I've flown as a commercial air passenger in PNG for many years. I don't recall any instances of PX pilots inventing their own thing, and I never felt uncomfortable flying with them. However, Airlink and APNG, time and time again I remember transitioning through the bottom of the gloop into the tops of the coconut palms when I knew full-well the MDA was much higher than tree top level. I complained about it. Nothing was ever done about it. Then Kokoda happened. Problem of their own making.
