Longer Ron - we have asked for information as to why the seat failed to operate AFTER it left the aircraft - we've been told that the info is not cleared for release!! I am supposed to be flying an air test on an aircraft thats been sitting on the ground for 11 months tomorrow - I want to know whats going on but its very difficult to get the required reassurance.
I'm actually with Longer Ron on this one. If you actually fly airtests on Live Seats, then your tech knowledge, with the MPD can give you the answer to your initial question.
I flew a seat, albeit not Mk10, yesterday. MPD was received PM of the 17th, and actioned that evening. Although it required the MB Tech Leaflet, the essence of what is says is in the MPD. I am sure your organisation has access to that Tech Leaflet.
