I've flown into both our Class Bravo airports in the Houston area. The first time was during the Covid lockdown and there was hardly any airline traffic. The second time was a year later, and I landed at each at night. It can help a LOT if you call the Tower in advance of your flight and find out when their big airline "push" times are, and plan to arrive outside those times.
15 for 15 That was an easy Bravo Airport, I pray the first time I go into a Bravo Airport, I get that same Blessing Amen!!! Jason, You are BLESSED with 2024 the Year of More and More and …
15/15. Definitely learned the part on asking tower if they wanted you to descend once passed the runway or airspace of MacDill AFB from what approach had originally told you prior.
Landed at Tampa once in IMC. The controller took me off course trying to sequence me in between the airliners, so I had to make a lot of corrections to get back on the ILS while flying the approach much faster than normal. I got back on the glideslope and broke out at minimums! A lot of stress, but great fun breaking out around 200 AGL.
15 for 15, thank you Jason! Loved the emphasis of identifying each parallel runway. Great briefing too of the runway exit plan. You’re instilling best practices for all of us to use in daily flying.
What a courteous ATC for telling you “thank you” for asking your clarifying question. Great way to handle any pilot, let alone a VFR into a bravo who is probably incredibly nervous.
Flying today from KPBI to KPIE. Checked NOTAMS before flight, and 18/36 at PIE was closed. The crossing runway would have put me in a 14 knot crosswind, which was outside my comfort zone. Because of this video alone, I had the confidence to divert to KTPA, and the folks on radio could not have been more amazing. Landed 19L and dropped my passengers off at Signature, then proceeded back on my route. Had it not been for this video, I would have been nervous, but I had the background knowledge to make me feel confident in my decision! Thank you!
15 for 15. KDEN=Denver Class Bravo... day and night, and twice towed gliders thru the Class Bravo. Yahoo! Atlanta Class B to operate out of Lawrenceville enroute to Sun-N-Fun. Keep going Jason!
Great flight into a bravo airport and hearing a friendly controller. Hearing this flight helps me feel more comfortable and confident for my first time flying into a Bravo. The added bonus is seeing palm trees and sun on this cold January day! Thanks for taking us along and instructing us how to land a plane at a large airport, and especially integrating IFR waypoints into the flight. 15/15
15 of 15 done. NIIICE!!! I used to live in Tampa many years ago while stationed at MacDill Air Force Base. It was so cool to see the approach over the base, the sight of the bay, Gandy Bridge and KTPA. Such wonderful memories. Thank you!
15/15 I’ve enjoyed the series, what makes me comfortable is many of the things your video series is sharing is completely in line with what my instructor is having me do Obviously, I trust my instructor, but it’s great to see validation from other instructors confirming the education I am receiving.
15 for 15 here. I’ve always loved flying into big, busy airports like this. It challenges you to be on your “A” game, and when you succeed, it’s a pretty cool feeling.
15 for 15! Great video. Definitely not typical of a busy Class B airport. With such a long straight in final, I’m always surprised by the visual illusions associated with such a long and wide runway. You don’t really appreciate that unless you’re landing amongst the airliners.
I can see my old place when I was living and working in Tampa for covid times. saw some awesome jets over there and the super bowl bomber fly over was awesome
15 for 15!!! Instrument check ride coming up in 2 weeks, and already working on commercial. Your videos are a great resource. Thank you and keep up the great work!
that was awesome!! MORE OF THESE! Would be helpful to see you fly into some non-towered airports with left and right traffic patterns to show the proper way to enter even if you could do a straight in approach.
15 for 15: Very interesting being directed to a VOR fix while on VFR flight following. This example highlights why I believe the terms "Pilot Controlled" and "Uncontrolled" should be replaced with "Procedure Controlled". As more and more pilot owned aircraft are upgraded with advanced avionics the practice of loading a fix in a GPS and flying to that fix to set up for a more efficient (saving time and fuel) entry in to the airport environment is becoming more common. Pilots are ignoring the standard and time honored tradition of the 45 degree entry. We have a standard practice but technology has caused us to outgrow that practice. If I ever get a chance to meet Jason in person I would love to sit down and discuss, in detail, why this issue is so important to address and fix.
15 for 15 thanks again Jason I haven't done a lot of B class work most my flying was done in the northeast and we had Newark, Kennedy, LaGuardia and Teterboro so it was busy airspace
15 for 15. A few years ago I was on a tour of the tower at Vancouver International CYVR, pretty much the same as a U.S. Bravo. I asked the controllers what I needed to know if I wanted to fly my plane there. The answer was know the published VFR arrival routes and be prepared to hold until they can fit you in between heavies.
Another great video Jason. I am definitely 15 for 15 so far this month. I am amazed that a major airport like Tampa was able to fit you in so easily. I know the one time one of my friends landing here in Calgary International they had him stay close to the end of the runway off to the side and then between airliners called him in for an short final. Keep up the good videos. I always love learning new things.
Great video. As a commercial instrument rated rotor pilot, I didn’t learn anything, but I did enjoy watching the video. Liked it, and I’ll watch some more on your channel.
Nice demonstration of the reason for familiarization of the airport prior to flight. I would have been looking like a dud asking atc for vectors not knowing the airport checkpoints, etc. Great point on listening in on that airport atc prior to flying in. This was the most complicated of the challenge videos so far, at least for me. You made it much easier to comprehend and prepare for.
15 for 15. I was looking for ATANE on my iPad while watching the video and didn't see it. I would have never thought that it was an IFR approach fix and to look at the approach plates. I'm just starting instrument training. Thanks again!
15 for 15, but playing some catch up. Prepping for my CFI checkride here in few weeks, so watching these during my “study breaks” to refresh the mind a bit. 🙂

