One of the things I've always admired about Jason is how much he promotes the professional mindset, even in brand new student pilots. You don't hear or see many people out there establishing this mentality early on. One should never wait until the day they become a professional pilot to adopt the mindset of being a professional pilot. A mindset is free to adapt and apply, and what I've found in my 100 hours of flying is that if you'll apply the mentality of wanting to be safe and professional early on, it will absolutely reflect in the way you fly. Once I got my ppl and started taking family up, I treated them just as I would a stranger who had zero knowledge of who I was as a person and went through a professional pre brief. It was crazy how much you'll actually confidence you'll instill into people when you treat this from a professional standpoint. I want everyone to fly with me to always know that their safety is actually more important to me than my own safety, and obviously we all have a dire sense of self preservation. Even if you're skittering around in a clapped out 150, be professional and fly it as though your next flight is going to be at the controls of a G650. Don't wait until you become a professional pilot to start thinking like one. Stay safe out there and thanks Jason for all you do for the flying community!
6 for 6! As a brand new private pilot, I am loving the 31 day safer pilot challenge. Thank you for sharing this recap of what went wrong on Southwest 1248. It’s very sobering.
That is soo sad. 😢 I raised my kids, always telling them to learn from their mistakes and try never to repeat them. I definitely believe that that philosophy should be part of the flight training, adding learning from others' mistakes as you are always teaching. Thank you for your constant vigilance in training, Jason.
No matter how much we train and prepare, accidents happen even to the folks that made it all the way to the airlines. "I know we're just flying 172's, but we can be professional about that." What a statement, and aviation is better with Jason. Great instructor/mentor.
6 for 6. Thanks for reflecting back to this accident. It is vital for us to be reminded to stay sharp and not get complacent on anything. We risk our safety and others too when we do that. Thanks!!
6 for 6 a day late. Thank you. Somber, but we must learn from the past! Thank you for the reminder, and my commitment to make safe choices by using all the tools I have available!
6 for 6 Yes I agree most wholeheartedly with Jason, We must learn from the past, to be the Best Pilots we can possibly be!!! There are always other alternatives. Don’t take unnecessary chances even if it’s allowed. Thank you Jason, for a needed reminder !!! ✈️
6 4 6: Jason wow! As a retired Airline pilot this one struck home. Remembering get home itis, fatigue, frustration ect can all lead us to overlook important safety concerns. Please everyone stay alive by staying safe and God bless!
6 of 6 done. Just as the old saying goes, "the bigger they are the harder they fall." When it comes to takeoffs and landings any flying adverse conditions simply become bigger multipliers the bigger the aircraft is.
6 for 6. I own a 182 with three other fellow pilots. I’ve often canceled flights if anything was off for me that day. The weather, how my day is going, if the pre flight checks went etc… I have a few pilots in my pool who i feel push the boundaries of flying when they should not have. Even during training twice there was an issue during pre flight and once during run up and I called the flight off. Paid my instructor for his time and instead we used our time together to review ways to be a safe and focused pilot. Thank you Jason for all the videos and content. You are a model of what seeking mastery is all about
6/6 We had an overrun of a GA single by an ATP-rated pilot who was getting back into flying GA. He was so fixated on the touchdown that he ended up floating down more than 3/4ths of the runway and ended up running off of the end. At this point, there was no damage to the plane. Instead of shutting down the plane and having the FBO assist in getting it back on the runway, he attempted to taxi back and then had a prop strike as he tried to get back on the asphalt.
I remember when that happened. Weather was blamed immediately. Also the fact that Midway is in the middle of a neighborhood. But now learning a few more factors in this incident it will make me think a bit going forward.
6 for 6, I’m a student pilot preparing for my private pilot checkride so I love these videos! Great information to be reminded of as I’m beginning my aviation career
6 for 6: What a sobering reminder of the responsibility we take on as pilots to make wise decisions. Because the decisions we make affect, not only us as pilots, but those around us as well.
6 for 6 One thing I learned in getting an instrument rating is weather is not predictable and I experienced this on one trip and had to make a decision to go elsewhere. not what you want to do but still here to tell of it and learn.
6 for 6..... Great recap of this incident Jason. I find myself watching the show "Air Disasters" a lot more now that I'm a pilot and learn something new with each episode. I'm a big advocate of safety and we unfortunately learn from past mistakes in order to make us all better, safer, Pilots. Looking forward to more videos to come.
6 for 6. As a new student pilot, these videos are an excellent quick view to help improve my knowledge and skills, because as Jason always says, a good pilot is always learning. ❤
I was on my way to Midway to get friends when this happened. It was crazy to see then and even more wild to watch now that I'm training to be a pilot!!!!
6 for 6, thank you for this video. As a new and inexperienced if you will private pilot, I take safety extremely serious. It’s a lot of responsibility to have your loved ones lives depending on your sound judgement. Thank you Jason.
It is critical to remember that a tailwind hurts us more than a headwind helps us. This applies to both takeoffs and landings!

6 for 6. We need to learn from accidents so others can be avoided. This has been a good reminder to us all.
6 for 6 Excellent Jason. Sticking to our personal minimum standards is so important.
Better to learn from other's mistakes than our own. Doesn't make us better, just wiser sometimes. Thanks Jason.
6 for 6 - thank you for your efforts in making us safer and smarter pilots
Six of six … thank you Jason for reminding of safety first.
6 for 6!! Great job Jason to you and the MzeroA team!

6/6. Good analysis of a tragic incident. The windsock in the otherwise excellent graphic is showing a wind from the west. 2:45
6/6 thank you for always reminding us that safety matters most.
6 for 6 after a little catch up. Keep up the great work.
6 for 6!
And yes, we need reminders and we need to reflect, that is part of the learning process!

I grew up 5 miles south of Midway! The pilot landed LONG. Which you never do at Midway! The airport is only 1 mile square! Total pilot error!
6 - 6 Jason. Keep rolling that footage I’m glued to the screen with my 🍿 and 🥤.
6-4-6! Great videos! I learn so much from these videos!👍🏼
It's always the 3rd thing that kills ya. Stay ahead of the plane 2 steps!!
6 for 6! Keep up the good work!

Impactful video Jason. I too am 6-for-6. ~Mark G.
Great job on these videos! I love watching them
Six for six! Thanks for another great and informative video.

6 for 6. Thanks for the analysis - very helpful. Too many causalities in GA in 2023 - let's make 2024 a record low.
I remember when that happened. Weather was blamed immediately. Also the fact that Midway is in the middle of a neighborhood. But now learning a few more factors in this incident it will make me think a bit going forward.
6 for 6, I’m a student pilot preparing for my private pilot checkride so I love these videos! Great information to be reminded of as I’m beginning my aviation career

6for6 thanks Jason for keeping it real.
6 for 6 as well. And DEFINITELY a good reminder for sure.
6 for 6. A good lesson to keep in mind. I commit to a level of high professionalism even though I am a fly for fun pilot.
6 for 6: What a sobering reminder of the responsibility we take on as pilots to make wise decisions. Because the decisions we make affect, not only us as pilots, but those around us as well.

6 for 6. What a sobering reminder of the pilot's responsibility for the safe operation of the airplane.

6 for 6, really good stuff getting us to think about safety!
6/6. I once landed either tailwind, saw the dramatic effect on the landing rollout. It was only 5 to 6 kts, but you definitely notice that.
Good morning, Jason! 6 for 6, and this rusty pilot is _loving_ the content!
Thank you !
6/6 I want to always prioritize safety as a pilot and, down the road, as a CFI.
