Yeah. Although you're always crashing, you're always comming back in 2-3 minutes. 
Lately I haven't been crashing much during a chase, except when I report to the Police Radio too long and am too late to pull up the plane to avoid a collision.
Also, that antenna at Battery Point spawns too late, leaving it unvisible until I crash my wing against it.
Lucky enough I spawn at the airport, next to my plane when or Reconaissance duty.
