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.

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!

My first experience with Porter was in the Ross River & Norman Wells areas in 1977. Fascinating machine then, still is.

Thank you for taking care of my brothers and sisters there ❤

Respect. This airstrip requires a lot of precision.

Thank you! Not many ppl realise that. One needs to land precisely on that first section of the runway, otherwise the plane will float down the runway into the narrow section. Keep well!

Amazing footage. I guess there is some satisfaction in landing at such remote and impossible locations. Do you ever get to stay at these villages and if so are the people hospitable to you?

It's very beautiful and always enthusiastic to watch your videos of planes flying and landing. I like the way you fit the music into the videos; it's superb. However, I have one issue. Please extend the video to focus on the people of the mountains, their lifestyle, their houses, and their culture. Show a bit more elaboration.

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 😂

i wonder if it would be possible to airlift a small bulldozer or even a mid size tractor with ripping blade and box scraper to build these runways ?

@APilotsHome

5 күн бұрын

The only way to get a bulldozer is to fly it in with a chopper. Too expensive for these villages to afford and extremely heavy. You’d need a big helicopter.

the separatist movement there is more worrying than the terrain itself. just last month a NZ pilot was taken hostage.
