Components
(1) SEAT LIGHT switch: must be pinned
(2) Command ejection selector positions
(a) BOTH: actuation of ejection handle
from either cockpit immediately ejects
the aft seat, followed 0.4 seconds later
by the forward seat
(b) FWD-BOTH/AFT-SELF: when
initiated by fwd seat, aft seat fires
first, then fwd seat fires. When
initiated from aft cockpit, ejects only
the aft seat
NOTE: If ejection is initiated by the
FWD seat, FWD firing circuit is routed
through a 0.5-second delay cartridge.
This serves as a backup to the
0.4-second delay initiator.
(c) SOLO: must have red metal selector
collar and red safety pin on seat light
switch installed