15 for 15!
Fantastic!!
Learned A Lot!!!
Thank You Jason!
ET
15 for 15 and more !!!!! Thank You Jason!!! Learning learnig a lot,love your lessons !!
15/15. Definitely learned the part on asking tower if they wanted you to descend once passed the runway or airspace of MacDill AFB from what approach had originally told you prior.
15 4 15! Philadelphia Class Bravo is above my airport. Do this all the time!
15 for 15 - great examples of how we, as PICs, should remain ready for things to not got as expected.
Landed at Tampa once in IMC. The controller took me off course trying to sequence me in between the airliners, so I had to make a lot of corrections to get back on the ILS while flying the approach much faster than normal.

I can’t wait for tomorrow. We love this stuff ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
15 of 15 👍👌😇OUTSTANDING INFORMATIVE VIDEO SIR CHEERS 😇👌👍🍻
15 for 15, Jason! We're almost halfway through!
That is fantastic advice... spot both parallel runways to sight verify you are on the correct approach
15-4-15! Wowzers! Bravo landings would make me a bundle of nerves! Great video!🎉
15 for 15, thank you Jason! Loved the emphasis of identifying each parallel runway. Great briefing too of the runway exit plan. You’re instilling best practices for all of us to use in daily flying.

15 for 15! Roger That ! Thanks Jason !
15 for 15!! I Have always wanted to fly into a class bravo, now I know how. Keep up the great work.
Great arrival at Bravo airport. 15 for 15
15/15 Thanks for getting us Northerners halfway through the long January winter!

Great video, 15/15, 15 miles clear to land, amazing thanks for these great videos. Arm chair flying, just turned 80.
15 for 15. KDEN=Denver Class Bravo... day and night, and twice towed gliders thru the Class Bravo. Yahoo! Atlanta Class B to operate out of Lawrenceville enroute to Sun-N-Fun. Keep going Jason!
15 for 15. Great job. Enjoying every video.
15/15: Most excellent. Even as we gain more experience, landing at a Bravo is still somewhat intimidating. Videos like this really help!

15 of 15 knowing we can ask for a vector instead of an IFR fix is great to know. See you tomorrow.
15 for 15! Thanks for sharing this!
15 for 15. Great informative video Jason. Thank you.
15 for 15! Another great demonstration with an unexpected twist thrown in. Yes, I learned something today!!
15-15. Great interaction with ATC. That’s always nice and appreciated.
15 4 15 🎉🎉. Learned to handle situations in emergency conditions. Thanks Jason!!
15/15! Loving the series!
15/15 …excellent…learning more each day, thank you !

