First time seeing a pilot wear a chute , more of a stunt pilot with a cheap old plane ready for the junk yard so why not film it crashing.That part was pretty cool and again not usual for engine failure mid flight, jump from plane and pull out your selfie stick. He's a good stunt man not much of an actor though, he should of hired Tom Cruise or Matt Damon for the talking scenes.

Too much theatrics & over acting...bad acting, imo. Sorry I wasted so much of my life watching.
Would any of you pilots wear the harness and carry the ‘chute during your evacuation hike?
No radio comms to another aircraft or tower detailing location and distress while still airborne?
Seems a bit odd along with the dramatic documentation commentary….I’m skeptical about authenticity.
Payne Stewart did it already!Cheap production, now if he stepped it up with an A6 Learjet full of fuel would of been much more dramatic.
@TurboTrout . point well taken. spending way too much time here.

There's your n number, be worth keeping an eye on. Typically they do a pretty through look through to figure out what caused an engine out. Unless he's smart enough to have staged a true catastrophic failure I'd assume the investigator would figure it out.
Speak for yourself! His plane almost hit my grand champion pig!doubt the Future Farmers of America care
As far as FTFAA, they’ll probably be waiting for the NTSB, who these days cashes the paychecks but often won’t go to the scene of a accident unless it makes the news.
Isnt this the same as an ejection seat?So what's the FFA rules about abandoning the airplane while it's at altitude??
Never underestimate the narcism of the social media celeb wannabes. If there was a passenger in the plane that needed help getting out, the camera would have come first.In a real emergency, who would be worried about filming sky diving portion with the hand held go pro. He didn’t make any mayday calls or seem to attempt a restart or try to save the aircraft. But grabbed the camera...

Looks like NC something
Which is the old school way of starting a N number, which matches the year of the plane, and is in a popular size and location

Probably some insurance fraud charges as well.If it was a real failure, over bad terrain, pilot in command (PIC) has a ton of authority, but needs to back his decisions up with reality, if he decides bailing is the best option to save his life, plus the plane isn’t over any people or property, he gets a pat on the back and a good job bud and becomes a member of the caterpillar club

If he staged that, well he’s likely to get some federal “love”
Especially in Cali. You are always in contact with someone. Doesn't matter if you are VFR or IFR. You must always practice "Clearance & Avoidance", but you are always under ATC control. That's what I remember, anyways. He did not contact anyone, so, staged. MacWould any of you pilots wear the harness and carry the ‘chute during your evacuation hike?

I used that info to find the approximate location of the bailout and crash site, again approximate but definitely in the area, about 2 miles east of the Manzana Schoolhouse Camp. Bailout happened at about 34.829895, -119.953515 with the aircraft heading approximately NW. The aircraft appeared to do a descending spiral into the ground, impacting at approximately 34.814616, -119.960225 heading approximately SE. Unsure of where dipshit landed but looking at satellite photos there were places he could've set the plane down to the west and a nice flat spot he could've landed his chute right below him.Taylorcraft BL-65, N29508: Accident occurred November 24, 2021 near New Cuyama Airport (L88), Santa Barbara County, California

Nah, Scotty would have just give her more power
The chute doesn’t bother me. I always wore one when flying the higher performance / aerobatic gliders.
Tragedy for such an iconic aircraft. (That did a pretty good job flying without a pilot)
Complete fake. He oughta be fined up the ass.
For such a hard impact, shouldn't there be a fire? Or is it random with small plane crashes?
