Well, you do have to admit that there will be low cabin pressure after an ejection, so ... err ... I guess there is (some) method to the madness ? 1

Just to be clear I'm not a fixed wing pilot and definitely not a fast mover pilot but I am a helicopter pilot and I do fly a French built helicopter which most of the buttons and warnings are labeled in French and some in English . Every aircraft we fly we have to get type rated on which we are trained and tested on both theory and practical on all systems as well as emergency procedures applicable to that aircraft because they all have their differences, I'm sure that is the same as fixed wing especially military jets. Basically amber warning light divert immediately and land as soon as practically possible and red light just put it down now because it's all bad and prepare for the worst. In regards to the P.CAB light, I can see ejecting on the ground with an insurecure cockpit could disrupt how the canopy is ejected and could result in injuries or a fatality. As for cabin altitude exceeds 30,000ft, a cabin that loses pressure or doesn't hold pressure is classed as an emergency as the pilot is at risk of suffering symptoms associated with the 'bends' (release of nitrogen in the bloodstream) for example, rapid rate of climb in unpressurised aircraft to altitudes in excess of FL180 or continued flight in aircraft at altitude following failure of aircraft pressurisation system or the favorite hypoxia. I can hear now the yells of but the pilot has a mask which is true, but there are always redundancies for all systems in all aircraft but manufactures will always have a 100% solution to save the pilot and aircraft as there are so many different unforeseen scenarios that can be thought of and common sense isn't that common. The warming in my observations has two reactions applicable, don't eject on the ground with an insurecure cockpit and secure cockpit now. Depressurised aircraft at altitude rapid decent required now!!!

QuiGon Posted August 8, 2022 Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) My favorite part of the manual: Edited August 8, 2022 by QuiGon 4 Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
BuzzLine Posted August 8, 2022 Posted August 8, 2022 The writing style of combat manuals has not changed much over the centuries, it seems. "Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. " 5 1
Hiob Posted August 8, 2022 Posted August 8, 2022 (edited) @QuiGon @BuzzLine Golden! That fits perfectly! Thank you for the best laugh of the day so far! Edited August 8, 2022 by Hiob 4 "Muß ich denn jedes Mal, wenn ich sauge oder saugblase den Schlauchstecker in die Schlauchnut schieben?"
