Trevor Jacob’s “Plane Crash”

[Ted Striker]

re: your simulator experience, it's tough to learn something from the middle. It'd be like learning to do linked parallel turns with properly timed pole plants before learning to snowplow or hockey stop.

Have taken a spin in a RL prop sim a decade ago. Could take off with some guidance (fuel flow, engine start up sequence etc) but fuck me, the landing part.
Never nailed it. Two "crash landings" and one dubious "you are gonna pay for the landing gear revamp" incident.
Maybe that was Trevors problem as well?

Yeah, I could almost buy into the idea of a meathead GoPro YouTuber having an engine/fuel problem and instantly saying "fucks sake, landing normally is hard enough, I can't even imagine doing it with a plane that isn't working properly... at least I know how to skydive!" You know, setting aside all of the other obvious bullshit relating to his "emergency".

Umm. Yup.

The reason why I ended up in that seat was my quip of "oh, I have flown some computer sims before".

- "Oh yeah?"
-"FML".

I imagined that being seated in a sim can be daunting ( had few side seat hours with the said type, as a passanger, not flying ), but when you are suddenly seated in The seat, with a half a dozen pair of eyes on your neck see in what spectacular way you will fail...well...that incident goes into my personal Top 10 of "most uncomfortable things you have done today" things.

That also led me to the revelation that if the flight attendants are suddenly asking "if someone can fly", I will hit the bong/trolley at that very moment.

What if he’s just packing extra heat in those pants? He’s gotta let the ladies know he’s down to bone when he lands in the middle of nowhere.

Duh.

I'm guessing the shit eating grin will still be there even when he's in jail....

Have he and Lesh attempted mating yet to create the ultimate hyper douche hybrid?

Late to the thread but it's insanity. Agree with most of the points from the thread - it's laughable to wear a parachute "just in case." What a jackass.

[waxman]

I suspect that was the case. He had a passenger with him that allegedly distracted him during his landing procedures. Still a pretty big miss all things considered.

Maybe it's me but I read that as he was getting a bj. Good for him.

The FAA has found that Trevor Jacob, a daredevil YouTuber who posted a video of himself last year parachuting out of a plane that he claimed had malfunctioned, purposely abandoned the aircraft and allowed it to crash into the Los Padres National Forest in Southern California.

In a letter to Mr. Jacob on April 11, the F.A.A. said he had violated federal aviation regulations and operated his single-engine plane in a “careless or reckless manner so as to endanger the life or property of another.”

The agency said it would immediately revoke Mr. Jacob’s private pilot certificate, effectively ending his permission to operate any aircraft….

Excellent closure.

The article is behind paywall, does it mention if any charges will be pressed?

The F.A.A. does not have the ability to prosecute; it can only revoke and suspend certificates and issue fines. The agency ordered Mr. Jacob to surrender his private pilot certificate and said he could face “further legal enforcement action” if he did not do so, including a civil penalty of up to $1,644 for each day that he did not return it.

Nice to see fucking wankers get their comeuppance.
Well played, hope your number of hits was worth it dipshit.

Shits on Youtube ... on Youtube.

Right away I wonder how could it be worth crashing an airplane, how/ how much did it pay ?

Took a plea for an offense that can carry up to 20 years.

Jacob pleaded guilty to one count of destruction and concealment with the intent to obstruct a federal investigation, a crime that carries a maximum penalty of 20 years behind bars, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California said in a news release.

For trying for a freaking wallet ad.

According to the agreement, Jacob had intended to use the video for a sponsorship deal with an unnamed company that made wallets.

To be fair, there’s a lot of money in wallets.

I thought the big money was in money clips these days

It truly was the comment I was hoping for.

[Whiteroom_Guardian]

No way he actually does 20 years right? 6 months max at a white boy country club with his own "cell", good food, TV, etc etc.
