Thanks!

All of your videos are so interesting, what an amazing country to fly around and help all the remote communities.

Maybe one of the most important things I learned during IFR training (in Southern California, within the LAX Mode C) was to SLOW DOWN! Especially with a new approach, cut that speed early. It is so easy to blast on through fixes and end up way too high to continue a stabilized approach. Good to see I'm not the only one!

Execute a missed approach, why take chances? A few years ago, a Mitsubishi MU-2 was approaching a Canadian airport with 7 souls on board. He was too high and too fast on his approach fixes. Instead of going around, he decided to “S-turn” to lose altitude/speed. By the time he realized his predicament, he accelerated the throttles, but it was too late. Too low and too slow. Needless to say, they didn’t make it. Ironic that the passengers were going to attend a funeral for a deceased family member.

Good morning from Minnesota USA! Great episode!

Always so enjoyable Ryan, thank you. As a Christian artist living with motor neurone disease and a longstanding interest in aviation, your channel brings joy and inspiration. God bless you and your family. Love from Rick [Dr Rick Nelms].

Glad you enjoyed it!

I may be wrong on this, but it looks like you never had a vertical mode associated with the approach armed so there was nothing to intercept and track. Even though Garmin said LNAV+V, the only way your Stec 55X will track vertical guidance from the flight plan is via an LPV approach. Put more simply, your autopilot does not have a VNAV button to take advantage of the fact that you can load VNAV altitude constraints into the Garmin. If you wanted to reverse engineer the vertical nav, you could utilize the VNAV Direct-to softkey (maybe?) but my main point is to look at the altitude constraints with the approach, and find a point you can start descending where you can have a nice whole number for your VS (via the "current VNAV profile" box), dial that descent rate into the autopilot, and enabled VS mode right when you reach the Garmin-calculated TOD. That way you just bug your MDA, and if you refrain from using APR on the S-Tec it would level off at the MDA on its own (because that is your preselected altitude and ALTS would be armed and then activated upon reaching). Obviously if you have the runway in sight you can disconnect AP or roll the altitude bug lower to keep descending.

Hey you finally got a nice day at least!

Great Content

Nice video. For a bit more context on LNAV/VNAV vs LNAV + V: the major difference is LNAV/VNAV affords (guarantees) obstacle clearance, but such clearance is not guaranteed on LNAV + V. Hence, LNAV + V can have obstacles encroaching into the vertical flight path chosen by Garmin because Garmin in not checking for trees and new construction. Best to be on the lookout visually for obstacles on the LNAV + V. This is not be be confused with a visual descent point (VDP) where upon reaching a standard 3 degree descent will get you to the runway with obstacle clearance.

Interesting flight! I learn a lot from you watching these videos. Your skills are impressive and you are always prepared for the unexpected. 🙏

those drone shots are awesome , and overall great editing with lots of camera angles ..good job

Nice work - another fantastic vid.

Yep ... If the passengers DON'T remember the flight it was a good one! When flying in the airlines for years if I walked out of the airport not remember, unless I tried, who I had been flying with ( the F/O or Capt depending where I was in my past career ) it was a good pairing as well. Ryan with you, except for your YT passengers, I am sure your passengers don't remember a lot about the trips in which you carried them ... for a good reason!

God bless you.. what a job and responsibility...

A great vid, particularly liked your approach to passengers and their comfort, ❤ it!

Great video as always! Good to see you stay calm, cool and collected when things don't go exactly as planned. PTL for the work your doing over there.

Yeah, good stuff. Thanks.

working on commercial sel now so the emphasis on control/ comfort with the airplane is in the forefront of my training. watching your comfort, fluidity and confidence in the airplane as if you arent single pilot in the middle of no where has been nothing short of fantastic. best wishes from texas.

Looking forward to the book, I will be ordering one!

Whatever the locals dofor a living, they seem to be very productive at at least one thing.

Random question for you... When it comes to calculating the CG of the aircraft, do you know where in a particular cargo position the CG of THAT cargo is assumed to be? For example, you had some cargo in your forward pod -- where in the pod is the CG of the pod's cargo assumed to be? In the middle (fore/aft) of it? At the forward extreme of the the pod? I can imagine a situation where the cargo shifts/isn't distributed evenly and it puts you out of balance in reality despite being in balance on paper. Or are there tolerances to account for that? I hope that all makes sense, thanks!

after doing thousands of W&B calculations. I can load the plane without even running a W&B calculation if I wanted to and know pretty close where it would fall. We tie everything down really well so nothing shifts our CG out

Always enjoy flying with you Ryan. Not getting as much time in the air here because of building work so I have had to suspend my weekly flying videos but still think of your advice when I do edit. Thanks and best wishes Tim.

Very entertaining. I was an air traffic controller then became a commercial pilot with twin rating. I love every bit of your videos. Stay safe.

When doing my IFR rating in a cirrus with a g1000, I never shot an approach without vertical guidance using +V. I always did the step down method. You obviously have to be on your throttle game more as you level out and then re-start the descent at each fix, however, if you do use +V you still MUST carefully monitor your altitude at each fix and be ready to level off if you find the plane going below the step down altitudes. Either way, you must be ahead of the plane to level off/throttle up as required.

We have to do a taxi call, which basically starts our flight following, then after departure to let them know we are safe off the ground, and after landing

Nice. Would it have been better to input all that approach data before takeoff? Cheers.

I assume the plane is pressurized; is it?

Is ADS-B practiced in that region of the world?

Thanks for the episode. It was good to see the ILS approach. You know, I have done some things that would seem important, like writing for film and television. What I found, however, was me being a good husband and father turned out, in the long run, to be far more important. Books and well-edited episodes are nice, but it is okay if you delay them because you are being a good husband and father, as well as a good pilot. 🙂

Hey Ryan, I think that you might need to bug the FAF altitude and press VNV in order to +V to start working since it’s not a part of the actual published approach. At least it’s working for me every time.

Our crappy S-tec auto pilot doesn't have the VNV option on it. And on the G1000 won't let you select the FAF and turn it cyan like the others,l. In our flight Sim it works perfect

Had the same issue with one of my approaches and the reasoning being that I did not select the APR button on the autopilot panel, and the airplane did not start it decent. The next time when I selected it, I got the GS indication on the pft top right.
