Ryan’s First Day of Operational Flying!

Today Ryan is off to the Western Province with training pilot, Mathias for 2 overnights. They will be taking someone from the Rural Airstrip Agency (RAA) to do minor repairs on lawn mowers, deliver fuel for those mowers and encourage the locals who work for them at various bush airstrips which they support.

As a part of this routine operational flying, Mathias will be checking Ryan into some of the airstrips in the North Fly part of Western Province, and conducting Ryan’s Line Check. Once Ryan passes his Line Check he will then be clear to fly solo on the C208 Caravan again. After that he will only need one more day of training on the ground next week then we can go home to Telefomin!
