Tangential: along with the admiral’s excellent reporting, does anyone have or know any other good sources to read up on aviation safety? The AOPA air safety institute is one I know of (they make excellent YouTube videos on their channel), and I’ve heard the NTSB themselves upload videos to their YT channel to. Any other names/sources?

I assume you’re aware that Admiral Cloudberg writes for Mentour Pilot on YouTube.

Also, pretty low volume but also low sensationalism the Australian regulator, ATSB, posts report summaries on YouTube.

E.g. https://youtu.be/dum4SfnX8uk

Juan Browne (blancolirio on YouTube) is good: https://youtube.com/@blancolirio?si=kadw8hC35YGWbRZe

(Dan Gryder is, IMO, on the opposite end of the spectrum from Juan.)

VASAviation has a bunch of radar recreations, but if you’re new to aviation safety and never flown under ATC, you might not get as much from it as you would from a more commentary-based treatment: https://youtube.com/@vasaviation?si=__ZSdYSR1YgTOpge

Just remembered: also Paul Bertorelli‘s videos on AVWeb, though he has now retired. They’re fun to watch even if you’re not primarily into aviation.

Sad to hear that Paul has retired, I loved his videos and articles.

But I was already expecting it rather sooner than later, and his retirement is certainly well deserved. I hope he enjoys it, and maybe his face comes up again some time.

I always check pprune (professional pilots rumour network) on any recent crashes, as many of the posters are pilots. However it's a forum so you have to wade through the usual idiots and arguments.
