btw he has turned off the comments on the video now

Even if the faa can't prove he faked it, it's quite easy to prove jumping so quickly was irresponsible and against procedure, so his license may still be revoked

Another youtuber pointed out that this wasn't Trevor Jacob's normal airplane, and it hadn't been seen on any of his previous videos. They went on to check up on it's tail number and found he isn't the registered owner. They also went through all his previous videos and found that there was no footage showing him wearing a parachute in any of them unless he was actually going up to make a jump. This brings his statement that he always wears a chute when flying into question.

To me, this all REALLY feels setup. Here in the UK (as far as I'm aware), after a set number of years or flight hours, an airframe pretty much needs to be stripped right down to individual nuts and bolts to be thoroughly inspected so it can get issued a new ticket of airworthiness. Unless you can do the teardown and rebuild work yourself, it's such an time consuming/expensive task that the final bill could cost more than a rough old plane might be worth. If the FAA in the US insist on something similar, maybe this aircraft was within weeks of being a huge financial burden to someone, so I'm theorising that Trevor may have picked it up cheap enough that he realised he might be able to make more than it's purchase price through ad revenue if he made a video that could potentially go Sound plausible ?

The fact he has contact with air traffic since he's using the headset, says nothing, and decides to jump without warning anyone is definitely something to look into

Okay so I grew up in and around this area and some of the trails he showed after he bailed out are trails that I've personally hiked. That, plus my biology degree, tells me that the aftermath had to have been filmed in more than one location. Not only am I familiar with some of the places where he was hiking because I've hiked there too, but the species of plants in the video tell me for sure that one part of it was more properly on the eastern desert side of these mountains and that some other parts were filmed on the coastal western side. My hiking experiencing tells me that the locations were hundreds of miles apart, although both in California and in the same mountain range.

I am also an amateur geologist and I saw the San Andreas Fault in his wilderness footage. That fault runs on the western side of those mountains and is the reason why there are mountains there in the first place. What's just went of that fault? Well there are generally nice valleys with a better climate than the eastern side of the mountains because of the nearby ocean. What do you find in valleys with decent climates? Well you find people and civilization, which is what he would have found if he didn't have his head up his ass.

GPS works here even in places where our phones do not (which is realize is a pretty strange concept for people in the rest of the industrialized world since I got better cell service in South America than I ever have had in the US). GPS comes from space so, can you see the sky? Well then you can probably get your phone GPS to work. Then it provides you with a lovely map of where you are. He probably should have also been able to figure that out when he was still way up high in his plane. I have personally used GPS when I was lost once and the reason I was lost was that I got so drunk that I blacked out and feel asleep in town in a place that I didn't recognize when I woke up. Dumb? Yes, but no one got hurt. All the other times I've used GPS have been to track my workouts and I know for sure that GPS works where cell service does not and, even more damning, GPS absolutely works in some of the places he was hiking because I have literally used it when hiking in those exact same locations.

Then this guy's survival skills are so bad that he probably couldn't survive anywhere without money because he doesn't have the first clue about how to find civilization, how to find the water that is least likely to get you sick (hint: the fastest running water or where a spring comes out of the ground), and things like the importance of thinking about building a shelter in the wild before it gets to be dusk, let alone dark.I wouldn't give him three days in the middle of the city if all he had to do was be homeless. Weak.

I hope they take away his pilot's license and everyone ought to stop watching his videos on YouTube so that maybe he'll have to do what they always tell us poor people to do, which is to get some job or another job or a better job. It's really a shitty thing to do, while honestly most of the people in this country are struggling to meet their obligations and some of us are struggling to pay for our basic needs, for some rich chucklefuck with enough money to buy, not just one, but two airplanes and afford to get a pilot's license (not something cheap to do here anymore) to crash one of these perfectly good airplanes for no good reason at all. I'm not a pilot and even I would have tried to land in that dry river, especially since I would have personally even known exactly where I was. He should probably at least be criminally charged even if he doesn't get convicted because this kind of thing is bullshit.

[tompsu]

His door was also open even before the engine died

[michaelferguson]

I’m pretty sure the reason he went back the plane was to collect and make sure he got every GoPro before the FAA finds the plane and find anything that might be useful as evidence since those GoPros would show what was going on in the cockpit.

[jroar]

FAA will pull his license and NTSB will recommend charges. He’s going to jail for this bonehead stunt.

[The-Night-Wolf]

Someone did figure out what airport he took off at and basically he would have needed to do a bunch of circling to gain the altitude he had. And also tested out landing with no power from roughly the same place and altitude and was easily able land safely in a field or down at the river bed you pointed out.
Another interesting thing was the plane wasn’t registered to him.

[SoloRenegade]

FAA doesn't need evidence of a stunt. They can simply find him to have operated an aircraft in a reckless manner, and that's it. FAA is actually a little too powerful in some ways. They pretty much have full authority to pass judgment here.

[cypriangacki]

This is exactly what happens to engines in props when the mixture stick is pushed to full lean.

[JetBOY]

If I had a plane.. it would be the most loved thing for me 😭

[RaleighLink]

I’ve been binge watching people roasting this guy and I’m not disappointed.

[henriksoderstrom]

Another glaring detail, which I'm surprised was totally not mentioned in this video, is that you can clearly see the pilot's door is cracked open there just before the engine stops.

[OFFICIALKRYT]

There is only one think in my mind:


Oh no that airplane...

[who_am_you]

he didn't even attempt to restart the plane, I think that the time he spent opening the door was him trying to set up his wrist cam before jumping

[muhamedd]

I think it would be more realistic if he jumped out without a parachute.

[MikeyMcBryan]

The Aircraft deserved better. Such a shame.

[littleferrhis]

I had this instructor who used to do crazy stuff in order to teach me. To teach engine outs he would literally cut the mixture, or turn off the mag key and have me land it or he would land it, and then push the nose forward full mixture and start it in the air. One time he landed with a stopped prop. This looks eerily similar to what he did with a stopped prop.

[jarky]

Thats jailtime for me, could´ve caused a fire or killed somebody! Also how can you do that to your own little plane... 99.9% Sure that it was on purpose, no procedures taken, no attempts to restart, every gopro perfectly set...
Found another interesting comment under his video "The wrist camera is what really gives it away. That is not something you would use to capture footage in an airplane cockpit, but it IS exactly what you would use while parachuting."

Bruh swiss liked my comment but i edited it and there is no longer a hearth on it :/
