A 'plane swap stunt' by Red Bull that was being streamed live ended in a crash over Arizona. The Federal Aviation Administration says the company requested an exemption from safety regulations and had denied it. However, they went ahead with the stunt.
, saying on its website, "On Sunday, April 24th, Luke Aikins and Andy Farrington will go down in history as the first pilots to take off in one aircraft and land in another after sending their airplanes into a nosedive and jumping out of them!"
Adding, "Plane Swap has been a year in the making with hours and hours put in by Luke, Andy, Paulo and Aaron Fitzgerald the Aerial Coordinator to ensure the plan goes off without a hitch." The FAA provided its denial letter and in the letter, it stated, "The FAA has considered the petition, and finds that granting an exemption fromwould not be in the public interest and cannot find that the proposed operation would not adversely affect safety."
Continuing, the FAA further explained the reasoning for the denial, saying, "The FAA does not evaluate these deficiencies in greater detail because the petitioner does not provide a sufficient public interest case.
Second, the FAA has determined that a grant of exemption is not in the public interest for the proposed operation. The petitioner states that he has been conducting the operation in compliance with FAA regulations by having an additional pilot on board the airplane designated as PIC while the airplane swap described in the petition for exemption occurs.
