  • The flight takes place in the mountains East of Wamena. The village is called Salema. The Runway is 210m "short" and very steep at the top. It has a bump in the first third and we aim to land on that transition.

    You're one of the most underrated CZcams channels!
    I can't imagine how much time and energy it took to get that footage of you landing and taking off, leaving the camera with the elder!
    What I great landing as well, really taking leaps and bounds with videography since I started following you, thank you!

    The sad thing is the fact that Pilatus quit building our beloved PC-6, a true delight to fly. Always made me proud to be Swiss, flying a Swiss plane into places no one else would dare. ;)

    So love what you do for the people. I enjoy the happy faces and the anticipation of when they first hear your engine. Do you do flyover to notify your about to land? How do the people know when your arriving ? Did I hear a stall warning just as your touching down?

    • @APilotsHome
      @APilotsHome  Před 2 měsíci

      Thanks for your kind message, Bruce! Yeah, I usually overhead unless I have established radio coms with the village. In that case, and if they know I’m coming I’ll just go straight in to final.
      I guess if there are no radios then the ppl will only know the plane is coming when they hear it 😂
      Yes, we usually land on the stall warning.

    Brilliant and fond memories of flying in these aircraft in PNG in the 1970's whilst serving with the Australian SAS Regiment on training exercises, so compact, so versatile. What a fantastic tool it was. Even recall a Pilatus landing on and taking off from the football oval at the back of our barracks at Swanboursne Western Australia. I did notice though the huge improvements in the avionics from the 1970's !!
