You're pretty amazing man -- think nothing of landing in a cow pasture on the side of a mountain 4 times a day, but then even when you face a stressful IFR with RNAV guidance and ARIS, you make it look so easy. That's the mark of a pro! Thanks for sharing your work with us.

[GlowboxD]

Incredible to be able to watch this kind of content. These are some serious pilot skills. This guy goes to oxygen bars and snorts ginko biloba.

[freedomforever]

Definitely a bit spooky but a very professionally executed approach. Thanks, Ryan.

[Thrust-Set-Simulations]

Cool little waterfall on the right just after takeoff. 🤗

[Bowhuntersgoxzx]

Lump in the throat time for sure on that ILS approach and landing. Nicely done!

[BillySBC]

Man the place you are flying in takes a whole lot of confidence to do, much respect. I would be all over my airplane checking every single system up and down before I decided to fly, you don't want a failure over that terrain.

[davemaccarter]

That was about as good as it gets demonstrating how busy a single pilot IMC approach can be. Very challenging. Lots of views from the front and also of the instruments at the same time. Modern displays and autopilot reduce the workload a bit from hand flying that approach, but hey this isn't 1974. Great job recording and flying!

[Rockingruvin]

Well done! I watched many an ILS approach firsthand as a teen when my father was training for his instrument rating in his Cherokee 180. In the late 80's, we made a landing with instructor one winter foggy night at Charlotte-Douglas Intl. CLT where we estimated the bottom of the fog bank was around 100' AGL. LONG final... heard outer, middle, and inner beacons... on glideslope saw the high-intensity strobe lead in-lights about a minute before breakout. Probably touched down 60-90 seconds after breakout. I looked out the window to a parking lot nearby and the fog was overtaking the really tall lights for the lot. Our instructor said we were probably the last plane allowed in that night. Cemented a lot of the process into my mind.

[stephenhicks]

Crikey, that is really flying - amazing proficiency.

[bernardanderson]

Hey Ryan this flight was professionally done and I enjoyed the experience

[revengejr]

That was probably one of my favorite landings I've seen you do. Usually it's just those bush runways but watching you land a "normal" approach was fun and a nice break. Plus going through the soup. Nice landing. 🙂

[jmabs]

It doesn't get much better then the feeling of a new video from Ryan! Kids/wife are in bed, relaxing on the after long day of work with a cold one for maximum relaxation! Cheers from Eastern Tennessee!

[Mrbuckaroonie..]

I love looking down on certain views and seeing the incredible rivers and waterfalls. Amazing country.

[maddiethomas]

Hi, Mr. Ryan. Thanks for bringing us along.

[patriot]

Wow! Thank you for the instrument approach to minimums. That was awesome.

[kennethperian]

Great job flying thru the white clouds to land, excited I was if flying with ya more excited. Excited we like and flying does it, if you’re flying the plane . Keep up the good work, see ya next time see ya bye.

[johnporter]

Nice approach ! When I learned IFR, it was in a C 172 with no autopilot. Was busier than a one armed paperhanger....

[jeffreybryner]

Amazing ride Ryan. Thank you. I could sense your relief(and exhilaration just a few seconds after 😉)when the Runway Environment came into view just about at mins. Also, excellent job bleeding of that extra energy on the landing. Getting from 90+ vs 60+ on the landing takes a lot of skill (wet runway too).

[vrotait]

Superb flying and decision making getting into Nadzab from 10k. Everything happening in a short distance. Cheers from NZL, David
