15 for 15 - that was a friendly controller
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.
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.
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 - great examples of how we, as PICs, should remain ready for things to not got as expected.
15 4 15! Philadelphia Class Bravo is above my airport. Do this all the time!
A C-17 landed at Peter O a few years ago. It's hard to imagine how the flight crew confused a 11,500 foot runway at Mc Dill with the 3500 foot runway at Peter O ?? It just shows mistakes can happen to anyone and we should all stay vigilant
I was working at TPA the day the C-17 landed at TPF. What was really amazing is the MacDill Controllers did not catch the C-17 landing at TPF. They should have been looking out the tower window .
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 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.
I can’t wait for tomorrow. We love this stuff ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
15 for 15 and more !!!!! Thank You Jason!!! Learning learnig a lot,love your lessons !!
15 for 15, Jason! We're almost halfway through!
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 for 15!! I Have always wanted to fly into a class bravo, now I know how. Keep up the great work.
15 for 15!
Fantastic!!
Learned A Lot!!!
Thank You Jason!

Great arrival at Bravo airport. 15 for 15
15/15: Most excellent. Even as we gain more experience, landing at a Bravo is still somewhat intimidating. Videos like this really help!
15/15 Thanks for getting us Northerners halfway through the long January winter!
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.
15/15. Fascinating video! Loved it!
15 for 15.. wasn't bad at all going into Bravo.. Im amazed the radio didn't interrupt you ever 10 seconds.
15-4-15! Wowzers! Bravo landings would make me a bundle of nerves! Great video!🎉
15/15! Great video Jason!
15/15! Loving the series!

15:15. Instructor took me to land a C172 at Midway... Fun being able to say that I landed there.
15 for 15! Thank you MZeroA team!
15/15, keep it coming
15 for 15! Roger That ! Thanks Jason !

15 for 15! That looked way to easy for a Bravo! Great video!
15 of 15! Lots of things going on in this one. Great to experience it thanks!
15/15...great video
15 of 15 and great info.
15 for 15 Jason. Great video.
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!
Jason, love this years safer pilot challenge...great content. Really dig the landing at Tampa!
15 for 15! Thanks Jason!
15 of 15. Great video
15 for 15! I haven’t flown into a Bravo yet, so this video was full of information for me!
15/15 Bravo!!!
Thanks again 1
That is fantastic advice... spot both parallel runways to sight verify you are on the correct approach
15 for 15!
Good stuff!
15/15!! 💪🏻
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.
15-15. Great interaction with ATC. That’s always nice and appreciated.
15/15. Well worthwhile - my thanks.
15/15. These are awesome. Show the realistic situations to take the basic fears and mystery away.
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. Great job. Enjoying every video.
15/15 …excellent…learning more each day, thank you !
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. 🙂
15/15 I got cleared to land at a class C airport one time, and I was probably 15 minutes out fighting a good 30+ headwind (straight down the runway) in an older 172 - I told them I would get there eventually. I was lined up on the runway for that whole time (on a runway that gets a fair amount of heavy traffic) so by the time I was "base" I called to reconfirm landing permission because it had been so long. Slow day in the tower for those guys!
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.
15 for 15! Another great demonstration with an unexpected twist thrown in. Yes, I learned something today!!
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. Great informative video Jason. Thank you.
15……4…….15! Thanks for this video series!
15 for 15, good stuff 👏🏽
15 for 15 keep it up Jason
Day 15 of 15! I love these videos because they continue to show the real life possibilities in different scenarios.
Thanks Jason
15 of 15, didn’t have much to today, but had to make time for this. thanks Jason.
Great video, 15/15, 15 miles clear to land, amazing thanks for these great videos. Arm chair flying, just turned 80.
15/15. Jason makes these look so easy! Someday hopefully, they will be easy for me too.
Great video definitely not what I was expecting 15/15
15 for 15. Loving it ❤
Day 15 was very exciting!
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.
15 for 15, an keep that learning going.
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...great training videos
15 for 15 great video
15/15 Beautiful Tampa Bay!
15/15!
15/15 superb series. It would be so nerve wrecking to fly in Bravo air space
That was an interesting episode. Learned a lot. I lived in Tampa for 6 years. Fun to see a flyover.
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!
15/15 Class B fun . Enjoyed it.
15 4 15 🎉🎉. Learned to handle situations in emergency conditions. Thanks Jason!!
Great day for a TPA Class B entry, nice job!
15 for 15, never landed at a bravo, still intimidated, this video helps.
15/15 class airports is the bravest I’ve been. 😊
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.
15/15 I still haven’t had a chance to land at a class Bravo airport so this video is very appreciated. Ty
15 of 15 👍👌😇OUTSTANDING INFORMATIVE VIDEO SIR CHEERS 😇👌👍🍻
Flew into Tampa a couple mths ago on commercial flight! Nice to see it fron pilots view!!
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.
15:15, Handling IFR instruction as a private-only pilot was very helpful. Thank you for these videos. It is how I start my day.
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.
