SY210 Flashcards
(25 cards)
What is the purpose of the leg restraint system?
Prevent the feet from flailing during ejection
True or false. The emergency oxygen cylinder is considered charged if the pointer is at 1500 psi or above?
False. It is considered adequately charged if the needle is anywhere in the black band (1800 - 2500 psi)
During ejection, for how long is emergency oxygen provided?
For about 10 minutes or until seat-pilot separation
During ejection, what happens in the event the canopy fracturing system (CFS) fails?
The canopy breaker will penetrate the canopy transparency as the seat moves up the rails.
When flying dual, what ISS mode selector setting will allow either crew ember to initiate ejection of both seats?
BOTH
During the ejection process, movement of the seat is first initiated by what?
Detonated gas pressure
What are the three factors affecting the effectiveness of the ejection system?
Dive angle, bank angle, and sink rate
Why is it a good practice to eject from the aircraft in a level flight attitude?
Ensure little or no sink rate
What happens during simultaneous ejections (ISS mode selector is set to BOTH)?
The rear seat will eject first (front seat delayed by 0.37 seconds)
What happens if the ADU Mode Selector Switch is set to AUTO?
The SSK will deploy 4.0 seconds after seat-pilot separation.
The T-6A ejection seat is designed to provide rapid ejection capability at zero altitude and zero speed up to what altitude and speed?
35,000 ft; 370 knots
Where should the ejection seat leg restraint garters be attached?
Just above the boots
How do you attach the SSK?
By attaching the SSK V-rings on the torso harness to the seat buckles
The PIRD performs which of the following functions?
Retracts the shoulder harness straps during ejection
Where are the parachute and chute harness assembly located?
In the headbox
What happens if the ADU Mode Selector Switch is set to AUTO?
The SSK is lowered 4.0 seconds after seat-pilot separation
The ejection seat emergency oxygen system provides how many minutes of oxygen?
10 minutes
How is inadvertent activation of the ejection system achieved while the aircraft is on the ground?
Each seat should be secured with a safety pin that has a red streamer
How is the T-6A ejection seat propelled?
Detonated gas pressure and rocket motor
Prior to ejection, it is desirable to do what?
Climb to trade airspeed for altitude
What is the purpose of the drogue chute?
Helps to stabilize and decelerate the seat
What are the recommended minimum altitudes for controlled and uncontrolled ejection, according to the Flight
Manual?
2000 ft controlled; 6000 ft uncontrolled
Tubing from the emergency oxygen cylinder runs from the cylinder across the back of the seat bucket to the right side, and then connects to what?
The pilot’s CRU-60/P
Why is proper seat adjustment during ejection is a safety issue?
Adjusting the seat so your helmet is higher than the canopy breaker can have lethal results
