This is page 7 of the Alpha Jet Exhibit Showing the MB10 N Fully Automated Ejection Seats and Ejection Seat Operation.

The question is, " How do ejection seats work and what is the ejection process?"   This page covers the ejection seat and ejection process from the Belgian Alpha Jet, even though other ejection (egress) processes work similar, other aircraft may use different ejection processes.

Webmasters Note:  While I was in the Navy I took a High Altitude and Ejection Seat Training for the TA-4 Skyhawk.Look at the times above.  We watched several movies on the ejection seat process, then, the narrator on the film said these photos, which looked at a believable speed, were slowed down, we will now see the ejection sequence at the actual speed.  It was unbelievably fast.  The actual sequence was so fast that it looked like it was a photo off of some stupid movie where the director wasn't paying attention to the speed effects.  The times above explain how fast the pilot actually leaves the aircraft.  Also, not mentioned above, this seat is said to have a Zero, Zero, capability.  The pilot is safe to eject at Zero MPH and Zero Altitude.
