American YouTuber Trevor Jacob lost his license to fly planes after filming himself skydiving from a crashing plane. The FAA (Federal Aviation Agency) was of the opinion that he had flown “carefree”. He is believed to have caused the plane to crash.
In January of this year, Trevor said he took a flight over the Sierra Nevada, a mountain range in California, to scatter the ashes of a deceased friend in the video posted to his YouTube channel on December 23 last year Path.
During the flight, he claimed the plane was having technical problems and then filmed himself skydiving to exit the plane, which then crashed. He also documented his path after reaching the bottom, which he described as a sixhour walk.
At the time of publication, several doubts were raised about the veracity of the accident, as it intentionally crashed the plane, which would not have any problems.
Aviation experts felt that the situation was orchestrated and that the mere fact that he had already parachuted was suspicious. He then closed the video’s comments.
The New York Times newspaper had access to a letter the FAA released on April 11. The document said he flew the plane “recklessly or recklessly to endanger another’s life or property.”
During that flight you opened the left pilot’s door before claiming that the engine had failed.

In addition, the agency stated that before jumping off the plane, Jacob did not attempt to contact air traffic control on the emergency frequency, did not attempt to restart the engine by increasing airflow over the propeller, and did not search for a landing pad . safe, “although there were several areas where it could have safely landed”.
Trevor Jacob, who was contacted by The New York Times, did not immediately respond and later said he could not comment on the case at the direction of his attorney, but “the truth would come out.”
