FAA investigating controversial crash video
There's definitely some suspicious stuff going on:<p>- gave up waaaay too early compared to any pilot I've seen with an engine out<p>- skydiving rig[1] (bulky, more/less easy to reach handles, steerable) instead of safety parachute[2] (light, one accesibile handle, none/little steering, not intended for high freefall speeds)<p>- gopro on ~wrist~ selfie-stick<p>- long and stable freefall before pulling<p>- before jumping, he opens the door and looks straight down a few times, exactly like skydivers spot the landing zone before jumping<p>Basically I feel like I've watched an experienced skydiver on a planned jump more than a pilot surprised by an engine out.<p>[1] <a href="http://scrisc.com/image/cache/data/m2aad/tn_zoom_obrazek_88-700x700_0.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://scrisc.com/image/cache/data/m2aad/tn_zoom_obrazek_88-...</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.chutingstar.com/media/catalog/product/cache/dc97733eb80fca7b98ca9f338944f881/r/i/rigginginnovations_p124aviator_6.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://www.chutingstar.com/media/catalog/product/cache/dc97...</a>
