I’ll second that recommendation. For any who don’t know him, Juan Browne’s videos are the best resource I’ve found for sober, no-bullshit reporting and analysis on everything related to aviation. Juan (a.k.a. Blancolirio on YouTube) is an

To be fair, maintaining straight and level flight— i.e., not falling out of the sky— is the easiest part of flying an airplane. Computers have been good at that for a while; in fact, that’s how airline flights are controlled these days dur
