TL;DR

A weekend skydiving plane crash in Butler, Missouri killed 12 people and has renewed calls for tighter FAA oversight of skydiving flights, arguing that Part 91 rules give operators far less scrutiny than commercial aviation. The NTSB has long urged stronger training, maintenance, and oversight since prior incidents (including a 2019 Hawaii crash), but the FAA has repeatedly resisted tighter regulations, fueling debate about ensuring airworthiness, qualified pilots, and comprehensive federal supervision for passenger skydives.
