    This procedure is called a positive exchange of controls. Under normal circumstances it is a three step process:

    Pilot 1: "You have the controls" Pilot 2: "I have the controls" Pilot 1: "You have the controls"

    This process removes ambiguity, ensuring that both pilots are situationally aware.

    According to the voice recording (VFR data), we can hear Brett James say “Jesus, take the wheel”.

    The VFR does not register a response from Jesus. Some have speculated that he was distracted, others say it may be a technical malfunction. Many others are speculating that he actually never existed.

    Unfortunately Brett James does not follow positive exchange of controls procedure, he never confirms that Jesus has the controls, and this is a fatal mistake.

    To a Christian, who believes in martyrdoom, dying isn’t so much trouble, because Jesus will forgive even the most psychopathic liars so long as they repent the night before. They will cognitively dissonance Brett James’s harms, and admit him to heaven, and the genocidal cause.

    Man, that’s the plane that has the parachute, too.

    I think small airplane travel is about as dangerous as motorcycle riding but it’s been a minute since I looked. I love flight and I’m not sure I’d get in one anymore.

      The CAPS system had been pretty successful too. I wonder what happened, they couldn’t deploy it. The lever is almost dead center and a little aft of the pilot and copilot seats.
