Here is what I think happened and why my clearance was canceled mid way. The active runway was 27, but I had requested to shoot the approach on runway 09 because to set up for the approach on 27 would have required me to go about 25nm in the wrong direction. She gave me clearance really far out, and I think another airplane on the ramp just has started up. When she realized I was so far out, she canceled my clearance with the anticipation that plane would be ready to go for takeoff on runway 27. She later just changed the active runway to runway 09 because the winds were negligible, and runway 09 would set the departing aircraft off in the direction he was heading anyway. It wasn't her fault, she was trying her best to accommodate me landing on the non active runway while trying to accommodate departing traffic as well.

Just wondering what your departure airstrip is- the text says "danget" - I tried backtracking from nadzab but couldn't find anything in the MSFS database nor on Google Earth that even remotely resembles this.

She cancelled the approach clearance, but didn't tell you what to do instead of the approach. Was it obvious from the plates what you were supposed to do? I would have expected her to give you an altitude to remain above so there was room to get the departing traffic underneath you, but maybe that was already on the plates?

Yep sounds like you figured it out.

Vlogging your flights can be a very powerful tool when used properly. It holds you accountable for every single action. If I was still flying, I would do it for every flight, even if I didn't publish a single one.

I love your attitude, you’re a great role model for all pilots with your commitment to the checklist and solid risk management. It’s always better to life to fly another day.

That time lapse was incredible. Very difficult weather to avoid. 😮

Worked in Sandpoint Idaho for a welding supply company, filling in for a sick coworker for a few months. I always loved delivering to Quest Aircraft (now Daher). It was great to see a modern complex aircraft made in a small town. Same town was manufacturing Tamarack Winglets (for Citation Jets) and Timbersled track systems to turn motorbikes into a snowbike. The town had significant manufacturing considering it's population was 9,777 in the 2022 census.

All controllers were new at one time! I know I was. I remember fumbling over my words and not knowing what to say or when to say it! CDW/TEB/DCA/PCT

I love how bush pilots refer to a backyard plot of grass as a "runway"!

Thanks for the great video. My father was stationed in Nadzab during WW2. He was in the Royal Australian Air Force setting up radar installations. I believe Nadzab was an acronym for Northern Australian Defence Zone Air Base

A fascinating watch. I was ATC in PNG in the 70's and 80's (Hagen, Madang, Lae) and often spent my days off hitching a ride with the Talair boys and visiting some of the more remote strips around PNG. It is amazing to see how technology has simplified the single pilot operation, reduced the workload and increased the safety. Also not surprised that the weather can still be a bitch. Also pleasing to see that the standard of control appears to have been maintained. I was heavily involved in the training of the first Nationals to train as controllers in the late 70's.

The time lapse was just fantastic and you did a great job turning around. It's not worth the risk and tomorrow is always a new day to try again.

You're the master of IFR/VFR, and crazy PNG weather too!

You've gotta have the most interesting 'office' in the world, Missionary Bush Pilot! I love popping by, watching your videos whenever I can. Godspeed and may God Richly Bless You, Now & Forever, Sir! 🙏

I’m amazed that you can fly and navigate in weather like that. It must take a lot of skill, training and experience to do what you do. Great job!

A superb video Ryan - a wonderful study of how to keep safe when flying anywhere but particulaly in that area of PNG where you fly and "The clouds have rocks in them" - your planning and organization keep you ahead of the aircraft - something any aspiring pilot would do well to take on board. ATC were not having a good day and I admire your patience with them when operating in those conditions - can't be easy. Adding the sub-titles to the timelapse clip was brilliant - a very effective demonstration of how you deal with whatever the conditions throw at you and when to call it a day and go back to base. Didn't realize Nadzab had runway lights as well as VOR - a real luxury in PNG even if the controlled air space can problematic.

You are a true inspiration, thank you for sharing what you do in PNG, it is a blessing to so many.

First time watching one of your videos. It was fun. Started flying professionally in the 60s, so lots of the stuff you face was normal. I'm still amazed on how much this gen of pilots relies on autopilot. Of course, the equipment is so much better and more reliable. Haven't flown since 2015 (lost my medical -- heart attack and at almost 80 I'll not get it back) so it's fun flying along with you. Takes me back to my days flying the mail in Beech 18s in upstate NY and knocking about the Caribbean in DC-3s! Thanks for the ride.

Attention to detail 👍🏼 Very proficient

Instrument flying is magical. You know your avionics. I fly Dynon Skyview and I just scratch the surface of its abilities. Well done sir.

Thank you so much for making these videos!

Ryan, yet another fantastic video. I remain in total awe of your flying, the scenery and your dedication. The amount of inputs you have to handle are almost mind-boggling to a non-pilot. One question, if I may be so ignorant: Whilst not completely random, given the terrain and more congested skies, are you still 'allowed' more leniency in terms of the routes you take compared to say the US, due to terrain, conditions and lack of other aircraft? Totally inspirational and amongst the most entertaining/but totally professional content I watch on KZread, What a pleasure to join you on some of these trips.

@MissionaryBushPilot

Thank you for the videos you are posting. it is great inspiration that is for sure! I have been taking note of some of your recent videos and the airfields you are going in and out of and have been trying them myself in MSFS 2020 in a DC-3. Lots of fun :)

What a brilliant set of instruments and an amazing running commentary at the same time, although must have been a right bussard in the old days, with just eyesight alone. Oh and p.s: Every good controller has to start somewhere, she did good.

Awesome time lapse and music selection …bravo Zulu!

Good decision Ryan. I learned my lesson once so i could live to fly another day. God bless you. Stay safe!

Oooh .... clouds with rocks.

Hey Ryan, I really enjoy your channel. You truly are a skilled pilot. I love the timelapse at the end with the music. My opinion - it would be great if there was a separate channel with just timelapse videos - no overlayed text, just flying and music and then a playlist to play them continuously.

Sir, I am not an aviator but I suspect you are at GOAT status with what you do. I wish I had half of your operational aptitude. I do know you were flying a plane, in the mountains, in the middle of nowhere guided by ESL ATC's with frequent lack of sight of the ground. I also have immense respect for your mission. Not to mention, you are editing a 5 (? at least) camera array which I do have some understanding of. As i said I am not any kind of aviator but this is all fascinating to me. I will find a way one your website to contribute. Stay safe my friend.

You are such an awesome pilot! They are lucky to have you!

Excellent Auto Pilot approach…..you did pretty good on the bottom also…haha

Great flight, challenging weather, and good decisions made after your options were exhausted. Well done.

staying ahead of the flight even before he starts his roll. Awesome!

Great job, well done.

So cool watching the clouds over the mountains

Great video. Superb flying.

You are a bad ass I’d fly with you anytime and your personal brief things to yourself and talking through everything and all of that absolutely OnPoint

The music is beautiful.

Love the mission, and Love the flying! Excellent approach, and enjoyed the non-plussed attitude when the controller temporarily cancelled your approach clearance. Heh The permanent-seeming clouds in PNG remind me of the permanent-seeming clouds in the PNW - however, we have a rock-solid IFR system, unlike there (as you mention). Always a treat watching you bless the people of PNG, as well as those around the world. Thank you, and God bless you and your mission

Nice flying!

I flew for over 40 yrs and you not get me in a single engine IFR over mountains. I liked 3 engines and a 3 man crew....good job
