Post Ejection Seats In Uk Civil Aircraft
Hi all,

Could anyone tell me the policy on the use of ejection seats in UK registered aircraft? I saw a Jet Provost the other day and the pilot said it didnt have ejection seats fitted, just parachutes.. Surely, this goes against all the principles of getting out pronto in the event of an emergency? Do the CAA let it happen? What training is involved for ejection seats?
