Was just on the local news. 7 people on the plane, passengers being treat on site.
What blew me away was the report said the pilot parachuted out before the crash. Personally, I wouldn't get in a plane if the pilot was wearing a chute. I can't wait to get more info. |

Pilot jumped but they're treating passengers? So was it a jump plane? Link? |
|
Did one of the remaining passengers fly it to the scene of the crash?

The pilot jumped out? Whole lot of wtf on this one.. need a link
|
|
WTF? Makes no sense. IB4 "pilot gets criminal charges" if he really did jump and leave others to deal with it, but that sounds wrong.
Maybe pilot deployed the aircraft chute? |
|
Capn not going down with the ship. so it just came down out of control.

All of the passengers that went down on the crashed plane (after the pilot bailed out) were treated and released.
...whole lotta questions. |
|
Probably meant to say that the pilot deployed the onboard parachute attached to the airplane.
|

Pilot was found at a hangar cooking hamburgers (made up fact). Stay on top of this because this is so odd.

that can’t be true wtf
ETA I will never fly in a privately owned small aircraft unless it’s someone I personally know extremely well. People are fucking idiots. There’s a reason most mishaps are general aviation and it’s not because they are inherently less safe than commercial or business class aircraft. Guys have the money to buy million dollar aircraft then wanna pinch pennies, complain and do shady shit when it comes to maintenance. “Omg that cost how much? Does it really need it? Is it required by law? Can you just fix the broke one? Can you just find a used one? Nah defer it. Only fix the minimum to get it signed off. Why are you looking for extra stuff just fix what I asked. Wow you are ripping me off.” And those are just the ones that actually bring their aircraft to an A&P. Most of them do their own “maintenance” and only pay for the required stuff (annuals, etc). General aviation is cool and the aircraft are really fun to work on but I will never go into that sector because so many of the owners are complete dumbasses. Plus, commercial pays 100x better for about 10% of the work load. |

Doesn't make sense, everyone survived and were released by EMS at the scene.
Pilot parachuted out and was at the hanger. Sounds like the airplane had a chute the pilot deployed Or the co pilot said you have a chute, get out and I will try and land the plane. |

Quoted: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/494680/1000005310_jpg-3223490.JPG Is this normal damage for a plane that had a chute?? View Quote That is not damage consistent with survival. Something is really off about this. |

Skydive Kansas City operates at Butler.
If a jumpers chute fouled the airplane it will be obvious at the crash . |

Here is the airport
Note the parachute by the airport. Cessna 206 I believe can be a jump plane so the pilot jumping out could be true. Also everyone else should have had a parachute but there could have been students. This was on their website 14,000 Foot MSL - Turbine Cessna U206 $32.00 per person |

Skydive Plane with 6 jumpers. First jumper parachute got deployed and caught in the tail Everyone including the pilot skydived out and is ok. Got the news a couple hours ago from wife of one the skydivers on the plane.

As improbable as that is, it makes a lot more sense than the word salad in the OP. It can happen. Pilot chute handle gets snagged and pulled out of its pouch or closing pin dislodged and opened container. If you see someones pilot chute or d-bag plop out in the aircraft with the door open you best be snatching it up or jumping on it and yell for the door to get closed. If the door is open and anything comes out and the jumper is near the door the safest thing to do at that point is push the jumper out the door ASAP. They can then handle whatever mal, if any, from their premature depolyment. Proper closing loop length and maintenance and protecting your handles goes a long way to preventing a premature deployment. Sounds like the jumper was in the doorway, on the step, or hanging from the wing strut when this accident occured. |

Turbine 206. I think it’s a conversion.
Not sure on the spotty story but I’m guessing everyone bailed out, not just the pilot. Nobody would survive that. Attached File |

I knew a sky dive pilot who had just dropped all his jumpers. He was to spiral down right over the field and land. He had an engine failure and he “bailed out.”
The FAA found him at fault since he could’ve landed as he was directly above the airport. He’s a regional airline pilot now but is stuck there as no legacy airline will hire him with that on his record. |

Was it a jump plane? Maybe the pilot said abandon ship and jumped and everyone else failed to get out?

(It's been a few min) Heck yeah, let me out... If between 1,000 and 2,000 ft and the plane breaks and your procedure is to go reserve you still need to buy beer that night? Only time I... we have ever left earlier than expected was late winter, early spring and were jumping a Beech-18. Several months on the ground during the winter (soft grass runways) so obviously the apprehension and adrenaline was going. One minute was reflecting on how damn cold it was going to be in freefall when noticing the glint of the ice crystals at around 7,000 ft on the way to 13,000. At around 7 or 8 thousand the left engine sputtered and someone asked "Hey Rick (pilot) you want us out?" No big deal getting out at that altitude except for those damn ice crystals stabbing you at 120 ish MPH Landed in a jump plane only once, a CASA 212 when the pilot decided half way up that some storms moving in could be an issue. In the back we decided to go with the head between the knees crash position just to mess with the pilot and co-pilot just for some laughs because how often do jump pilots land with nearly a 4,000 lb load full of jumpers.... |
