  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4.  @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.
