Sentenced not for crashing the plane, but destroying the evidence and impeding a federal investigation. Hope they pull his pilots license if they haven't already.


Airmen cert doesn't show up in https://amsrvs.registry.faa.gov/airmeninquiry/Main.aspx

> In a letter sent to Trevor Jacob by the FAA on April 11th, the FAA said he had violated federal aviation regulations and operated his single-engine aircraft in a “careless or reckless manner so as to endanger the life or property of another.” The agency said it would immediately revoke Trevor Jacob’s private pilot certificate, suspending his license to operate any aircraft.

It would appear the agency has followed through.


The title of his latest video is "I Got My Pilots License Back! But Going To Prison..."[0]

No idea how the websites you cited work, maybe there's a delay. Seems like he's flying around again.

(Haven't watched the video and won't, but maybe he explains it further)

Yeah, but if he hadn't covered it up it seems pretty clear he would have been charged for deliberately crashing instead.
