1:27Captain Steeeve warns that the following footage and cockpit radio audio are distressing.
5:01Real ATC recordings accompany a flight-simulator reconstruction of the aircraft's final communications.
7:29He examines the crew's altitude fluctuations alongside weather radar and reported temperatures.
15:28Supercooled large droplets can alter wing aerodynamics and lead to an aerodynamic stall, he explains.
21:15He closes by remembering the families affected by the crash.

Captain Steeeve added 50,000 subscribers over the past seven days, a substantial share of his growth over the past month. His daily views are also running at more than three times their usual level, with the Palm Beach Learjet coverage accounting for much of that activity.

The most watched of his six uploads, "Understanding the Learjet Crash in Palm Beach | Captain Steeeve", has passed five million views. It examines the November 1 crash that killed all nine people aboard, bringing together weather radar, dashcam footage and air traffic control recordings. Captain Steeeve warns viewers before the distressing material; the reconstruction accompanying the radio exchanges uses flight-simulator visuals.

His explanation focuses on what the crew's reports of icing, turbulence and difficulty maintaining altitude can tell us about aircraft control. He also explains how supercooled droplets can change a wing's aerodynamics. These are possible factors under examination, not an established cause: the NTSB investigation remains ongoing.

The subsequent tail-debris update is now drawing the most daily views on the channel. It asks whether the elevator separation contributed to the loss of control or resulted from forces during the descent, a question we explored here earlier.

Elsewhere, the week's uploads follow Avianca's turbulence diversion, Delta's return to JFK after an engine-overheat report, and a Saudia crew requesting security on arrival. Pilot Debrief is also seeing unusually strong viewing activity, while Aaron Rheins remains close to his usual daily level.

Captain Steeeve's newest upload brings the focus back to routine precision: an Iberia aircraft turns right after a left-turn instruction at LAX, prompting an explanation of assigned headings and the phone call a controller may ask a crew to make.
