US FAA are investigating. There's a bunch of red flags including a disconnected fuel line and tap, the speed with which he abandoned the aircraft, seemingly without attempting to restart, or look for a place to land despite plenty of options (at 10k feet, good outlanding options nearby), how he bailed while holding a selfie stick and continued to film himself and the door of the airplane being open before the engine stopped.



There's a lot of takes on this on YT, including multiple people who have used MSFS to demonstrate potential outlandings. This bloke is funny on it:

Proud to officially announce we’ve hit our targeted speed for our tech demonstrator Phoenix 2: 136kt (250 +km/h, 155 + mph).
This is meaningful as our target cruise speed at sea level for our confirming aircraft for will be up to: 155 mph / 250 km/h.
Our tech demonstrator hitting this target helps us to demonstrate stability and controllability of the aircraft and control software also in high speed and helps us towards certification of our conforming aircraft by validating our models in the high speed regime.
Flight details:
