I struggled with short and soft field landings during my private training and one day my instructor took me to a 2000 foot grass strip with trees on both ends so I had to use short and soft field techniques at the same time, after that all of my landings were spot on. Nothing like real world experience, great video Jason keep em' coming 3/3!
So good! What a great and smart CFI
3 fo 3, thank you Jason! I liked the way you verbalized “protect the nose”. Helps keep focus on the critical tasks. Appreciate all you do.
Thank you my friend! The funny part is I talk out loud like that even when it's just me with no cameras on hahahah
I have been enjoying landing on real grass. I shall keep that york back at all times while taxiing. 3 for 3, Thanks Jason
My first landing on a grass strip was on my private checkride! He pulled the power, I looked down and saw some great fields, then he said “How about that grass strip right there?” Great experience, now I look for them everywhere I fly.
3/3 Love landing and taking off from grass - 172s, 150s, old Stinsons, bumpy, smooth, parched and hard, soft and springy (within reason of course!) - nothing beats the feel of that first grass landing of the day - reminds you of how much freedom you really have in a plane that other folks will only take to pavement. The downside? Well, grasshoppers accelerated to just short of mach 1 smashing themselves into every part of your cowl, especially when they get a chance to get nice and hard before you get to wash them off.
3 for 3, protect the nose. Two good things tonight. Thank you.
3. I was lucky enough to have a grass strip at our airport. Thankful for real world teachings.
3 for 3. As a new pilot, I have done several soft field just because they are different. Always looking for somewhere new to do either a full stop or touch and go.
Nothing beats landing on grass for the first time. Me and my instructor went out to Lee Bottom from Bowman Field and it was a great experience to help get the feel of a true soft field landing. If you have that mentality from a real grass landing and use it on your paved runway landings and takeoffs it will greatly improve your technique. Great video Jason!
Soft field landings are FUN! I've done many at Bob White near Plymouth, FL and my home airport in Miami was Richard's Field, a short soft field. I'm 3 for 3!!!
3 for 3. Excellent video. The carb heat detail is very important. I have flown out of grass strips a few times in my life and even took my PPL check ride at an airport with a grass strip. Looking forward to tomorrows video.
So awesome!!!
My instructor had me land on turf a lot. And it greatly improved runway landings. At 30 hours did an emergency landing asked the instructor why he didn't take over, he replied you were pic. Cannot imagine the nerve it took to do that. Once a month land on grass.
My first soft field landing was as a 12 year old in the right seat of a C150. Evidently my brother did ok. The field was literally a stubble field. The take off that preceded it was my first airborne moment. I can still remember how fast the shelterbelt at the end of the field seemed to be coming at us!
3 for 3. Never did a real soft field landing, but look forward to doing so.
I've landed on a grass strip :) Love the 31 day challenge every year
Good tip on the carb-heat prior to touchdown. Look forward to tomorrow. 3/3 Thank you!
I kept my first airplane at a grass strip in Iowa. Short field, soft field, every time I flew!!! Now, it's amazing how lazy I've gotten and use way more runway than I need at a wide, long, paved airport.
My first landing ever was a grass runway! It was in a C172 at Fresca field-C17 runway 27.
3 for 3. Great video. I especially like the mention of carb heat. That element is too often overlooked. I make sure all of my students get real grass strip experience. Even when I am doing BFRs, I make sure to take them to the turf. As long as the plane is capable. We have an abundance of grass strips here in Michigan. Many are well maintained.
That is so great thank you for doing that!
3 of 3 Sir 👌😇👍Never Done It Yet !!! ( I'm Still doing circuits training now !!! ) Great Point about carb heat off when landing on turf !!! CHeers 👍👍😇😇👌👌🍻🍻
3for3 I definitely need to return to a grass runway for some landings. It's been a few years since my last. Maybe I'll do it the time I'm in Naples!
I’ve never landed grass. Didn’t realize APF still had that open. I’d like to try it.
Three for three. Yes in training, yes for real. For a while my home airport had a sort-of-official grass runway, and we used it.
My first grass landing after flight training was flying my Musketeer to Hope CYHE. Nice runway, but at the bottom of a deep valley.
Hey 3/3! I LOVE me some softfield landings. Up here in Wisconsin we have so many opportunities to land on grass. It's so much fun and better on tires :)
So true!!! Hope you and the twins are well!!!! Miss you on the webinars
@@MzeroAFlightTraining miss you guys too! By the way...15*C is not cold my friend. :)
3 for 3! . Soft field technique is also good for Idaho/Utah/Colorado backcountry. Those are also high-density-altitude, which make soft AND short considerations very important!
