Ejection criteria/envelopes
1.
You must use the ejection seat to escape from the
aircraft in flight. If the canopy fails to detonate, the
seat will eject through the canopy. Analysis of
ejections using Navy common aircrew ejection seat
(NACES) show:
a.
Optimum airspeed for ejection is 250 KIAS or
less.
b.
Appreciable forces are exerted on the body
when ejection is performed at airspeeds of 250
to 600 KIAS rendering escape more hazardous.
c.
Above 600 KIAS, excessive forces are exerted
on the body making ejection extremely
hazardous.
2.
When circumstances permit, slow the aircraft prior to
ejection to reduce the forces on your body.
3.
With wings level and no sink rate, ejection is feasible
within the following parameters
a.
Ground level, zero airspeed
b.
Ground to 60,000 ft, 600 KIAS maximum
4.
Ejection at low altitude allows a matter of seconds to
prepare for landing. Over water, inflation of the LPU
is the most important step to be accomplished. The
second most important step is the release of the
parachute quick-release fittings after entering the
water if the SEAWARS Koch fittings fail to operate.
