4 for 4 OK Jason, we're going to have to take your word on hitting your spot since we were only seeing the panel, but no doubt you did 😊 great series I'm loving it. By the way Marco does also get salt water crocks too. See you tomorrow morning.
4 for 4. Another great video! Thank you for making these. I'm currently a student up in NH for sport pilot, flying RV-12's. My first 'short' field (to me) was a 3,000' runway in Concord NH. KPSM (Pease) is a huge runway over 11,000' x 150 so 3,000 seemed 'short to me 🤣 It was a bumpy day (in an RV-12) and I turned final getting a little tossed around. I looked at my CFI and said "hmmm, I'm a bit high" (The rv's can catch a gust and climb 100-200 feet in a couple seconds). He smiled and said "I know, so what are you going to do?" me: "Go around and set up better ...I wasn't expecting that much lift in that gust" His reply "Good call, a forward slip would be tricky in these conditions with your experience!" (or lack of experience 😉) Around the pattern we went and I set up much better for a good touch-n-go. All of your teaching still applies very well. Obviously the rv-12 is light (and quick) but all the information still applies -Know your aircraft's POH procedures and fly the airplane. Don't panic, fly the airplane.
4 of 4! And that freaking 'gator was right there! Jaws open and not happy that you were in his environment! I'm from Wisconsin and that's something I've NEVER seen!
4 for 4 here! Alligators by the taxiway, there's something we don't see here in WI especially this time of year. I was starting to worry about you there Jason - takeoff is no time to get so distracted! I practice short TOL's a LOT, love doing them as much as I can. My old school CFI would always tell me "no skid marks, but I want some white paint from those runway stripes on the mains." He also told me to get on the brakes and retract those flaps as soon as I touched down.
4 for 4 Another great video! Thank you Jason ‘’ Pitch for Speed and Power for Altitude’’ Your ability to impart complex technical knowledge, making the learning process enjoyable and accessible. Your expertise and teaching style have been invaluable and I appreciate the effort you put into making aviation concepts easy to understand. Thank you for being an outstanding instructor.
The open mouth is part of temperature regulation (probably to warm up this time of year). Somewhat related...when I was first learning to land, on maybe my 3rd or 4th landing attempt ever, while on short final I spotted an F-15 eagle that had taxied up to the runway (KBAF). It was a "SQUIRREL" moment and I was totally distracted. It was a 'teaching moment' for me, while on takeoff or landing a bomb could go off but I need to focus on the task at hand.
Four-for-Four Jason. I’ve watched many flight training videos, but yours is the first to have an alligator in the left seat. Thanks for adding an additional smile 😊to my day! ~ Mark G.
4 for 4. This series could not be timed better. I sit for my private written test next week and (hopefully) have my checkride at the end of the month. The information presented here is so helpful.
4 for 4! We have deer, turkeys, and turtles, but so far no alligators! 😂 I am enjoying watching these videos as a new private pilot. They are helping me stay motivated to go up and keep practicing!
"See ya later alligator!" 4 of 4 today, thanks for sharing S/F takeoff and landings, currently working on these so I'll be looking forward to incorporating some of these pointers as well!
4 for 4. Another great video… alligators, yikes. Always have to be aware of wildlife on the field. We have deer, bears, cougars, and elk at my small field on Vancouver Island. Thanks again Jason! 😊
4/4 - Definitely going to share this with my students as much for the distraction as anything else. Distractions WILL HAPPEN and it doesn't matter how many hours you have. So plan to deal with them.
Four for Four! Got all the previous daily videos in here on one day. Short field takoffs and landings are fun and very useful to practice. Great video!
4 for 4 today..... My wife and I (she's a pilot to!) fly out of a private airport with a 2000' grass and a 200' asphalt runway. These last 2 videos were great refreshers for us. Thanks!
Four for four! I learned to fly off a 2100 foot runway (Langley CYNJ) with displaced thresholds at each end. You learned precise speed control and ILS-accurate approaches from the start.
4 for 4 nice gator! something I need to practice more but did have a situation for a very short field at a residential park and I ended up doing two go arounds before success. I can attest to the pattern setup is of the utmost importance when you really need to use this skill. But that translates to a better landing all of the time.
Funny that a Florida boy would be excited to see an alligator! Ha! When we lived in southern Georgia, we used to have gators on the golf course. While we'd be waiting to tee off, sometimes we'd chip old golf balls at them and try to bounce them off their heads! My old instructor taught me a trick for short field take offs in my cherokee. Start the take off roll like you did, but you got enough airspeed, pop in a couple notches of flaps. The airplane would jump off the ground. 4 for 4 today. I'm caught up!
4/4 - Our Flying Club Senior CFI likes to have everyone land at 2W2 during their club annual checkride (Yes, our club requires an annual ride, the BFR counts for this every other year). 1840x30 so definitely interesting in a 182!
This guy can cheer me up on the worst days. Competence, enthusiasm, authenticity.
Awesome 😎😎😎😎 thanks for the v6
4 of 4 baby!
4 x 4 - another great one!
4 for 4 . I was just at Mky on Monday. Love that airport and area. Cheapest fuel around at $4.09 as of 1/1/24. Shhh keep it a secret!
4 for 4 that Alligator was cool😎 how did you plan that? Lol 😂
4 for 4. Love the gator, but more so your informative videos!
Alligators wow!! Thanks Jason!! 4/4
4 for 4! definitely haven't seen anyone else with an alligator. much more relatable because i'm training here in FL as well!
I like how Marco Island AWOS is nicely enuciated and clearly read out so that we can comprehend it. That was a big aligator, wow. 4 0f 4
4 for 4
OK Jason, we're going to have

