This is an emergency revocation, to immediately prevent him from piloting an airplane. This isn’t the FAA’s final disposition of the case—there could be additional fines. However, the FAA can’t do much more than impose civil penalties. Any criminal prosecution is up to police agencies in the relevant jurisdictions. This could be federal (the crash occurred on Federal land in the National Forest System) or state or county authorities that go after him. Edit: That said, even if he isn’t criminally prosecuted, I don’t think Trevor Jacob will survive his own idiocy for very long. He shows terrible judgement and poor impulse control. He can plan, but he doesn’t really think things through. Sooner or later, reality is going to give him a good hard fatal kick in the nuts.

It will not be difficult for the authorities to track down the hired helicopter if Trevor did indeed remove the wreckage without authorization. That said, it’s possible that the local FSDO had the wreckage removed to a more convenient location. It the investigator is smart, he might even have gotten Trevor to pay for it! 😄 I haven’t watched any of Trevor’s videos, but I understand he has some about freight train hopping, including one where he is arrested. This wouldn’t fall under the FAA purview, but the NTSB would be interested if they get involved in the investigation. In any case, such videos shed light about Trevor’s willingness to break laws in pursuit of thrills and views—Trevor has a reckless personality. I hope the previous arrest, the intentionality of the crash, and the reckless operation of his aircraft will lead to a permanent loss of his pilot license. A part of me hopes that Trevor has done something (move the plane, attempt to erase raw video) to trigger obstruction of justice charges. It’s not really a part of myself I should be proud of, but this jerk really needs a comeuppance. Something to “bring him down to the ground”, like a stint in federal prison. Ah, well. It probably won’t happen for years, if it happens at all.

They didn’t have a good back up plan. The pilot that was able to regain control of the plane should have picked up the other pilot and dropped him off at the spinning plane before it crashed. That’s what Bugs Bunny would have done.

@lani6647 to protest this, I am going to call Pizza by the name Pia until Russia leaves Ukraine.

Hopefully they’re gonna go after the sponsors as well as the pilots.

He’s a thirty year old kid with rich parents that have enabled him and bailed him out at every turn. From the “spiritual” language that he sometimes uses, I’m pretty sure he’s been in a drug rehab and/or spent time in Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous or some other 12-step organization. He has poor judgement, poor impulse control, and even though he can make a plan and execute it, he doesn’t really think things through or consider consequences. I’d say there’s a high probability that he will kill himself doing something stupid. He’s basically the type who would try to set a world record playing Russian Roulette.

His telegram channel is viewable on the website. You don’t need to use the app to just view it.

Why do you find it necessary to bring politics into everything?

I’m so glad you are staying safe.

¡Viva Ucrania!

@alcoholic402 I had really hoped there wouldn’t be. I thought Russia would limit itself to occupying the break away provinces—I had no idea Putin was this mad or desperate. I imagined we were seeing a repeat of Germany’s invasion of the Sudetenland, instead we are seeing a repeat of the invasion of Poland.

@edwardrichardson5567 the bird strike engine might have still been functioning and providing thrust when they shut down the other engine. Remember, we see the puff of smoke indicating compression stall, but no obvious indication that the engine suffered catastrophic damage. It might have suffered some damage leading to reduced performance and this could have increased pilot panic (why is there something wrong with our (supposedly good) right engine?”). It was this panic that led the pilots to cut short their go-around and immediately land from the wrong direction. If they hadn’t panicked, they could have used a complete go-around to correctly diagnose the problem and/or complete their emergency landing check lists.

I wonder what the FAA people will think when they review these videos and see he is taking the whole matter as a big joke.

At some point the Ukrainian military might need cargo transport pilots, but in the current situation it’s only fighters and helicopters in the sky. Fighter pilot training isn’t something you can complete in a few weeks. It can take months, even years to fully train a pilot. That’s if training is even available.

I’m glad to find you safe and sound! Stay strong!

@richid7820 Your story is interesting. It illustrates the effects of adding layers of risk: 1. Unfamiliar terrain, 2. Mountainous terrain, 3. Unfamiliar with local weather patterns. Piloting in ideal conditions is risky. Stunt piloting, even if one is an expert, increases the risk. I would think that a stunt pilot that isn’t a complete pendejo would spend time flying and surveying the area he plans to fly.

I agree, but . . . The Russian people elected Putin. We will see if they support him after this criminal act against Ukraine, or if he falls.

As far as the rapid (rapid for FAA) response, this was an 🚨 emergency revocation 🚨. As far as we know, there hasn’t yet been a hearing on the case and a final decision, which the FAA would publish as a matter of public record. As far as we know, the investigation hasn’t been officially completed. I suspect that we’ll get a final determination in 8 months, the normal FAA time frame. The importance of the current development is that Jacob won’t be flying and putting the public at risk in the air. He will have plenty of opportunities to be a danger to himself or others on the ground, however, so I hope those law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction over the crash are investigating him for his reckless behavior that endangers people.

@HistoryNews10 <—Report these GRU agents and Russian Trolls for misinformation. Y’all know who they work for and their intentions. Report them and don’t bother arguing with them. They get paid to spread lies.

I don’t know if it as all similar, but I’ve stayed in hotels with a shared bathroom per 5 2-person rooms, and I’ve stayed in hostels. The most important thing, about 80%, is hotel staff to keep the bathrooms clean and usable. About 20% is guests being considerate of each other. And for me personally, it’s 99% getting to the showers while there is still hot water. 😉 There are a lot of guys who have never really cleaned up after themselves. They always had their mothers care for them. Really, they are like children in this way.

I think he admitted to the FAA that it was a stunt to on the advice of his lawyers. If he tried to lie, he would instantly escalate the case into a serious criminal matter (beyond any criminal liabilities he’s already incurred). WRT to the parachute, I think he packed it into his ass. In case of emergency he will just fart it out. When Trevor reapplies for his license, the FAA will be taking a look at these videos he’s now releasing and seeing how he’s making a joke of the punishment. I also think the “settlement email” is fake.

It was an emergency revocation to immediately stop him from piloting an aircraft. The FAA has not made a final disposition of the case. There might be additional fines (the only ones mentioned are for not surrendering his license to the FAA). I am not sure whether or not they can enact a ban against him for longer than a year. In an egregious and willful case like this, he’s been flagged as a hazard. The PPL is a privilege and the FAA can deny him that privilege if and when he reapplies. I’m not extremely worried he will be flying again a year from now. I think it’s probable that Trevor Jacob kills himself accidentally, doing something else incredibly stupid and dangerous, before he ever gets a pilot license again.

@brittajohnke1616 Not in the U.S. There is a non-profit organization (the USPA) that issues licenses, but they are not part of the government. The licenses are part of their training system, based on skill and experience. But a person without a license could still legally skydive recreationally.
