    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.
  • @Glowbox3D
    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.
  • @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. 🙂
  • @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.
  • Definitely a bit spooky but a very professionally executed approach. Thanks, Ryan.
  • @jmabs5096
    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.
  • @davemaccarter64
    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!
  • That was a text book IFR lesson Ryan. I'm still learning glass cockpit, but have come to really appreciate the G1000 visuals and information. Still...inside the ping pong ball till short final gets the pulse going. Super thankful for this instruction sir.
  • @OhMySack
    Perfect content, Ryan. Though a retired PPL, I'm hitting about 60 hrs in the K100 on sim and am sponging all I can and your 'hands on' with the G1000 is very reinforcing. Just bought your Kodiak tutorial and blowing through that. I wish we had ALL the bells and whistles available on the G1000 but it gets it done.
  • Lump in the throat time for sure on that ILS approach and landing. Nicely done!
  • @bettykuyei9172
    I'm an avid follower. On Saturday, I met your daughter at Jackson's airport last Saturday. Such a sweetheart. During our conversation, she told me her dad is a bush pilot and has a YouTube channel. Immediately I said, hang on, I subscribed to his channel. I showed her and we both laughed, and she was grateful I subscribed.
  • @patriot7083
    Wow! Thank you for the instrument approach to minimums. That was awesome.
  • @Kingfisher83
    Wowee! Nice work playing the conditions and getting in. I just finished IFR ground school and getting into the sim sessions for my rating, so it's nice to see how it plays out in real life.
