Is that not what the pilot did anyway? Or is a "controlled ejection" different from what they did?
- the_real_cher 1y agoI had the exact same thought.
- fabian2k 1y agoThe article mentioned that the aircraft become uncontrollable once it thought it was on the ground and switched control modes. And then the pilot ejected. I assume a controlled ejection would have been during controlled flight at a time and location specifically chosen. This ejection was necessary because the plane was uncontrollable in the end.
- voidUpdate 1y agoAh, I see, ejection in a controlled situation instead of "oh no, time to go now"
- lentil_soup 1y agoIf I understood correctly, the ejection came after the second touch and go made the plane go into landed mode which made it impossible to fly anymore
