  50. Great video again! I would suggest a small improvement for future videos: I think it would be easier for the viewer if you repeated the year of the accident later in the video, especially in the part where you discuss how things have changed since the accident. This would make it easier to understand the progress that has been made in aviation safety and also underline how many years it takes to fully implement all the changes recommended in the report, if those recommendations are actually implemented industry-wide at all. And I fully agree that plain 1500 hour limit does very little to improve safety. I would rather have a count of correctly handled incidents in simulators. For example, different scenarios in the sim training could give different points for your pilot skill credit: safely landing a plane in heavy side-wind without working ILS might give you 1 point. And safely landing a plane in low visibility with windshear and an engine failure would give you 20 points. And of course, you wouldn't be told before the sim training what will happen outside the information you would have for any real flights either. And I would give points for correctly diagnosing any failures in the sensors, instrument or flight surface movement. Perhaps sim training should also include situations where the cockpit has been pre-configured before the tested pilot has entered the cockpit and the actual test starts at cruise flight and the pilot must correctly find some mistakes in the pre-configured state to safely land the plane? That would train the pilots to assume unknown mistakes or problems in the aircraft and always re-check things instead of assuming everything is okay.
