The FAA is revoking Trevor Jacob’s private pilot certificate and said he chose to jump out of the plane “solely so you could record the footage of the crash.”
In it, Jacob, the pilot and sole occupant, is flying the single-engine plane when the video appears to show the propeller stop spinning. Jacob makes comments, several of which are bleeped, including one about an engine out.
An attorney listed in the FAA letter as apparently representing Jacob said he could not comment on Jacob’s affairs. He competed for Team USA in snowboarding at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, and came in ninth place in men’s snowboardcross.The FAA letter says that “during this flight you opened the left side pilot door before you claimed the engine had failed.”
After the crash, Jacob recovered the wreckage of the plane and disposed of it, and retrieved the cameras that had been attached to plane before the flight, the letter says.
