SY210

Question 1

What is the purpose of the leg restraint system?

Answer 1

Prevent the feet from flailing during ejection

Question 2

True or false. The emergency oxygen cylinder is considered charged if the pointer is at 1500 psi or above?

Answer 2

False. It is considered adequately charged if the needle is anywhere in the black band (1800 - 2500 psi)

Question 3

During ejection, for how long is emergency oxygen provided?

Answer 3

For about 10 minutes or until seat-pilot separation

Question 4

During ejection, what happens in the event the canopy fracturing system (CFS) fails?

Answer 4

The canopy breaker will penetrate the canopy transparency as the seat moves up the rails.

Question 5

When flying dual, what ISS mode selector setting will allow either crew ember to initiate ejection of both seats?

Answer 5

BOTH

Question 6

During the ejection process, movement of the seat is first initiated by what?

Answer 6

Detonated gas pressure

Question 7

What are the three factors affecting the effectiveness of the ejection system?

Answer 7

Dive angle, bank angle, and sink rate

Question 8

Why is it a good practice to eject from the aircraft in a level flight attitude?

Answer 8

Ensure little or no sink rate

Question 9

What happens during simultaneous ejections (ISS mode selector is set to BOTH)?

Answer 9

The rear seat will eject first (front seat delayed by 0.37 seconds)

Question 10

What happens if the ADU Mode Selector Switch is set to AUTO?

Answer 10

The SSK will deploy 4.0 seconds after seat-pilot separation.

Question 11

The T-6A ejection seat is designed to provide rapid ejection capability at zero altitude and zero speed up to what altitude and speed?

Answer 11

35,000 ft; 370 knots

Question 12

Where should the ejection seat leg restraint garters be attached?

Answer 12

Just above the boots

Question 13

How do you attach the SSK?

Answer 13

By attaching the SSK V-rings on the torso harness to the seat buckles

Question 14

The PIRD performs which of the following functions?

Answer 14

Retracts the shoulder harness straps during ejection

Question 15

Where are the parachute and chute harness assembly located?

Answer 15

In the headbox

Question 16

What happens if the ADU Mode Selector Switch is set to AUTO?

Answer 16

The SSK is lowered 4.0 seconds after seat-pilot separation

Question 17

The ejection seat emergency oxygen system provides how many minutes of oxygen?

Answer 17

10 minutes

Question 18

How is inadvertent activation of the ejection system achieved while the aircraft is on the ground?

Answer 18

Each seat should be secured with a safety pin that has a red streamer

Question 19

How is the T-6A ejection seat propelled?

Answer 19

Detonated gas pressure and rocket motor

Question 20

Prior to ejection, it is desirable to do what?

Answer 20

Climb to trade airspeed for altitude

Question 21

What is the purpose of the drogue chute?

Answer 21

Helps to stabilize and decelerate the seat

Question 22

What are the recommended minimum altitudes for controlled and uncontrolled ejection, according to the Flight
Manual?

Answer 22

2000 ft controlled; 6000 ft uncontrolled

Question 23

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?

Answer 23

The pilot’s CRU-60/P

Question 24

Why is proper seat adjustment during ejection is a safety issue?

Answer 24

Adjusting the seat so your helmet is higher than the canopy breaker can have lethal results

Question 25

When would the pilot use the MOR handle to separate from the seat?

Answer 25

over mountainous terrain above 8000 feet MSL

If the automatic system fails

If seat/pilot separation is desired above 14.000 feet MSL
