cruzlite 0 #3 April 10, 2004 INCREDABLE! I'm not sure I understand what caused the seat to fire...? 'The canopy release switch on or up'...If he bumped it in negative Gs would this cause the seat to fire? Quote; "Second, the timing release mechanism had fired and released the BN from the seat. The only things keeping him in the plane were the parachute risers holding him against the back of the seat." My understaning... this is to separate (stagger) the pilot & bn's ejections...Is it connected to the canopy release? Or is this a case of the A6 aging? edit to include quote Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
