PRACTICE EXERCISE 10
Using Figure 17-2, Minimum Safe Ejection Altitudes (sheet 2) in Part V of the NATOPS, compute
the minimum safe ejection altitudes for forward seat ejections given the following sink rates and
airspeeds:
10,000 fpm and 400 KIAS _________ft AGL
2,000 fpm and 250 KIAS ________ft AGL

8,000 fpm and 250 KIAS ________ft AGL
DITCHING AND EMERGENCY EGRESS
Due to the inherent dangers of ditching, the aircraft should be ditched only when ejection has failed--it
should be your last choice.
PRACTICE EXERCISE 11
Before ditching, you should make your radio distress call, squawk ________ on IFF, jettison
________ ________, ________ the landing gear, and lower the flaps/slats ________ down.
PRACTICE EXERCISE 12
If you must ditch in the water, you should fly parallel to the ________ pattern and touch down
along the wave ________.
PRACTICE EXERCISE 13
When the aircraft has stopped after ditching, you should pull the ________ ________ ________ and
release the upper Koch fittings. The lower Koch fittings must be released if you intend to leave the
survival kit in the aircraft.
