I actually had a real engine failure and had to land on a ranch 32 miles east of Las Vegas NM. This all just before I took my checkride!!! Needless to say, I aced my checkride.......especially the emergency descent and landing. By the way, it was also my wife's first trip in our plane. My instructor was was with us just in case you were wondering..........Love your videos, the are so educational and help tremendously in helping me be a better pilot. Thanks Jason......hope to meet you in person someday.
Glad you landed safely! Did you record it? Can you share it?
@@cn9936 I did not get it recorded. I had my hands full and it was my wife’s first ride in our 182. Needless to say it was a little stressful.
@mzeroa im 3/3. I had an engine failure last year (blown cylinder) and landed in a recently harvested corn field. No damage from the landing. I frequently fly from grass fields and practice full down forced landings regularly.
3 for 3. As a student pilot just 10hrs in, this type of content definitely helps. Keep up the great content Jason. Cheers to a great 2023
3 for 3 Yea. I live on a grass strip in IN so I fly on and off of it daily. It is a blast. Thanks for the video Jason
3 for 3: To answer question #1 I just did my flight review in December. I was at 3,000' MSL at 2 miles from KTPL when the CFI, unannounced, pulled the power and had me land at Temple Airport without power. It was 34 degrees outside and I had never sweat that much while flying. Loved every minute of it. Becoming a safer smarter pilot.
3 for 3! Keep up the great work Jason!
3/3 here. Landing every week on grass since our AeroClub here in Argentina has not one but two and olny grass strips. Soft field training since day one. Cheers from Villa Mercedes San Luis, love your videos
3 for 3. Your videos are super helpful as I am a student pilot with about 13hours in and overwhelmed at times. Your videos help me unravel the information I am receiving.
Appreciate you and your time!
Just take things one at a
time, you will see how everything connects well.
3/3 I have landed on grass. Not simulated EF to grass as our grass strip at Gloucester is to short
Simulated engine failure on my skills test down to runway 27 from 2500 ft and made it in with a quick engine warm as you do. Jason keep up the good work from the UK
3 of 3 keep ‘em coming!
3 for 3. In my 19 years as a private pilot, I have engine-outed myself all the way to the ground many, many times. It's good practice to know the glide characteristics of the planes you fly.
I learned how to fly on a grass strip. Columbus Southwest airport in Ohio. 2300 grass strip in a 1946 Luscombe 8A. And yes, I have engine-outed myself all the way down to the grass.
Over the years, two of my favorite $100 dollar hamburger locations had grass strips. One is a truck stop with a great buffet next to a grass strip in Mount Victory, Ohio. The other is Peach State Aerodrome in Williamson, GA.
In the US, where I got my PPL in 2020 (ground school with MzeroA), I never did softfield landings, neither during flight training nor after the checkride. For converting my license into EU-PPL after returning to Germany, we did our pattern work at a grass strip (EDOD). Respectfully approaching my first landing there, I now prefer to do softfield landings, since it is more forgiving...
All the best from Berlin!
3 for 3 - yes. My instructor lives on a grass field, so spent a lot of my training landing on his soft field
3/3 and yes, I've landed on a grass strip. Very enlightening!
In my primary training, my instructor would pull the power on every flight - at "some" point! One day, he pulled it, and I looked out (ABC) and identified a grass strip. We set up, and I made a downwind, base, and final. I kept looking and waiting for him to put the power back in, and say "good enough". All of a sudden, he looked at me and told me to land or prepare for a crash! It was pivotal! I never knew that a simulated engine out could result in an actual landing! Since then, my flying club hosts an annual fly-in to a mountain-top (in Connecticut) grass field (2000') where everyone is expected to make three landings in club planes, with CFI of choice. We also have Katama (1B2) reportedly one of the longest grass strips in the northeast!
Not a soft-field, but a favorite winter activity is landing on the awesome ICE runway at Alton Bay (B18) in Laconia New Hampshire. This would make an awesome video of N23MZ! (hint hint) 🙂
3 of 3 awesome video
Glad to see this important topic being featured so early in the series. 3 of 3. As to your questions, in training (and on the check ride), I did land on a regular paved runway after spiraling down (and slipping at the end), but nothing involving a genuine soft field, either for a simulated engine out or normal soft field landing.
BTW "Hey Baby, Traffic 10 o'clock!" Would make a great MzeroA shirt for Magda! LOL
you are the best sir...
