So it's been 5 months since that tool Trevor Jacobs jumped out of a light airplane. Now we have these 2 losers performing this stunt which involves switching airplanes mid-air. I think stunts like these are extremely unprofessional, very dangerous, and give aviation a poor image. Aviation is NOT about chasing social clout.
The FAA allows unlicensed people to fly ultralights. It's a cultural problem.piperdriver wrote: ↑Mon Apr 25, 2022 10:52 amSo it's been 5 months since that tool Trevor Jacobs jumped out of a light airplane.

The FAA has already revoked Trevor Jacobs license and I hope the same happens to these 2 Fucking Losers.
End of Rant.
This is the most ridiculous part, and guarantees the FAA will take action. I would expect asking for an exemption, not getting it, then doing this stunt anyway is going to have more consequences than the Taylorcraft being crashed for likes.PilotDAR wrote: ↑applied to the FAA for authorization to fly this ridiculous stunt, were told no, and flew it anyway.
Another waste of a perfectly good aircraft.

Hopefully their "speedbrake" mod can be removed without any permanent damage. The FAR reg is quoted in Juan's video:digits_ wrote: ↑Tue Apr 26, 2022 10:15 am Only one plane was wrecked I believe.
Just because the FAA said no, doesn't mean it is illegal per se. It likely was an easy attempt to avoid further issues, but that doesn't mean that what they did was illegal. It's just extremely more likely courts will be involved to decide if it was indeed (il)legal.
Does anyone have any actual source about what precisely they applied for, and what the factual FAA response was?
Interesting. Would be a tough one to get out of. I suppose you could argue that that for this particular flight, it was necessary to be away from the crewmember station for the purpose of the flight.§ 91.105 Flight crewmembers at stations.
(a) During takeoff and landing, and while en route, each required flight crewmember shall -
(1) Be at the crewmember station unless the absence is necessary to perform duties in connection with the operation of the aircraft or in connection with physiological needs; and
(2) Keep the safety belt fastened while at the crewmember station.
It was illegal. I'm almost certain the 182 has a AFM requirement for a minimum crew of 1. Operating it with less than that is illegal. If you can use the term "operating"digits_ wrote: ↑Tue Apr 26, 2022 10:15 amOnly one plane was wrecked I believe.JasonE wrote: ↑Tue Apr 26, 2022 9:01 am This type of social media sensationalism has no place in aviation.

Haha, yeah! If I were Red Bull, I would be denying the use of their logo on aircraft, certainly not encouraging it! It's just reminding me which brand to not buy!It seems, pretty much every time I see something stupid being done with machines, either the machines or the people involved are festooned with Red Bull stickers...
Barnstorming “seemed to be founded on bravado, with ‘one-upmanship’ a major incentive.”[9] By 1927, competition among barnstormers resulted in their performing increasingly dangerous tricks, and a rash of highly publicized accidents led to new safety regulations, which led to the demise of barnstorming. Spurred by a perceived need to protect the public and in response to political pressure by local pilots upset at barnstormers stealing their customers, the federal government enacted laws to regulate a fledgling civil aviation sector.
All of the pilots who flew it with care and pride before, all of the AME's who maintained it with care and pride, the people at Cessna who built it with care and pride, and all the new pilots who could have flown it, gained experience and been a better pilot for it, but won't ever fly that plane - so, a few people.So they wrecked a perfectly good 182, otherwise who got hurt?
