EMERGENCY RESTRAINT
RELEASE HANDLE
(a) Location: right side of seat bucket
(b) Function
i)
On ground: initiates quick release
of lower torso, and leg restraint
system
WARNING: Never actuate the
emergency restraint release
before ejection. Actuation of
the handle releases the pilot
from the seat and moves the
SAFE/ARMED handle to the
SAFE position, making ejection
initiation by the seat occupant
impossible. Further, if ejection
is then initiated by the other
cockpit, both seats will be
ejected with probable fatal
results.
ii)
In air: initiates manual separation
of man/seat and fires parachute