3 for 3! Great series!
3/3. Yes, I've landed at EHHO, which is a grass airport. You really need to guard your nosewheel, keep back pressure until you're parked. Soft field takeoff is also more challenging. They have good coffee at EHHO ☕
3/3. Yes, as a Aeronca Champ pilot, I actually prefer grass. If you have not landed on grass you have to do it, it will be the best landing you have ever had.
3/3 Nice job you two!
3/3. Never landed on grass field but this video gives me a confidence to do it. Well done Jason!
Wonderful video series. I lost a friend in an off airport, engine out landing. He didn’t have a shoulder belt. The aircraft nosed over and his forehead contacted the panel, killing him in an otherwise survivable crash. I immediately had shoulder belts installed in my flying machine and I keep them on at all times. Last thing I want to need to remember is to put my shoulder belt back on prior to an emergency landing. I notice you have shoulder belts but choose to keep yours stowed, even during landing. I know it’s none of my business but I’m still going to suggest you wear it.
3 for 3. I have practiced a simulated engine failure and spiraled down to a road, but didn't land. I haven't done a soft field landing yet either. Hope to do both soon. Thanks!
Nice job. Thank you sir.
3/3 loving this!
I had 3 takeoffs and landings on a real short and soft field. When taxiing keep the back pressure in the yoke! Valuable training.
3 for 3 on the 3rd in my 3rd year watching the safer pilot challenge. Love the videos. My CFI was awesome and we did some grass strip landings during my PPL training. One of the funnest days of PPL training.
Love these videos man! Just started flying 15 hours in and they are great
3 for 3. My PPL checkride is on day 31. (3rd attempt due to weather in the PNW) My instructor did have me land a few times on a grass strip, WA46 one of which was simulated engine out. Soft-field takeoffs are one of my favorite things to practice.
3 for 3. Thank you, Jason. Great video and well executed. Yes, landed on a grass strip years ago in Upstate New York with my instructor. You're right, it's a different experience.
3 for 3..I always talk about wanting to land on a real grass strip and this has motivated me to make it happen!!
3/3 yes! Thanks for these videos!
3 for 3. Landed on grass many times in a Titan Tornado home built. Haven’t done an engine out practice to ground, to a grass strip or to a soft field. Great content and now I’ve got something else to practice!!
3 of 3 I only have 7 hours but I watch all your videos to help keep me sharp and learning! Thank for everything you do!!!!
I've not started my flight training yet but I'm trying to learn as much as I can while I work on myself to do better on my Medical. I'm on Day one and watched all three videos and hope to catch the rest as they are released.
3 for 3, I did this multiple times during my primary flight training. I live in Louisville, KY and there is a great grass strip in the area where we would practice this exact thing. Not only did it make me more confident, it was a lot of fun too 😁
Haha Lee Bottom All the way!
3 days down. Thanks for doing this series.
3 for 3 (actually 4 for 4 now). I made two attempts in the past to obtain my pilot's license. Once in my 20's, and later in my late 40's (when I received my SEL certificate). Over the years I have flown in and out of soft fields in both tricycle and conventional aircraft. But here is a story about my first experience.
When I was an early student pilot, my instructor proceeded to have me do my first simulated engine out. In that first time he had me actually land on a grass field. So, from the beginning that is all I knew. A little later on I had a review flight with a different instructor at the school. He pulled the throttle back and said, "Your engine just quit!" I went through the checklist. located a field and proceeded to land. Because the only other time I did this I actually landed the aircraft, that is exactly what I was going to do. I continued to go past the 500 ft level when the instructor took the controls from me and said, "What are you doing? and he proceeded to climb back out. As he was climbing, I looked out the window at a farmer waving his hands at us in discuss. Little did I know my previous instructor had me land at a local grass field that was approved to land at. I apologized and explained to the review instructor why I did what I did.
I have never forgotten that experience. It taught me more about the importance of proper communications between a pilot, crew, and passengers. As PIC, make it your responsibly to know everyone is on the same page. Asking is as important as telling.
Enjoying the series. All my PPL training was done in a PA28 Warrior from an airfield with grass runways, EGCB in the UK. Longest runway was 2000' and shortest 1300' which concentrated the mind! I even did my multi rating there on an Aztec. Certainly improves landing techniques, but first time into a larger airport with long concrete runways was very strange!
I did a simulated engine failure spiral down to a grass strip right before my PPL check ride but I haven’t since then. I will make sure to do a few this summer!
