One for One. Just to know Jason, I passed the FAA Private Pilot exam with a 97%. Thanks to the MZEROA private pilot ground school. Now on to the MZEROA instrument pilot ground school.

1 for 1! I got an engine failure in 2024 while doing skydiving flights, and was able to bring the plane back to the runway, your videos for sure were part of the reasons why I knew instantly what to do and followed the ABCD 💪🏼 thanks Jason!

1 for 1. This years challenge takes on a new meaning now as I train for my CFI certificate. Love the channel!

1 for 1. I am embarrassed to admit this, but in my low wing plane requiring tank switching I was flying back from the Grand Rapids, MI along the Chicago skyline. I got so involved enjoying talking with my family that I forgot to switch tanks even with the EFIS reminding me every 30mins (I know that was pretty stupid and all the things I should have done better). Anyway, the engine started running rough; immediately and instinctively, I enabled the electric pump switch and switched tanks. The engine ran smooth again and it was ALMOST like it didn't happen. To be honest I didn't think I had practiced enough emergency procedures that my instinctive reaction would be so immediate. Understandably, my heart was pumping fast and I was just thanking God over and over for keeping us in the air.
I have been told "A good pilot is always learning", and I am even more disciplined now with my tank/fuel management. "Prevention is preferred over reaction" is a phrase all pilots need to cement in our minds.
My whole point in sharing this is that different scenarios may require different immediate emergency actions. I think the ABCD for takeoff is generally perfect for that scenario, but my fuel supply first reaction still feels like the right one for my in-flight situation. For takeoff emergency situations I also recommend using an aerial photo of the surrounding airport environment from any source (Foreflight, Google) to plan where you might land "straight ahead " when forced to do so. For me at KUGN off of RWY23 it's slightly straight ahead" to the right a few degrees that wouldn't cause a stall. However, it would avoid the immoveable trees. When I'm being a really smart pilot I check that out for unfamiliar airports as well during flight planning. It's just another area of improvement for me to be consistent personally after watching Day-1.

One for one. This years round is meaningful to me because I should be done with my PPL by the end of the spring. With my flight school closing (one of the big names in the PNW) it’s caused a delay in training. I soloed right at the end of last January and this series really helped. I know it’ll help me again as always

1 for 1. Had an emergency situation a few months ago and all of the Emergency Procedure practice made all the steps instinctual. That helped me mentally slow things down for a safe landing.
