Operational and Ejection Emergency Procedures
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.
e.
Low altitude ejection (below 18,000 ft)
(1) Successful low altitude ejection depends
primarily on the following being within limits
(a) Dive angle
(b) Sink rate
(c) Angle of bank
(d) Airspeed
(e) Altitude
(2) Ejection on takeoff or in landing pattern
(a) Keep right hand on stick to maintain
proper attitude
(b) Pull ejection handle while maintaining
proper body position
(3) Convert any excess airspeed to a climb to
slow aircraft and improve ejection seat
trajectory
NOTE: The additional altitude increases
the time available for seat separation and
parachute deployment.
