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 4 15! Philadelphia Class Bravo is above my airport. Do this all the time!
15 for 15, Jason! We're almost halfway through!
15 for 15 and more !!!!! Thank You Jason!!! Learning learnig a lot,love your lessons !!
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!
Fantastic!!
Learned A Lot!!!
Thank You Jason!

Great arrival at Bravo airport. 15 for 15
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 looked way to easy for a Bravo! Great video!
15/15 Thanks for getting us Northerners halfway through the long January winter!
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, 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.
15-4-15! Wowzers! Bravo landings would make me a bundle of nerves! Great video!🎉
15 of 15 👍👌😇OUTSTANDING INFORMATIVE VIDEO SIR CHEERS 😇👌👍🍻
15 for 15! I haven’t flown into a Bravo yet, so this video was full of information for me!
15 for 15! Roger That ! Thanks Jason !
I can’t wait for tomorrow. We love this stuff ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
15 for 15.. wasn't bad at all going into Bravo.. Im amazed the radio didn't interrupt you ever 10 seconds.
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. Welcome to the neighborhood 23MZ! You must have hit a really low traffic time to get landing clearance that early!
15:15. Instructor took me to land a C172 at Midway... Fun being able to say that I landed there.
15/15 superb series. It would be so nerve wrecking to fly in Bravo air space
15/15: Most excellent. Even as we gain more experience, landing at a Bravo is still somewhat intimidating. Videos like this really help!
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…checking in a bit late today. Woo hooooo. I’m excited.
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 for 15, an keep that learning going.
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.
Great day for a TPA Class B entry, nice job!
15 for 15. Great job. Enjoying every video.
15 for 15. I should put flying into a class bravo on my bucket list.
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
15/15 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!
That is fantastic advice... spot both parallel runways to sight verify you are on the correct approach
15/15! 😃I really liked to see an unusual class B arrival, stuff that aren't in the books 😉
15/15 I still haven’t had a chance to land at a class Bravo airport so this video is very appreciated. Ty
15 for 15! Haven’t flown to a class Bravo yet but I’m sure it will come!
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!
15/15. Jason makes these look so easy! Someday hopefully, they will be easy for me too.
15 of 15, didn’t have much to today, but had to make time for this. thanks Jason.
15 for 15, never landed at a bravo, still intimidated, this video helps.
15 for 15. Great informative video Jason. Thank you.
15/15 Another reminder to have plane fully trimmed for hands free flight when needing to search/adjust for controller instructions.
15/15! Loving the series!
15/15!! Let's keep this going!! How in the world was Tampa so slow they cleared you 15 miles out? That was nuts!
15 4 15 🎉🎉. Learned to handle situations in emergency conditions. Thanks Jason!!
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.
Great video, 15/15, 15 miles clear to land, amazing thanks for these great videos. Arm chair flying, just turned 80.
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.
Not quite 15 for 15 but I’m catching up. Super job, Jason… Phil in Texas
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 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.
That was an interesting episode. Learned a lot. I lived in Tampa for 6 years. Fun to see a flyover.
15 for 15! @Mzero Flight Training, Jason, was that controller courteous, or _what_ ? 😮 That was the friendliest Bravo controller that I've *ever* heard. Maybe he recognized you via your tail number and/or your voice (you _are_ famous, ya know 😊).
Each of these Challenge videos are really well done and informative, and I eagerly look forward to the next one. Jason, thank you immensely! ❤
Day 15 was very exciting!
Great video. As a commercial instrument rated rotor pilot, I didn’t learn anything, but I did enjoy watching the video. Liked it, and I’ll watch some more on your channel.
15 for 15! Thanks for sharing this!
DrNathan23 is 15 for 15. HALF WAY!!!!! YAY! I am glad that you acknowledged that the approach didn't appear to be calm winds! LOL!
15……4…….15! Thanks for this video series!
15 for 15 Jason. Great video.
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 my goal is to land at MSP during training That'll be the best, can't wait! Thanks Jason!
15/15. The ultimate controller.
15 for 15! Thanks Jason!
15/15 …excellent…learning more each day, thank you !
15/15. Amazing video and great teaching even though you always say inside the airplane is a bad classroom
That was a really good lesson! Dreaming!
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, good stuff 👏🏽
15/15 Class B fun . Enjoyed it.
15 out of 15! Class B all the time in and out of homebase Orlando Executive for years.
On my very first visit to a towered field, my CFI had coached me on all the possible things that the tower might want from me. After I made my request 10 miles out, I was immediately cleared for the option and to make closed traffic at my discretion. Not the learning experience that we had intended. We had not briefed that scenario! 🤣
15/15. Did all my training at a Delta under a Bravo, so I've flown in/though Bravo airspace more times than I can count... Never landed at the Bravo!
15 for 15, great videos… as a recreational pilot I’ve got no plans to got to a class Bravo or Charlie…but ya never know when you might need to
15 of 15! Another great video!
I can see my old place when I was living and working in Tampa for covid times. saw some awesome jets over there and the super bowl bomber fly over was awesome
15/15. I enjoy flying into big airports. I’ve flown into KMCI a few times and even into Chicago’s busy airspace
15/15 Yes, we're excited . . . nice job Jason . . . Bob
15 for 15! I fly in that Bravo with some regularity, but have never landed at TPA. Will have to give it a try!
15 for 15!! Beautiful day to fly there in Tampa, Florida! I was cleared recently 15 miles out for Atlantic City Class C! Had the airport to myself hahah
15 out of 15. Passed my CAP annual check ride today using some of your stall information
15 for 15!
Good stuff!
15 for 15. I was looking for ATANE on my iPad while watching the video and didn't see it. I would have never thought that it was an IFR approach fix and to look at the approach plates. I'm just starting instrument training. Thanks again!
Excelente excelente 👍🏼 i was present for Day one.. now I'm going to play catch-up for 2-14😂😂😂😂 have a great day and thank you 🛬
15 for 15, always learning
15 for 15 keep it up Jason
15/15 - Sport pilot student. I'm not allowed in that airspace, yet. Plan to get my endorsements after I check ride for the certificate. Meanwhile, I am studying for it. Thanks for the series.
seems that Bravos always have one or several surprises for you.
I’m already learning something on day 15! 5:34
Flew into Tampa a couple mths ago on commercial flight! Nice to see it fron pilots view!!
15/15. That looked a bit bumpy for a calm day. That was amazing. I've never been cleared to land when 15 miles out at a Delta or a Charlie airport. I can't wait for the departure. Hopefully it will be busier and more typical.
15/15 You often hear airline pilots/military pilots replying with just their call signs when there are no readback requirements. Adding a Thankyou definitely seems more in character for Jason though.
Great video, consider loading the localizer for parallel runways if unfamiliar. An old timer taught me that, helps especially at night.
15 for 15. I haven't had the misfortune of dealing with any rude controllers but have had a couple that were not willing to allow me to fly the plane. But the simple phrase "unable" seemed to do the trick. Plus, my brother has been a controller for many years (days away from retirement actually) and admits that they have good days as well as bad days.
15 for 15 - great examples of how we, as PICs, should remain ready for things to not got as expected.
15 for 15 - Great stuff MzeroA
