You might still have access to incidents/accidents via the Internet from US Naval Aviation's "Approach" magazine and the "AMC Flyer", which was the "MAC Flyer" years ago.

Unfortunately very few of the aircraft types described in articles are operated by airlines, but you can learn a good bit from pondering how various flightcrews reacted to malfunctions, weather problems etc.

There might be fewer lessons to be learned by the newest generation of pilots (if an "automation cripple"), unless approached with an open mind. Most of these aircraft were designed before the age of LNAV, VNAV, autothrust and ECAM displays etc.

Many are still flown, on thousands of flights each day, near good and bad weather and most had NO Flight Engineer.
