How ejecting works on 2 or more seater planes?

All two seat F-15's have the same ejection system. There are 3 modes: NORMAL (both have to pull their handles), AFT INITIATE (back can punch the front), and SOLO (captain obvious here).

I was thinking the same thing. It's a blast from the past (the 90s in that case). :D

Still interesting info. :)

The Pilatus PC-21 has a thing called "interseat sequencing system" there is a three position switch: solo, both and rear

Solo-solo flights...

Rear-front seat pulling, rear seat doesn't fire (used for "passengers" like higher army staff, we don't have generals =), visitors and other untrained people)

Rear seat pulls the handle-both eject

Both- no matter who pulls the handle both get ejected-used with for pilot trainees/normal flights

 

Rear seat fires with 0.17 sec delay, front seat 0.54 sec delay, always the same

 

Seats: Martin-Baker zero-zero seats

The front cockpit canopy has an explosive wire just like the BAe Hawk

And the seats have a yellow mark which shows up when the seat isn't latched correctly, this is an important point which we had to check after/before every flight

In our air force the ground crew is doing every inspection pre/post flight and then the aircraft is handed over to the pilot