See you tomorrow morning.
4 of 4, of Your OUTSTANDING Video Series Sir 👌😇👍OUTSTANDING Short Field OPS 🧐👍👍Nice Gator 🤣👍👍Cheers 🍻🍻

4 for 4, Jason! Look forward to each one. Thank you for this amazing series.
4 of 4... No alligators 😮 in California, but I've had a coyote share the runway with me as I lifted off.
4 of 4! And that freaking 'gator was right there! Jaws open and not happy that you were in his environment! I'm from Wisconsin and that's something I've NEVER seen!
4 4 4 - Always a jewel of insight in each teaching
I used to teach elementary school! Great “squirrel moment”!! Lol!🤣
hahha sometimes we never grow up!
4 for 4. I’m towards the end of my training getting ready for a check ride up here in Canada. 31 day challenge couldn’t have come at a better time

4 for 4. Another Idaho must!! Short field and soft field, always practicing these.
4 for 4. Alligators add a whole new element to an off field landing. 😮. Great video!
4 for 4! ... this put a whole new meaning of "See you later, alligator, in a while, crocodile." Thanks for another great video!
4 for 4! Love that the alligator tried to be a part of the learning process!
Take off next to an alligator. Welcome to Florida!! 4/4
PS: You should try your short field ops in Cedar Key. That's a good challenge.
One of my favorite airports! CDK
4 for 4. Makes it look easy, and yet admits not perfect. I appreciate the "humanness" of less than perfect. Thank you.
4 for 4 Another great video! Thank you Jason ‘’ Pitch for Speed and Power for Altitude’’ Your ability to impart complex technical knowledge, making the learning process enjoyable and accessible. Your expertise and teaching style have been invaluable and I appreciate the effort you put into making aviation concepts easy to understand. Thank you for being an outstanding instructor.
4 for 4. I was laughing on how excited you were about the alligator. That was pretty cool to see.
4 4 4 ✈️ “Pitch for airspeed, power for altitude” exactly the reminder needed today! Safe flying!

We all have those "Squirrel" moments! But at least yours was an airplane not an Alligator hahaha
Four-for-Four Jason. I’ve watched many flight training videos, but yours is the first to have an alligator in the left seat. Thanks for adding an additional smile 😊to my day! ~ Mark G.
Passed my PPL checkride today!! Thank you Jason and mzeroa for everything!! You have played a huge roll in my aviation journey. Much love to you all:)
4 for 4. This series could not be timed better. I sit for my private written test next week and (hopefully) have my checkride at the end of the month. The information presented here is so helpful.
You're going to do amazing!!!
4 for 4. Alligators...wow! On my first night flight I had to abort during my takeoff roll because a deer ran out in front off me!
4 for 4. Another great one. Thanks Jason
4 for 4! Keep up the great work Jason!
4 for 4. I love the gator departure from Marco.
4 for 4!! Thank you for the amazing videos. They helped me pass my private pilot checkride yesterday!!
Congratulations!

