Instructions unclear, ended up in a different Solar System.

I wish I just came to you instead of searching endlessly for a explanation I could understand online.

I have been a student pilot for 2½ years. It's expensive and studying is very hard for me. Also free time is rare with a 50-55 hour a week job.

But these videos help so much. I have learned so many small tricks that stick in my mind. I'll keep watching these videos over and over even until after I get my license. Thanks again for all the great work.

3 year old video, yet the same amount of information gathered as if it was just posted today. Love watching you for learning while pursing my ppl. Rocketship game will still be played in 2025 lol

Hi, I'm Hezekiah's Dad. Thanks for this video. Very helpful. Just my speed. I'm 13 hours into my training so that I can be there with Hez as he progresses to solo at 16. Im 54. Great vid.

Struggled with airspace comprehension until this video. Thank you!

[robertoshinsky]

Thank you so much for this video - I’m bookmarking it! I’m a student with 6.8 hours in a Cherokee P28 and this is the most clear explanation I’ve seen on understanding airspace.

Just started flying again in a Bonanza at age 70. I haven't been flying for 15 years. Thanks for the sectional learning your great.

The Orlando rocket ship with all of the different airspaces was a VERY helpful example. Thanks for this walkthrough.

[stonewall]

I'm getting my CFI. I watch your videos to teach me how to teach my students. The rocket ship game is a MUST for an instructional aid. Well done sir! 👏

[karmabasedj]

The Class A jokes were awesome haha! And yea like others have said, this is very well explained!

I am in online ground school now, and the charts are kind of confusing. This really helps! Thank you! Sorry, I'm not in your ground school course, but I hadn't heard about it until I already started.

I’m your basic weekend flyer. This is a most helpful review. Can’t tell you how many times I was just behind the answer. “Oh yeah, I remember that now.” …. Think I’ll rerun the tape; see if I can’t be quicker on the answers this time. Thanks.

[mranderson]

Finally found my answers to questions others skipped over. Thanks. Helicopter trainee.

[RonWilliams]

Thank you! You’re a really great teacher! You made it easier for me to understand airspace.

23 for 23: The "T" on the airport airspace was a new one for me. I have never seen that before. A good pilot is always learning. Another great production from the MzeroA team... Y'all (yep, I'm from Texas) Rock!!!

I am just discovering your channel, and I just subscribed. I’m a relatively new student, I have about 18 hours in a Cessna 172, I have not soloed yet, and I’m beginning to doubt I ever will.
Landings kill me, I can’t get a grip on it. And now I’m watching a video on Maps I can’t even read. Every time I watch one of your videos I realize how far I am from being able to fly an airplane.

[justme-n-gracie]

After watching half a dozen sectional chart videos I found this one. It is THE ONLY one that I found easy to understand. THANK YOU! WELL DONE! NONE of the other videos explained the magenta transition areas.

[seemakhan]

23:23. Understanding the sectional chart is always a problem but you made it easy Jason, thanks so much!

[RicSantos]

Very useful video. Airspace is complicated but with this type of exercise and few practice we will be mastering this topic. Thanks so much for such great content.
