"He did the next best thing; he went on the internet ..." Oh, this can't end well.

12:44 I will never get tired of how he shows pilots agreeing about something by having the camera nod at the empty seat. 😂 Such a simple thing but always makes me giggle

Airbus also changed the procedure in the Maintenance Manuals, they got rid of the PPM calculations and just show a table with the amount of biocide required for each tank in mililiters.

The best part of that story is how professional all the flight crews were. It's just so satisfying to hear.

Hey Petter. I’m a travelling doc who works in a chaotic and unpredictable clinical environment. I am astounded by the differences in your industry and mine. There are so many lessons my industry could learn from you, your videos and the aviation industry in general. I so wish the business of clinical medicine was standardized as it is in your industry. Every ER I walk into has a different set up, different critical equipment, and staffing that is without standardized roles or anything that approaches CRM. With every hospital doing its own thing it is easy to understand why certain important pieces of equipment can’t be located immediately in a true emergency. When seconds matter, even in a well equipped hospital you can imagine how those holes in the Swiss cheese can line up with catastrophic consequences. It’s as if you as a pilot were to expected to fly in an unfamiliar cockpit every time you changed your base of operation and were also faced with non-routine challenges in that unfamiliar environment on a frequent basis. There are so many of my days that feel a bit for me like what your pilots in this video must have felt like as they were improvising on the fly and trying to get to a safe endpoint. The fact that medical errors are hidden behind the shield of patient confidentiality is another critical weakness of my industry. I have learned so so much from watching your videos. You are doing an incredible public service! Thank you sir.

The maintenance worker not only killed the fungus completely, but almost killed the plane itself!! 😂😂 Seriously now, amazing story, with amazing analysis. Congratulations 👏👏

My favorite part of Mentour Pilot's coverage is when he outlines the steps taken by the aviation industry to respond to each incident. It gives me the good feels that every incident is a learning experience to prevent future ones.

Certainly one of the most engaging storytellers on the internet, no bullshit and super ethical.

The most shocking news here is that after several unsuccessful engine start-ups, ecam engine stall messages on different legs of the flight, one engineer doing an outside visual check is ever regarded to be enough to send the plane back to flight. I think the crew did an amazing job but there was a lot of luck involved. If both engines had stalled at 500ft right after t/o the flight might be doomed regardless how skilled the crew is.

Thankfully the aircraft landed safely....which is why a TV show/documentary wouldn't touch this story. Yet another reason why this channel is so awesome - the emphasis is on analysis and lessons learned, not the dramatization of tragedy.

So glad to see a story like this. Disaster was prevented by the fantastic training and communication of these pilots and cabin crew. Outstanding performance! I do enjoy the disaster analysis videos but I would like to see more like this as well please.

I'm a private pilot and HUGE fan of your channel. After watching for more than a year, it suddenly occurred to me today that ALL professional pilots could vastly increase their situational awareness by simply watching your videos. I don't think it's an overstatement to say that these "stories" - not merely interesting and informative to a lay audience - are exceptional "awareness enhancers" for every imaginable (and a few unimaginable) crisis. Even if every pilots gets the required training mandated by aviation authorities following incident and accident reports, and no matter what the lawyers might say, it seems to me there is no pilot alive who could not benefit tremendously from watching these. I might even go so far as to say that lives might be saved.

Thanks for this one. I find the 'almost' accidents just as, if not often even more fascinating than dissection of actual accidents!

Learned from offshore oil rigs that it helps to have lots of detail in manuals or task sheets. If a biocide is to be used, then have the equation and an easy conversion chart right there. Have a step specifically mixing the biocide with fuel for pre-mix. People make mistakes but those mistakes reduce when you're clear on your instructions. It's one of the points of good management.

I am an A&P instructor (and pilot) and use your videos often for class! I so appreciate that you carefully show every aspect of the issues leading up to the crash, and the NTSB report breakdown! You're helping teach a lot of young mechanics about the importance of doing their job with integrity!

I find this fascinating, for anyone else wondering, the organism called Candida keroseneae (yes that's the name!) was isolated in 2011 from fuel taken from an aircraft, it grows and sustains itself on kerosene, that's amazing. While I was researching this I found others that can sustain themselves on alcohol fumes, growing on the ceiling of distilleries. Nature is incredible.

Pilot: Aaah, hey during our flight the entire plane started to vibrate and my screen told me that my engine was stalling Engineer: nah, bruh IT'S FINE. 😀

Man that entire crew deserve raises. Amazingly well handled for what I can only imagine was an incredibly stressful situation.

What a brilliant air crew. Everyone working together as a team led by a calm and well informed Captain
