Ever heard of a Marston Mat runway? Also know as PSP (pierced steel planking), this clever interlocking system was devised just before WWII for rapid construction of runways in remote locations. So cool to get to land on one still in use here in Papua 🌴✈️

😱😱 BIG GUST BEFORE TOUCHDOWN ‼️‼️ With no chance of a go-around, this landing required some very quick reactions to save us from a crash 💥

🧈 When you butter the landing 👌🏻 Bush flying is all about getting the job done but if you can grease the landing too 👨🏻‍🍳😘

⛔️Dropping into the point of no return⚠️ Many airstrips in Papua are like this where you fly into a small bowl, surrounded by terrain the aircraft cannot out climb. From here on in, you MUST land. A go-around will only result into a crash into terrain 💥

Did you know the Pilatus Porter is the only aircraft in the world certified to use beta propeller pitch in the air? #FlyingFromShangriLa

Take-off, immediate break right 🚀 Sometimes we have to turn away from rising terrain if the airstrip is positioned towards such as Lenduma here.

⚠️Fully committed approach‼️ It’s common in mountain flying to have to commit to a landing much further away from the airstrip than in open ground. This is due to the rising terrain surrounding some airstrips that you cannot out climb and so you must make the landing 👊🏻

More right rudder! ➡️ When departing wet, slippery airstrips the Porter can require a lot of right rudder. There’s often a few seconds after adding takeoff power where you need to dab the right brake before the rudder has enough airflow to be effective.

🤠Please ignore the crashed aircraft on the left after landing 🙈 Oh and the other wrecked aircraft at the top of the airstrip 🫣

Wait for the end to see how steep this landing was 😎 Uphill landings are commonplace in Papua and require specialist piloting skills to master. Once you have the hang of it though, they’re easier and safer than landing on the flat, slippery airstrips of the flatlands 🌴