3/3. Unfortunately, I never did an actual softfield landing, but I'm really enjoying these "lessons" since I'm no longer flying. Once a pilot, always a pilot (and always learning).
3 for 3 this great to know that Naples has a smooth surface I live in cape coral and its a short hop for me to get to Naples
Great Series Jason...3 for 3
3 for 3🎉. I was lucky enough to live on a grass strip. I was able to experience freshly mowed ,needing to be mowed and wet and dry.
I was very fortunate to have a grass strip available for much of my private training several years ago. I love landing on grass. Thanks for making these awesome videos. Three for Three!
You know, funny enough, I practiced Softfield landings a bunch with my instructor. When I did my check ride, my evaluator pulled the power and said it was a simulated emergency. The nearest airport was a grass runway and I had to land my first time on actual grass during that check ride.
My instructor wasn't too happy. She didn't like the extra wear and teary was putting on her airplane haha.
3 for 3. My first soft field landing was in Central America - always the same principles except remembering that no two fields are the same ..Local knowledge of present conditions helps
Did it during training several times, practiced it on a club annual a few weeks before going to a grass strip by myself for the first time. Also, 3 for 3!
3/3. The airport where I did a lot of my training is all grass. I have landed literally hundreds of times in different conditions over the last couple years from wet to dry. It’s a weird airport. Dual runways. The flight school runs 4 warriors, 2 ifr archers, 5 light sports aircraft, 1 pipistril electric aircraft, Cherokee 6, bonanza, travel air, barons and pc12 from the all grass airport.
When I started transitioning to tarmac when doing cross countries I struggled with centre line and rotating late due to the lack of feedback.
3/3. I love landing on grass. I find it slows me down gently and quietly, but rather quickly as well.
About six months after I got my private ticket back in 1985, gosh feel like back to the future, anyway, I had two friends in the airplane and we got hungry and saw a McDonald’s with a big wide open short grassy area that was not inhabited or have any structures near it. It must’ve been at least about 10,000 feet long and 300 feet wide I did my first actual soft landing in this field, got out of the airplane, got our happy meals and then took off again. I used every amount of length available, which one of the friends in the back told me that when I went to full power, holding the nose up, I also blew somebody’s lawn furniture up on their porch that was behind me. I got into ground effect about 1800 feet. The rest of the flight was uneventful.
3 for 3! Absolutely loving the series Jason, keep up the great work!
3 for 3 Gotcha here! I learned on a grass strip and love it. Gotta bleed off the energy and hold the stick back to save the nose wheel from a gofer hole.
3 for 3 appreciate the work and the community. Thank you
Love the content!!! Thanks for what you do!
3 for 3! Thank you for these mini lessons, awesome way to start the morning!
3 for 3! Thank you! I very tentative before landing on my first grass strip, but found that I LOVE landing on grass strips! Thanks for the tips to make us safer!
Thank You!!!
Nice!!
Another wonderful video !
3 for 3 I have made a fair amount of soft field landings that provided opportunity to visit places that would otherwise not be available such as some islands. Makes for great practice to help perfect overall landings.
3 for 3. Excellent demonstration.
3 of 3. Another good one! Thanks!
Tree for tree here. Soft field landings at CJL5 were part of my PPL when I learned in Diamond Katanas.
3 for 3
I land on grass at 18FD - my home airport - all the time. You should drop in sometime Jason!! The field is well maintained and lit. They just ask you sign a liability waver before landing.
It would make for a great night landing without aid of VASI/PAPI video. They are a challenge for sure!
It’s a shame that lots of rentals and flight clubs don’t allow the use of grass.
3/3 …and I had to watch the last one twice to absorb the lesson. Thank you MzeroA!
A day behind! Never landed on a real soft field but it’s on the bucket list. Thanks for the excellent content!
I love the video
Awesome and love watching all your videos
Thank you.
All 3 videos have been great.
Thank you
I've done a couple of soft field landings and I have enjoyed them. I'm still wrapping my head around the fact that you said 15C is chilly! We live in different climates! 😂
I mean I had a jacket on that is how cold it was hahaha
3/3 great vids…thanks mate..cheers Tony

#3 Great Landing!
Awesome 😎😎😎😎😎😎
I have yet to do a soft field landing. But my first lessons were on a gravel runway, and my CFI was constantly saying keep the nose up because we don't want to pick up any gravel.
3/3 Great lesson!!
3for 3 dawg!!! Booyaaa!!!
3/3 👍🏼!
