How To Fly A Standard Traffic Pattern - MzeroA Flight Training

[spiro]

This video is just as much about avoiding traffic as it is for learning the traffic pattern. Thanks for the upload.

The least I can do is to thank you for such an amazing instructional real life scenario video, it is incredible the time and effort that you invest in your videos for our safety and learning. The more I study aviation the more I appreciate your videos.

As a rookie I appreciate all of the dialog in this video. This is exactly what I'm practicing today. However it ends up being a talking-head style lesson for the first half of the video. I would suggest some live views or drawings would add quite a lot of clarity to this session. The live video portion was good.

Thanks for doing the preparation, making the video, and posting it.

16:33 - “Just because I have the runway doesn’t mean they can’t cut you off or something”. So true! Great reminder to stay vigilant! Fantastic video on flying the pattern!

16:30 walking, driving, flying, I always like to say the Right of Way is used to determine fault AFTER the accident. It is not a guaranteed magic shield around you.

Hi Jason, your videos are great. I received my VFR-PPL five years ago and enjoy watching your videos on days I can’t go fly. Your videos reinforce good practices. Thanks for the uploads.

As a low hours student pilot I am watching a LOT of aircraft YouTube right now and this video has really stood out for it clarity and ease of understanding. Thanks man! Subbed.

So nice that you actually speak slow enough that us newbies can understand what is going on

Had some struggle on my ground school lesson for the Traffic pattern, watched this on lunch break at work and it’s becoming so clear now

Pre-solo student pilot here. My CFI regularly assigns your videos for me to watch. Very helpful! Thanks so much!

@11:30 Sorry to be a nag, but my CFI drilled this one in and as such it has become a major pet peeve of mine as well. In truth though, it’s a common misconception that may compromise safety.
I’m surprised to hear you say the upwind leg begins the moment you take off. The AIM is pretty clear that that is the departure leg with upwind leg being a portion of the traffic pattern in the direction of landing opposite the runway of the downwind leg. See AIM 4-3-2 and 4-3-3 including the figures:
Upwind leg. A flight path parallel to the landing runway in the direction of landing

Departure leg. The flight path which begins after takeoff and continues straight ahead along the extended runway centerline. The departure climb continues until reaching a point at least 1 / 2 mile beyond the departure end of the runway and within 300 feet of the traffic pattern altitude.

Well done Jason to you and the team. Great ground school and in flight work.

[RodneyBrown]

Wow, I learn so much from you Jason. Thank you!

This was helpful! I am a pretty new student pilot, everything is like drinking from a fire-hose at this point! One thing that would be great on this video if you ever re-do it would be a quick diagram on a whiteboard of the concepts. Great video, I have your book, too and I really found it helpful. Thanks!

Great Video. Went over traffic patterns today in ground school and this video helps connect the dots.

Another good Acronym for downwind checks is BUMFISH
Brakes Undercarriage Mixture Fuel Instruments Switches Hatches&Harneses

Thank you! i really enjoyed the video! It was very easy to follow and really helped me! this is my third summer working on my private and hopefully getting it done soon!

[SuperTexasBlues]

excellent video and information

i havent made a landing yet, but this will certainly help me think about where i am, where THEY are, and working together to make sure everyone lands safely...

if the arrow had been closer before making your x-wind turn, would it have been the proper thing to extend the downwind to allow him to land first?

[timmartin]

Great review of proper traffic pattern. Sadly too many (lazy) pilots think the pattern is an oval, not a rectangle and like to shave those corners. My instructor way back when always stressed, "square turns" and proper, concise radio work.

[andybz]

Great video. Longtime watcher here. I appreciate the radio communication pointers in an untowered airport like that one... smooth landing as well!
