So... What do you suppose the chance is you would have hit the tail fin?
Less than the chance of the original emergency killing you!
That’s what the full trim is for. It makes the aircraft pitch away once you let go of the stick.
Imagine letting the nose fully roll over and having to time the ejection at max inertia... or you are doing a Dr. Strangeglove meets True Lies. So delightful.
5. Swear or pray (or both!)
What about seatbelts?
Crap, you're right. We'd better revise the manual.
Depends on whether your parachute is integral to the seat or you’re wearing a pack. If the chute is in the seat, I would highly recommend staying harnessed to it.
1. Roll inverted.
2. Trim full nose down. (Down = skyward at this point.)
3. Blow canopy.
4. Fall out.
