Short answer
Because he is a rated pilot, and since 2025 aviation incidents have been a regular part of the channel: the Air India 171 crash in a multi-video series, the Amazon Prime cargo jet overrun in Miami, a Philadelphia medevac Learjet, a San Diego Citation, a Southwest near miss, a B-52 near miss. He analyzes them from the cockpit side, citing his own ratings, and has said his own type, the Phenom 300E, is the reference point he reasons from. It is a second audience for the channel, and it is the one place the pilot training pays a visible dividend. 123
Since: 2025 (aviation analysis as a regular format)
Perspective: Rated pilot (instrument, multi-engine, Phenom 300E)
Examples: Air India 171, Miami overrun (and several near misses)
The format
Starting with the Air India 171 crash in June 2025, Kevin has produced a running series on aviation incidents: preliminary reports, black-box data, FAA warnings, cockpit-voice findings, often in dialogue with pilot creators like Captain Steeeve. Later subjects include the Amazon Prime cargo jet overrun at Miami in September 2026, a Philadelphia medevac Learjet, a San Diego Citation II, a Jeju Air 2216 analysis, and several near misses. 1
The credential behind it
Kevin’s account
We can generally land even with a 30-knot wind in the type of aircraft that I am rated in, a Phenom 300E, which is obviously a much smaller aircraft. 2
He holds a first-class medical certificate and has flown the Phenom 300E as pilot in command, including a landing in what he called the worst turbulence yet in July 2025. He no longer flies as a hobbyist; the analysis is where the training shows now. 3
Why it belongs here
Two reasons. It answers the “is he really a pilot” question better than any list of ratings, because the videos demonstrate the knowledge. And it is a discovery channel: people who arrive for a crash explainer find a finance channel, and vice versa.
A finance channel run by a jet-rated pilot will cover a crash the way it covers an earnings call. It is the same habit: read the primary data, explain it plainly. 12
Simply put
✅ What he covers
➡️ Big crashes and near misses, with the flight data and the NTSB or AAIB reports on screen.
✅ Why him
➡️ He holds instrument, multi-engine and Phenom 300E ratings and a first-class medical, so he reads the reports as a pilot.
✅ Why it matters to the brand
➡️ It brings in viewers who do not care about stocks, and it is proof the ratings are real.