I see what you did there!
#4 Short field landing ,hardest to master…good job!
4-4 great job keeping your focus on the short field landing with an alligator watching you
4 for 4! Love the way and positive style Jason teaches! Great video!👍🏼
4 for 4!! See ya later alligator😂
Well played
4 for 4 in a while crocodile
4 for 4! We have deer, turkeys, and turtles, but so far no alligators! 😂 I am enjoying watching these videos as a new private pilot. They are helping me stay motivated to go up and keep practicing!
“A good landing begins with flying a perfect pattern.”
This quote helped me a lot during my training… and still does today!
4/4 👍🏻🐊
Caught up now; 4 for 4. I did once hurt my back on a “drop-in” short field landing. And alligators, wow! Once more, excellent content.
4 for 4, thanks for all refreshing videos always worth to see and reflect.
"See ya later alligator!" 4 of 4 today, thanks for sharing S/F takeoff and landings, currently working on these so I'll be looking forward to incorporating some of these pointers as well!

4 for 4....THANK YOU JASON!
It’s been a cool minute since I’ve been able to watch a MzeroA video but every time I come back Jason is bringing the goods!
4for 4 , great job Jason. That gator has a great view for takeoffs and landings there !
4/4! Love this video, definitely one to look back on. I love how you explained that it’s also about clearing the obstacle and not just the aim point.
4 for 4! I'm not afraid to admit I've bounced it a couple times lol. Every time I go around the pattern I get a little bit better!
4 for 4. I'm enjoying these videos! Thank you.
4/4 These videos are teaching me something new with each and every one of them and I have been flying for 51 years. Thnaks Jason!!
4 for 4. Another great video… alligators, yikes. Always have to be aware of wildlife on the field. We have deer, bears, cougars, and elk at my small field on Vancouver Island. Thanks again Jason! 😊
4/4 - Definitely going to share this with my students as much for the distraction as anything else. Distractions WILL HAPPEN and it doesn't matter how many hours you have. So plan to deal with them.
4 for 4. Definitely going to practice this.

4 for 4! I was out working on short field take offs and landings today!!
4 for 4! I had to avoid a frog while taxiing once 😂
Four for Four! Got all the previous daily videos in here on one day. Short field takoffs and landings are fun and very useful to practice. Great video!
4 for 4. Short field landings are also REALLY fun on grass, gravel and dirt.
4/4/4 Great on!! This was where my training came to a stop. Short field landings-You make it look SO easy. I'm going back to finish my PPl for sure.
4 for 4… Great stuff…
4 - 4 Keep em coming, Jason!
4/4. ✈️ Alligator is great but I amused myself every time you said Marco….with “Polo!”
Both little kids at heart
4 for 4! Thanks Jason!
4 from 4… keep it going mate!
4 for 4 :) love these videos!
4 for 4! Perfect short field landing Sir! Since his mouth was open I am counting the Alligator as clearing an obstacle! 😂
4 for 4. Loving it!
4 for 4! This is important to me as the runway that I will be using is short!
4 for 4. Love these.
4 for 4 can't wait for more!!
4 for 4 today..... My wife and I (she's a pilot to!) fly out of a private airport with a 2000' grass and a 200' asphalt runway. These last 2 videos were great refreshers for us. Thanks!
4 4 4, ready 4 more!
4/4 Having my student follow along also!
Four for four! I learned to fly off a 2100 foot runway (Langley CYNJ) with displaced thresholds at each end. You learned precise speed control and ILS-accurate approaches from the start.
4 for 4, thanks again for these videos
4 out of 4. Saint Barth is one of my goals for short field.
4 for 4 nice gator! something I need to practice more but did have a situation for a very short field at a residential park and I ended up doing two go arounds before success.

That alligator sighting is PIREP material....lol
