A copilot who jumped to his death from a small airplane in North Carolina was upset over damaging the craft's landing gear during a failed runaway approach and told the pilot he needed air, according to an NTSB report.
The plane's pilot in command told federal investigators that his copilot “became visibly upset about the hard landing” in the minutes after they diverted to another airport for an emergency landing, the report stated.
The copilot opened his side cockpit window and said he felt sick, the report stated. He then “got up from his seat, removed his headset, apologized and departed the airplane via the aft ramp door.” The pilot told investigators that Charles Hew Crooks, 23, the second-in-command on the CASA CN-212 Aviocar, did not appear to reach for the bar above the ramp to try to hold on.