Wonderful skill to practice. I’ve done many soft field landings. There’s nothing left out of this excellent video.
343. Thanks much Jason. Lots of soft field in the 140; always fun. Appreciate you taking this scenario to the ground…
Thanks for the series of videos! My check pilot on my PP check-ride, made me take it down to 20 feet! No kidding. DPE John Bosco, a legend on Long Island.
Thank. you for the instruction.....I need to practice this more often!
3 for 3! Love the video's Jason...and yes, practiced engine failure down to full stop landings from multiple altitudes (1,000 - 1,200 - 1,500 AGL) with a safety pilot just two months ago. Haven't done an "actual" soft field landing yet, but i only have 300 hours
I started flight training a year ago in a J-3 Cub from a grass strip. We always simulate engine failure, & once we went all the way down, but it was on a paved runway. So I guess it's the opposite of what you were asking! We train to land in a glide. I have no flaps so I have to slip. ( Which is super fun) Thanks for your videos, they have helped me along the way.
3 for 3! Enjoy your videos!!
3 for 3, great training and looking to apply it towards my Sport Pilot certificate training.
3 for 3 and loving it!
Nice new intro!!
3/3. Did all my initial training from a grass strip. I actually struggled going to tarmac in the beginning of my cross country training.
3 for 3. It was the summer of 1990, and I was on my THIRD training flight and my instructor pulled the power for a simulated engine failure. I picked the "field" in front of me... at about 300' I was expecting the instructor to add power for a go-around (we had done a few engine fails in the first few flights). Out of the corner of my eye I saw planes and I was told to land in the field. I was so new I didn't know the local airports and had landed N51's grass field that is perpendicular to the main runway. It was very exciting and a good learning experience.
3 for 3. I have landed on grass, but not with my Cirrus. I need to practice your technique. Nice job.
I'm 3 for 3. Love your videos.
3 for 3, and great advice to practice emergency landings to the field. I will definitely start working on grass landings.
Hi! I am in the first week of my private, loving these fire hydrants I am drinking out of! Thank you! Can't wait to be a great pilot!
Great video! My local check pilot had me do a full stop grass simulated in a C172 at Harsens Island MI (Z92). Can confirm its a VERY different experience! Especially one surrounded by water.
My first takeoff and landing ever was on a grass landing strip! The main runway was being refurbished so that is the only available runway. 3 for 3!
3 of 3!! Yes! My home airport is on a grass strip.. and just for fun this December my CFI though it would be fun to do some real soft field t/o and landing after an early snow, but not frozen ground day kinda melty day
My two favorite grass strips near me are Peach State Aerodrome (GA2) - we use a side step approach so we are not steep over trees. And in my back yard is Triple Tree (SC00). Highly recommend them both! Yes, Yes, and Yes on your questions. 🙂
3/3 This is on my list for this year for sure
3 for 3. My planes is in for an annual so I'm chair flying this week, but good time to re-memorize the check lists. I appreciate the bullet points that pop up in the video as well, thank you!
3 for 3! Never landed on a soft field, also I’m low hour student. I really enjoyed the mzeroa ground school trail. About to make the swap
3/3. no I haven't done soft field landing. Thank you for today's video.
3 for 3. We have a grass strip about 20 miles NW of where I trained outside of Chicago. It’s owned by the Dacy family of wing walker fame. We would do soft field and short field on this grass strip! Actually two grass runways in Woodstock Illinois.
1. Yes. Only at an airport paved runway.
And the last two answers for the other questions is no. That is because for the reason you've stated about insurance and other inconveniences. I would like to try. I even ask my instructor for possibility to arrange an actual soft-field landing, but the answer is still no. Instead, we do an overshoot over soft fields and simulate the soft-field landings on the airport paved runway. "Practice like you'd play" are the words that resonate in this video!
We live in an airport community on a grass strip. We take off and land on grass every day. We still practice soft field landings elsewhere as well
3 for 3, Jason Magda made the video fantastic w her readout of Emergency Checklist w you read back to her was excellent! Magda having eyes out window for traffic. Having a knowledgable assistant in cockpit helps as does my wife when we fly. Ok yes I’ve landed regularly on grass strips, performed w instructor engine out all the way to a full landing. Question for you Jason is when your high on final do you practice “Slips” and maybe talk of that in upcoming videos. Thanks 5 for 5👍✈️❤️
3/3! I have not landed on a grass strip but I will try it sometime this Year
3:3 and loving these short nibbles of information.
