The door went from closed to open before the engine went out. I'm not saying that's proof it was a stunt, but it sure is strange.

  "Open the door" is not on the engine out checklist, its on the forced landing checklist, which comes after all engine restart options are exhausted. He didn't run any items on the engine-out checklist. He went straight to skydiving. I don't think any pilot that managed to pass their checkride would neglect running a single diagnostic or attempted restart checklist item. This had to be intentional.

    Yes, my point though is that the door was opened before the engine went out. It might've been on his "before you have an engine out" checklist.

      Its on his "get YouTube views" checklist
