bailing over the Channel
Prior to my epic first trip to Le2K last week in my Pitts, I was advised by a gent "with sufficient experience to make listening worthwhile", to do the following should the donk no longer want to play:
full nose down trim
roll inverted
slide canopy back
disconnect helmet and undo straps
fall out head first
pull the D handle
all of the above preferably in sight of some of the smaller vessels that trundle up down and across le manche
the inflating of lifejacket and parachute discard were very much - see what works!
