rapid acceleration is needed. You don't want to wait long for the engine to spool up in those situations. there's also no medium idle. There's only high or low idle. With the function of beta one should be able to bleed off that extra speed no probs. My guess it's a SIM defect 😂
