Ans. Full five point harness on below 10,000'. Above 10,000' minimum lap belt. Shoulder harness would be fitted when required in turbulence.

Question - Some years ago a pilot, I think the Captain of a BAC111, was sucked out of the cockpit window after it blew out airborne. The pilot was grabbed by the ankles by a flight attendant who just happened to be in the right place at the right time.

Can any one advise if the pilot was wearing a seat belt? If so, did the belt fail or was the pilot sucked out of the belt, so to speak?