3 for 3. Love flying to GA2 Peach State to Barnstomers grill, excellent grass runway!
When I was instructing, we would actually turn off the engine, yep many years ago. Although I own and fly an ercoupe which really lands better on grass, I had not landed on a soft field.
Great video, thank you.

3for3. Yes practiced grass field landings over the summer. Also have spiraled down to a landing at another airport to practice.
Playing catch up.
As a pre-solo student, have not taken it all the way down but I have landed on a grass strip in a Cub.
2 of 3 but will catch yesterday’s video later.
Yes I have done some soft fields. Candlelight Farms (11N) Very bumpy!
3 for 3 Yo! (After years of practicing engine out the traditional way, I had an instructor pull my engine over a 2000' grass strip (Buchan, X36) near the end of a flight review several years ago. I saw the field when looking for a place to land and maneuvered for it. We both agreed on the final approach to fly it all the way to the ground dead stick. game changer experience.)
I've landed on grass (1C9 - Frazier Lake) and it's actually easier and more forgiving than pavement, especially in a tailwheel, but I think there are at least two important heads-up to be made to others thinking of doing the same:
1. Grass strip runways tend to be a bit less "formal" than pavement and you have to keep an extra eye open for things like pedestrians and mowers. About 2 weeks after I landed at 1C9, someone else ran into a volunteer running a mower on the field and killed the poor guy. Was the pilot looking for a guy on a mower? Almost certainly not since riding lawnmowers don't tend to wander onto pavement runways, so there's that extra dimension to be aware of.
2. Since grass strips tend to be maintained by volunteers, you can't expect consistent quality - gophers, rain storms, bad pilots who have left divots in the field, all need to be taken into account. On a pavement runway, you can see the potholes. On grass, not so much! Caveat emptor!
3. Given some of the abuses that grass strips suffer as well as the point made in #1, you can expect the maintainers of the few remaining grass strips in some urban areas to be A LITTLE TOUCHY. Don't do laps. One simulated emergency landing, sure, then fly away. Grass is not nearly as easy to repair as asphalt and, again, repairs and maintenance are usually done by an all-volunteer crew, so unless you're one of them, please don't abuse the privilege!
3 for 3. We have a grass strip and it will be included for my soft field and take off and landing training at KHDL. Looking forward to it! Jody Spann
3/3. I do a few grass fields a year. I remember my check ride in early '90's was a REAL soft field, grass with 4" of fresh wet snow.
Super
3/3 keep it going
3/3 Yes , I do my training on the airport of my high school which is a grass runway , basically I do all my take offs and landings with the soft field technique departure .
I am three for three and enjoying it!
3 for 3 today! I do have a couple of grass strip landings under my belt. Was already private before I got the opportunity. It’s very different than how it feels to practice soft fields on the tarmac
3 for 3
Landed with an instructor on a grass strip to break up a long instrument lesson. It was spring and the field was very soft. Landing was fine.
First takeoff had to be aborted because we weren’t building enough speed.
Second takeoff went better, learned a lot about soft field take offs that day.
3/3!! Have landed and taken off from grass field but CFI took the controls to demonstrate.
3/3 and yes to all three questions.
3 for 3, and yes I have landed on soft terrain. A few times on local grass strips, as well as some snowy runways.
3 of 3 excited to fly this new year. New year, new me lol
3 of 3!
3 for 3 Landing on a soft grass field this spring-The flight school already talked about that too
Never a plane, but taildraggers do great on grass! =) Landed in many fields after a HG flight though, once you turn final there you're totally committed.
3/3!
My CFI had me land on grass several times under DFW Bravo at Lakefront
Asphalt so bad we landed next to it on grass. Llano Tx has a grass runway also and killer BBQ
My Instructor was a crop duster and is a tail wheel fan, during my training in the Warrior, regular gear, we did a few grass landings so I knew how they were.
3/3, still working the finance side to make flying a reality for me. I think I heard you mention before it take finance and time to come together.
3 for 3 👍👍👍 yes have practiced doing a soft field landing with instructor during an annual review👍
Just before my Private checkride, I was doing a Mock checkride. My instructior pulled the power at about 4500 feet and had me land without touching the power. It was great! Afterwards, he said, " Now you know you CAN do it!" We don't have any grass strips out here that I'm aware of. I will try to find one.
