Co-Pilot of the Rampart Aviation CASA 212 aircraft might have exited the Plane mid air , while aircraft was doing an emergency Landing !

Pilot , who made the emergency landing of Rampart Aviation CASA 212 aircraft (N497CA) at Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) had apparently told ATC that his co-pilot had “jumped out of the aircraft.”

The event took shape at the Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU), after Pilots reported gear issues post take-off at Raeford West and diverted to RDU for an emergency landing on Friday afternoon. Aircraft received severe damages.

A 911 call made by air traffic controllers suggests that the co-pilot, whose body was recovered later, might have exited the plane during a mid-flight emergency last week, as per the communications below.

“This is from Raleigh Airport. We have a pilot that was inbound to the field. His co-pilot jumped out of the aircraft."

"So, they said he jumped out of the aircraft," they say. "His copilot jumped out without the parachute so he might have impact to the ground.”

 "I guess at this point in time, all we can really do is kind of do a recovery,"

"Yeah, I know. Yeah, I mean, I don't know," a different FAA worker who takes over the call responds. "This is the craziest thing I've ever dealt with."

"I mean, I'm sure this pilot is going to be shaken up. I have no idea. He literally just said, 'my pilot just jumped out'."

Though it's yet to be solved , under which circumstances he took the step , Co-pilot's body was found in a backyard about 30 miles south of Raleigh-Durham International Airport.

NTSB says , "The NTSB has opened an investigation into the July 29, accident involving a CASA 212-200 airplane that occurred near Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina."
