As a retired aircraft accident investigator, I can say that Mentour Pilot is unequalled for knowledgeable, informative, and useful presentations of the very highest quality! Probably one of the very best YouTube channels regardless of subject.

I’ve endlessly watched air crash investigation since I was a kid as I find it really interesting to see how people figure out the sequence of events/failures in systems that lead to these kinds of incidents, but since discovering your channel a I’ve found that I’m noticing where I didn’t before the tone of voice used in that show is way more overdramatic/tension inducing than is necessary (and as a very nervous flyer… probably not unrelated to my long history of watching that show) I’ve found watching your videos a lot more comforting while not losing the any of interesting information. I really enjoy how you emphasise the layers of safety systems/procedures that exist to stop things like this happening and the lessons that have been learnt since! I always feel much better about things when I understand them and your videos have been a great help in this! Thank you

TAP has a stellar safety reputalion, having only caused 1 accident since its inception in 1946. I'm glad to see that even after the errors on this flight, this pilot's skills kept everyone safe & its record clean.

Very responsible from Airbus for digging deeper than a single incident.

I was on a flight about a month ago that had a bird strike on the right hand engine, and it happened when the pilots were past V1 on the takeoff roll. Because of your channel I was able to explain to the other passengers what happened, why we were climbing out slower than normal, and what the pilots were going to do about it. I was able to reassure them that we were still safe. We returned safely to the airport. They all thought I was a pilot but I told them that no, I just watch your channel constantly! So thank you!

Just letting you know, I am a aircraft mechanic student. During our last hour of class our instructor puts you on for us to learn one case at a time. I've been a fan for years, just never expected to see your vids in a classroom setting 😂🎉

TAP’s safety standards are exceptionally high and has been very proactive in updating its fleet, incorporating new aircraft models that meet the highest standards of safety and efficiency. This includes adding next-generation aircraft like the Airbus A330neo and the A320neo family to their fleet. One of the safest airlines in the world.

As an engineer, 1 in a million, or 4 sigma compliance by humans is incredible, it's not really possible to expect humans to perform better than that. If you need better reliability than that, you MUST go up the hierarchy of controls and make engineering changes.

One of the most amazing sights of my life was going plane spotting in Auckland with my grandfather on a particularly windy day and seeing an Emirates A380 come overhead at an insane looking angle. The skills of those pilots are truly stunning. I will never, ever forget that sight. Everyone on the hill we were standing on were cheering. Not that the pros in the plane would have known lol.

Every industry should look at how the aviation system works. Being able to launch an indepth investigation from a single incident into something much much bigger and not stopping at just blaming the pilots is incredible work. Being able to bring forward changes on a massive scale even when death was not a factor is very laudable. Another top notch video Petter! And amazing work on the animation team from continuously improving one video after the other.

Please stop taking sponsorships from Better Help. They have been proven to not always use licenced therapists and have been caught selling user data. They are a very scummy company.

As an Airbus AFS engineer, I really appreciate your level of technical knowledge on the subjects, and the work you do on your channel to pass-on this knowledge to others.

I am a Captain with SAS, and happened to land that very same day in CPH, about 30 min prior to TP754. I do confirm gusty winds and rwy 30. Flying the A320 series these days, but with vast prior Boeing experience, I also confirm that most pilots on the Airbus will choose flaps full in gusty weather, as this gives better engine spool up and better tail strike clearance. On that day, as we requested pushback for the return to Stockholm, we were told the airport was temporarily closed due to an ongoing event. Once we got approval for push and start, we were told to hold short of taxiway Z to let TP754 pass ahead of us. We clearly saw the reverser doors hanging out on engine nr 1 as they passed with a bunch of rescue vehicles in tow... Great video by the way, as always, Petter.

Petter, you and your team continue to amaze me! Your documentaries outclass anything ever produced by "cable" channels. Thank you so very much for your obvious work and care into production and direction. You deserve a YouTube "Creme de la creme" award!

We are fast approaching the time where computer programs in general are too complex for humans to understand all of the interactions one section of code will have with all of the others. I think it was in I Robot where the old man talks about the Ghost in the machine. People infer he was talking about consciousness but it really refers to unintended interactions of one program with another. And it is only going to become more and more common.

I want to express my appreciation for these accident investigation report videos. Since I have spent a lot of time downloading and reading official accident investigation reports from several different countries, I know how technically dense those reports can be. Not to mention that as a lay person it is often difficult to grasp the importance or significance of certain data points, or sequence of events. You also provide some much needed background information that explains certain systems and/or procedures, as well as the justification for those procedures. Plus, you also provide an insider perspective on how the lessons learned impact and shape the present and future of aviation. That is very fascinating for me. THANK YOU!!!!

That A380 landing with the crosswind. Almost like mixing one of those oversized cargo ships with a racecar.

Hi mentour just love your videos. Have watched all of them. I am 15 years old now. And I aspire to become a pilot when I grow up. I draw immense inspiration from you

Cool that you mentioned the Cranbrook flight. My uncle was on it and one of the 4 survivors. He talked about watching the reverser deploy on one side and then going in to a cartwheel and then waking up in hospital. The similarities to this incident are eye opening although this one didn't result in tragedy. Neat to hear that it resulted in changing aviation rules surrounding thruster reversals and goarounds.