15/15 Yes, we're excited . . . nice job Jason . . . Bob
That was a really good lesson! Dreaming!
15 of 15! Another great video!
good day to you Jason you always have something of value to share thanks alot
15 for 15! Thanks Jason!
Great day for a TPA Class B entry, nice job!
15 for 15! That looked way to easy for a Bravo! Great video!
Day 15 was very exciting!
15 for 15…checking in a bit late today. Woo hooooo. I’m excited.
15 for 15 Jason. Great video.
15/15. Well worthwhile - my thanks.
15 for 15! I haven’t flown into a Bravo yet, so this video was full of information for me!
15:15, Handling IFR instruction as a private-only pilot was very helpful. Thank you for these videos. It is how I start my day.
15/15. Jason makes these look so easy! Someday hopefully, they will be easy for me too.
15 for 15! Thank you MZeroA team!

15/15. I enjoy flying into big airports. I’ve flown into KMCI a few times and even into Chicago’s busy airspace
That was an interesting episode. Learned a lot. I lived in Tampa for 6 years. Fun to see a flyover.
15 of 15, didn’t have much to today, but had to make time for this. thanks Jason.
15/15 Another reminder to have plane fully trimmed for hands free flight when needing to search/adjust for controller instructions.
I can see my old place when I was living and working in Tampa for covid times. saw some awesome jets over there and the super bowl bomber fly over was awesome
15 for 15!!! Instrument check ride coming up in 2 weeks, and already working on commercial. Your videos are a great resource. Thank you and keep up the great work!
15 for 15, always learning
15 for 15 keep it up Jason
15 for 15, an keep that learning going.

15 of 15! Lots of things going on in this one. Great to experience it thanks!
15 for 15!
Good stuff!
15 for 15. Welcome to the neighborhood 23MZ! You must have hit a really low traffic time to get landing clearance that early!
15/15 I’m loving the series! I lived in Naples for a couple years when I was really young. I consider Naples my hometown.
15 for 15 thanks again Jason I haven't done a lot of B class work most my flying was done in the northeast and we had Newark, Kennedy, LaGuardia and Teterboro so it was busy airspace
Flew into Tampa a couple mths ago on commercial flight! Nice to see it fron pilots view!!
15 for 15...great training videos
15 out of 15. Passed my CAP annual check ride today using some of your stall information
15……4…….15! Thanks for this video series!
15/15. These are awesome. Show the realistic situations to take the basic fears and mystery away.
15/15 Beautiful Tampa Bay!
15/15 Class B fun . Enjoyed it.
Great video, consider loading the localizer for parallel runways if unfamiliar. An old timer taught me that, helps especially at night.
15/15. Fascinating video! Loved it!
15/15! Great video Jason!

15 for 15. Loving it ❤
15/15 my goal is to land at MSP during training That'll be the best, can't wait! Thanks Jason!
Day 15 of 15! I love these videos because they continue to show the real life possibilities in different scenarios.
Thanks Jason
15:15. Instructor took me to land a C172 at Midway... Fun being able to say that I landed there.
15/15, awesome series.
15 for 15, good stuff 👏🏽
15/15. The ultimate controller.
15 for 15, never landed at a bravo, still intimidated, this video helps.
15/15, keep it coming
15 out of 15! Class B all the time in and out of homebase Orlando Executive for years.
Another great video Jason. I am definitely 15 for 15 so far this month. I am amazed that a major airport like Tampa was able to fit you in so easily.

Enjoyed that, thank you.

15 of 15. Great video
15 for 15! I've never flown into a class B, this video made it a bit less scary. Looking forward to the departure video!
15 / 15. Nice flight !!
15 for 15. I was looking for ATANE on my iPad while watching the video and didn't see it. I would have never thought that it was an IFR approach fix and to look at the approach plates. I'm just starting instrument training. Thanks again!
