1 for 1! I got an engine failure in 2024 while doing skydiving flights, and was able to bring the plane back to the runway, your videos for sure were part of the reasons why I knew instantly what to do and followed the ABCD 💪🏼 thanks Jason!
One for One. Just to know Jason, I passed the FAA Private Pilot exam with a 97%. Thanks to the MZEROA private pilot ground school. Now on to the MZEROA instrument pilot ground school.
1 for 1. I am embarrassed to admit this, but in my low wing plane requiring tank switching I was flying back from the Grand Rapids, MI along the Chicago skyline. I got so involved enjoying talking with my family that I forgot to switch tanks even with the EFIS reminding me every 30mins (I know that was pretty stupid and all the things I should have done better). Anyway, the engine started running rough; immediately and instinctively, I enabled the electric pump switch and switched tanks. The engine ran smooth again and it was ALMOST like it didn't happen. To be honest I didn't think I had practiced enough emergency procedures that my instinctive reaction would be so immediate. Understandably, my heart was pumping fast and I was just thanking God over and over for keeping us in the air. I have been told "A good pilot is always learning", and I am even more disciplined now with my tank/fuel management. "Prevention is preferred over reaction" is a phrase all pilots need to cement in our minds. My whole point in sharing this is that different scenarios may require different immediate emergency actions. I think the ABCD for takeoff is generally perfect for that scenario, but my fuel supply first reaction still feels like the right one for my in-flight situation. For takeoff emergency situations I also recommend using an aerial photo of the surrounding airport environment from any source (Foreflight , Google) to plan where you might land "straight ahead " when forced to do so. For me at KUGN off of RWY23 it's slightly straight ahead" to the right a few degrees that wouldn't cause a stall. However, it would avoid the immoveable trees. When I'm being a really smart pilot I check that out for unfamiliar airports as well during flight planning. It's just another area of improvement for me to be consistent personally after watching Day-1.
One for one. This years round is meaningful to me because I should be done with my PPL by the end of the spring. With my flight school closing (one of the big names in the PNW) it’s caused a delay in training. I soloed right at the end of last January and this series really helped. I know it’ll help me again as always
1 for 1. Had an emergency situation a few months ago and all of the Emergency Procedure practice made all the steps instinctual. That helped me mentally slow things down for a safe landing.
Coffee one for one, video one for one. Former GA pilot, rusty for sure... maybe this year I'll be able to get back in the air. Health issues my say otherwise. Happy New Year!!
One for one. Happy New Year, @MzeroA! 😊 This video was a happy surprise! I received a notification on my tablet this morning that you'd posted a brand new video. Imagine my delight when I realized that I was starting my second MzeroA challenge! I will enjoy watching each upcoming video just as I did last year! Thank you for your service, _Jason!_
Been waiting for the return of this! Up for it! Just got my NZ Advanced National Microlight certificate …equivalent to an LSA license in your area, and keen to keep learning 😅
Thanks for this - in the club that fly in I will often go out and fly with other members splitting time - some are CFIIs, I am going to make it a point to brush up on some of these procedures in 2025
Hello Jason aka ( MZERO FLIGHT TRAINING ) The way I feel, I am going to pass this time, I had forgotten about this, I got lot to think about and make other plans, I SURE HOPE SOME NEW PEOPLE COME AND WATCH, and if I talk to anyone I will tell them about this. I might watch some, I know I watch this last year, and the year before. I think I have watch 3 or 4 years maybe longer. This is good thing you got going, I have found out I am not as dumb as I thought LOL LOL. Happy New Year to you all.
MzeroA I’m behind, but I’m 1/1!! 🤓👍🏼 getting up to speed today. Live by that checklist for sure A airspeed (best glide) B best place to land C checklist and D declare!
1 for 1 from Hungary 🇭🇺 I had 2 notable occurences so far: 1. during my NVFR training pattern work just as I levelled off and was about to lower the rpm of the engine on my C150, it came down to 2-2.2k by itself and the engine started vibrating… it seemed to have smoothed out with partial power, but at full power the revs wouldn’t go past 2100 and the vibrations would come back. Since the happened around the downwind turn, we were able to land without any further incident. The root cause of the issue was discovered to be the carb heat mechanism being broken at several places, including the flap’s axis - the flap was stuck in a half-open position which resulted in not enough air making it to the engine at full power, therefore the mixture becoming too rich, hence the vibrations and reduced rpm. 2. The alternator has failed on my Cessna 172 Diesel. Luckily I was able to make it back to the airfield without any loss of electrical power (engine power would not have been an issue as it’s controlled by 2 FADEC systems which have a backup battery).
One for one! I only fly for fun with an instructor occasionally (I’m not a pilot). My last time out we had an induction fire on the ramp…not an emergency landing but my first emergency on the ground. It really tests your “In the moment” responses.
1 for 1. As a new pilot (170hrs) I've already had two :( The first was in my new (to me) 1963 Musketeer; high time motor (1920hrs), 9th time in the pattern when I blew a cylinder turning downwind at about 900'. RPM dropped to 1800, lots of shaking and then 1600rpm, no other choice but to turn to a final on runway 11 (KHEG), slipped and touched down about 1500' down the runway. Taxied back with no issue other than a little vibration. Fast forward to 16mo later, now with a newly rebuilt engine and 12hrs on it. Second time in the pattern, same airport, on final at about 200' and had a total loss of power. Got pretty slow quickly, made it to the runways and just at the numbers she lost all lift and dropped the last 7-10 feet. Hit hard but straight, went about 50' down the runway when the left landing gear collapsed, spun me around and sent me into the grass. No prop strike, but my poor girl had damage to the fuselage, left wing and of course the left landing gear. Walked away wondering 'what the heck happened'. I had 17/18 gallons of fuel, but the NTSB said fuel issue. Insurance took her away so now I'm back in a Piper Cherokey. Don't ever think it can't happen to you.

Congratulations on your ppl exam
Welcome to the club and keep the blue side up
Congratulations! Keep it up! 👍
One for three! Catching up this morning!!
One for one, here. I have followed you for year Jason, I love this concept and will do my best to stay the course.
1for 1 from Australia, always learn from your videos.
