3 Tips To Improve Your Landings - MzeroA Flight Training

m0a.com There really is a secret to perfect landings and in this video I demonstrate the do's and don'ts that will lead up to greatly improving your landings

[@crankMiHoffer]

One of the most subtle important features of your teaching is the constant "next" mentality. "What am I doing next? What's the next step?" There is no down time as PIC and you are one of the best in demonstrating this on KZbin.

Thanks!

I'll never forget my first solo cross-country from Houston Hobby to San Antonio International (really - we could do that back in the 70's). Approach control held me at 2500 feet on base for runway 12 R. A Braniff jet flew underneath my 150 (I could see the stripes on the co-pilot's shoulders) and the tower then just said turn final, cleared to land. Wow. I came off the power and hit full flaps and landed on the numbers from a 2500 ft. base leg. It was the first time I hadn't flown a traffic pattern but my training kicked in and I just flew it. Same coming back to Houston. Tower made me go around in a long circling approach to avoid a Southwest jet and I just flew it. My message here is airmanship and flexibility. I was a little rattled not having the cues I got in flying a pattern, but you don't always have that choice. Great channel. I just subscribed.

Used your tips in my flightlesson yesterday and FINALLY! After having like 40+ landings (some good, some bad) I aced all of them each time in the circuit. Usually I have some real good landings some at random, but now every time I aced them and it felt so good! Thank you so freakinh much!

[@stevenhair6156]

This man has a knack for teaching. He explains landing so well, you only need to hear it once or twice and it will retain. I hope he is a teacher or a professor of some sort....

[@pedrocampos5640]

Jason Schappert, I'm a private pilot from Brazil, and I'd like to say I really appreciate the work you do. Your videos always have amazing contents that are always very useful for us. Thanks a million! And most importantly remember: a good pilot is always learning!!! See ya!

[@jimi_be]

When the video started, I thought, here we go again...I've heard all this before. But, then you did the demos of what incorrect looks like which I found extremely helpful! I thought I was going to witness a tail strike a couple times...poor cessna :) Thanks for a fresh take on a familiar topic.

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Thank you my friend

[@mannyyalda8725]

I'm a student pilot in Chicago, with my third instructor all good pilots but not good instructors. I always come back to Jason to listen to and watch his amazing videos to comprehend what flying is all about. Thank you I wish I was in Florida and attending your school at MzeroA!!!

[@katejorgensen6113]

Love that you fly in the right hand seat. I’m learning to fly in that seat as I co pilot my 20 year experienced new partner. In Australia we drive right hand so it feels natural to me! My partner uses the word Flare but I know what he means. My instructor says I’m a natural ( at 52Im not so sure) but really it’s all the practice and having pre lesson explanations of concepts via the internet that have helped me get it. Awesome work. Thanks

[@julianalen3099]

Great vídeo. I'm a flight instructor in Argentina and i'm agree with you when you Say that a perfect landing starts with a perfect pattern. The only thing i instruct different is not to use flaps until you are in base or final leg being sure that , if the engine quits, you re gonna make it to the runway any way. And i agree that we don't flare , we transsittion. Thanks for your dedication... Cheers from the southern country

[@76groundschoolchick]

Is there a lot of general aviation in Argentina? Where in Argentina?

[@elpidiomanuelalvarenga4223]

@@76groundschoolchick Hi. I'm from Argentina, too, and you may say there is a lot of GA here. But I think that if our economy were better, many more people would own small airplanes, so mostly the activity is in air schools and clubs scattered throughout this large country. However, most are around Buenos Aires where I live. My flying is at a near village called Cañuelas, in Tecnam P2002, doing my private pilot course. Cheers.

[@SkyNdiveProductions]

This was such a huge help that I went flying today and made 4 great landings! Air speed is king

[@mikebrown9761]

Watched some of your good landing advise and just got back from another lesson. Instructor says it was my best landings. Thanks.

[@paranoiahax]

Hey, in one of your videos you mentioned putting the centerline over your right shoulder when seated in the left seat. This worked out great for me! Also the tip “transition to slow flight” really improved my round out into ground effect. Thanks Jason.

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Hey Adrian! Happy to hear that the tips helped out. Thanks for the support!

[@laprepper]

Had my second hour of pilot training last weekend and flew a straight in approach, turbulence about half a mile out from the airport was fairly significant and I was definitely over controlling the airplane on the way in and bleeding too much speed, fortunately I have a great instructor and he was able to help me smooth it out and then ultimately take the controls right before landing and give me feedback that I have to be a little more smooth so I don't burn so much airspeed, at the same time you definitely can't let the turbulence over control the airplane. He asked me at the end of the lesson how I felt and I said I loved it and I truly did. Can't wait to get my private pilot license and one of my co-workers is going to have his check right in November so him and I are already talking about shadowing each other during lessons just for more experience.

[@MzeroAFlightTraining]

Keep on practicing! It is great that you have a CFI that lets you fly but also knows when to take over/provide feedback. Enjoy your training and if you need any help along the way don't hesitate to reach out to us at [e-mail]. Thanks for watching!

[@tannerbechtel]

This is, arguably, one of the most effective training videos I've seen for GA. Thanks for doing these!

