“Internet Info”

We particularly recommend the following:

From the Pilot’s Perspective

1. Mentour Pilot
   https://www.youtube.com/c/MentourPilotaviation
   by a Swedish Boeing 737 training captain. His explanatory videos with emphasis on piloting and safety have been so good he has been able to build up a very wide following with over two million subscribers. What is more, his success has not only enabled him to take time off from the major airline he worked for to devote himself to the offerings, but also benefit from the support of a team of great technical people for visual presentation and even research into details that others miss.
   Also see his website https://mentourpilot.com
   He is also creating a cell phone App called MENTOUR APP.
2. Blancolirio
   https://www.youtube.com/@blancolirio/videos
   While this almost “one man” operation does not have the bells and whistles of Mentour Pilot, it provides a great human factor analysis of events whether major or minor such as the problems faced by a pilot executing an emergency landing at a busy airport such as Los Angeles or a helicopter pilot ferrying a sports personality in fog.
