This guy can cheer me up on the worst days. Competence, enthusiasm, authenticity.

The open mouth is part of temperature regulation (probably to warm up this time of year). Somewhat related...when I was first learning to land, on maybe my 3rd or 4th landing attempt ever, while on short final I spotted an F-15 eagle that had taxied up to the runway (KBAF). It was a "SQUIRREL" moment and I was totally distracted. It was a 'teaching moment' for me, while on takeoff or landing a bomb could go off but I need to focus on the task at hand.

I like how Marco Island AWOS is nicely enuciated and clearly read out so that we can comprehend it. That was a big aligator, wow. 4 0f 4

4 for 4 here! Alligators by the taxiway, there's something we don't see here in WI especially this time of year. I was starting to worry about you there Jason - takeoff is no time to get so distracted! I practice short TOL's a LOT, love doing them as much as I can. My old school CFI would always tell me "no skid marks, but I want some white paint from those runway stripes on the mains." He also told me to get on the brakes and retract those flaps as soon as I touched down.

OK Jason, we're going to have
to take your word on hitting your spot since we were only seeing the panel, but no doubt you did 😊 great series I'm loving it.
By the way Marco does also get salt water crocks too.
See you tomorrow morning.

4 for 4. Another great video… alligators, yikes. Always have to be aware of wildlife on the field. We have deer, bears, cougars, and elk at my small field on Vancouver Island. Thanks again Jason! 😊

4 for 4. This series could not be timed better. I sit for my private written test next week and (hopefully) have my checkride at the end of the month. The information presented here is so helpful.

[floridaspotter]

4 for 4! definitely haven't seen anyone else with an alligator. much more relatable because i'm training here in FL as well!

“A good landing begins with flying a perfect pattern.”

This quote helped me a lot during my training… and still does today!
