And that’s basically it!
i started to read the article and thought 'these are dumb alarmist charges, boys can't even have hobbies anymore', and i read this
and now i'm totally on their side
it's even worse.
i could add also that he had a fire extinguisher hide in his pant (to be able to access the footage if the plane was still on fire i presume), the original motor was may be replaced before the crash, the plane door was not properly lock (to facilitate his jump)... ha and yes, he had a jumpsuit (no fitting a normal pilot activity)...
Well, all of that was badly done. He's a piece of shit that should never flight again.
And in addition to all of that. That plane was more than capable of doing an engine out landing in areas you can see in his video. But within seconds of issues he desides to pull back on the stick (to stop the prop for drama) and decides to jump out. He does no troubleshooting or looking for an appropriate landing site even though several good locations can be seen.
Even if you had to crash land, that plane can go slow enough that it's a better option than jumping out. Skydiving into the wilderness isn't a great idea.
I'm sure you mean pilot, but I agree and mean leave the ground