[@MichaelLloyd]

Awesome... now I know what I was doing wrong yesterday... flaring. I kept losing the end of the runway and I was landing in a 6-8 kt crosswind (about 70° off of the left side) and once I lost sight of the runway it became a salvaging operation. It was the first (thru fifth) time that I had landed an aircraft in 22.5 years. I've got a few more hours of dual (BFR) and I'll have useful pilots license again...

[@paulcredmond]

The bad landings you demonstrated, I've done them a bunch of times. I think what I gained from this was delaying the round out a little bit, I had a habit of doing it early and then stalling a little high which made a hard landing or flaring with too much speed which made the airplane fly more, which I'd have to correct with a little power to stop it stalling. It's a bit of an art form getting landings right.

[@ZicajosProductions]

It’s amazing to me that this man is taking the time to fly his airplane burning fuel. Purchased video equipment, teaching, editing and uploading for FREE. And I read the comments some give. Very disturbing. How did we become so unappreciative? How do people come to a training video clearly looking for training or you would not be here, but yet giving training in the comment section and correcting the trainer. 🤯

[@avrukin]

Can you show the site picture as your transitioning? You only show the front-view from outside the plane, but not what it looks like from inside the cockpit, which is really the critical point for actually knowing when to transition and what it looks like.

[@PilotCristina]

That’s kinda hard to take a picture of that cuz everyone has different sight pictures. I’m short and from someone who’s tall it looks different.

[@lachcik5084]

think of the runway at a 45 degree angle to start your turn towards the runway

[@jaimechavez2573]

Yes, told you perfect! He don´t putthe view to looks from inside the cockpit its the critical when you need makes the flare and pull up

[@dailydose273]

all his videos hide critical information or pictures that you actually need to verify. this guy is neaky.

[@weandrikombieni2120]

He means power on for landing, and started to dercrease you air speed with your left hand by figuring out the distance in front.

[@diegus012]

Great video and tips! I’d just add not to be so obsessed with “greasing it”. Just get it in there at a reasonable sink rate, straight, without floating too long, and most importantly, hit the intended touchdown point!

[@tallboywitshortpants]

Just yesterday I had the landing down. Like dude, I thought I was Chuck Yeager in the making lol. Then flew again today and kept jacking up on the landing.

[@nealhere]

Yay lose the word flair thanks for the validation. Great showing your hand movement during the last part of the landing. Students seem to lock in to place rather than make the adjustments needed. That will help me and my student. all the best neal ... Punta Gorda

[@LETSROCK2NITE]

Excellent video!

[@lpappas474]

I believe the term flare is the best description in describing what the pilot is doing when landing the aircraft. The pilot transitions from the approach attitude to the landing attitude by using a flare. When attempting to land the pilot transitions from a flight aircraft to a ground aircraft. With light GA aircraft, I found it important to instruct the student once on the ground to retract the flaps as soon as possible and thereby transferring the weight of the aircraft from the wings to the main wheel gear and nose wheel. In other words, transition from flight mode to ground mode as soon as possible. Of course in flight training, the term to use is what works best for the student..

[@user-tb8oi9nc4l]

[@shawnjones83]

Why the weird camera angle for your final "transition" landing, instead of the nice wing-mounted camera you used for all the other examples? It's impossible to see what you are trying to demonstrate from the camera pointed at the front of the plane from far down the runway.

[@JulianGerretsen]

[@tonyari223]

SOLID. idle throttle over threshold at that airspeed kinda seems risky just with possible gust, yet right on the money with that transition. With gust in the factor I wonder if he'd suggest keeping in power a bit longer. However I will give this a go on my next flight!

[@RedDawnAviation]

hand on throttle.. for that gust then option is go around if short runway ease her down if a long one

[@gerryortiz7276]

Well done!

[@MH-ve5sz]

I would love this exact video, but all from the pilot’s perspective. The part I’m most interested in is the sight picture during short final and flare, but that’s right when the camera changes to an outside view, which isn’t helpful. Thanks!

[@erikm9768]

Great, and subscribed!

[@raysteakley8063]

the video is awesome thank you.

[@faw3511]

Good advice. The only problem is that almost as often as not, something busts the pattern. Tower will extend the downwind, or direct a 360, or the wind will change. It's necessary also to learn to land well from busted patterns and, of course, straight-in approaches.

[@spencerjohnson7103]

What are procedures like for getting those drone shots at the airport? Do the FARs lay out any requirements? Really well dony video!

[@patriciokumagae6167]

I love this video

[@JoshuaTootell]

I don't know if it is my CFI, or the tiny field im flying out of, but we land very differently. I'm configuring for 70 wigh flaps on the downwind and holding that all the way until short final, than power off and basically a controlled stall to the ground after the round out. Now, my base and final are very short due to a hill that blocks the pattern, and I am virtually always flying in gusty conditions. My CFI did say that once I get good at landings on this field, I can land anywhere. My first landings on a different field definitely felt like they were on easy mode.

[@hendsonyu5167]

Yeah, landing, The speed is the king! Learned it. Thank you.

[@jdjd256]

Jason, Thank you for great tips and video. I am a student (Warrior PA28) and thought that I was doing good in learning landing. However, I have failed with one of the instructors. Unfortunately, not all CFI's are same. They do not teach or give step by step instructions. In final, the nose is still down until you come into landing arena. When do you pull back little bit, so that we put the rear pressure on the plane?
