PART IV - EMERGENCY HANDLING
(ii) If the above indications are satisfactory depress the
regulator EMERGENCY switch when in the central
position. A supply of oxygen under increased
pressure indicates that the regulator is serviceable
but that the blinker mechanism is defective. If the
regulator is unserviceable, as indicated by no flow,
use the emergency bottle and descend immediately
to a safe altitude and check all oxygen tube
connections.
(c) Use of emergency bottle
(i) If it is necessary to use the emergency oxygen bottle
through failure of the regulator or because of
exhaustion of the main supply, pull up the emerg-
ency control on the right of the seat, and disconnect
the mask tube from the main supply point.
(ii) The main supply tube is automatically released and
the emergency bottle brought into use on ejection.
(iii)The duration of supply from the emergency bottle
is 10 minutes only.

A.L.1 101. Hood jettisoning
Para. 101 Page 97 (a) The hood is jettisoned by pulling the handle on the port
shelf. A strong pull force is required. To ensure a clean
jettison, the hood must be closed and the speed should be
in excess of 140 knots. The aircraft may be flown at speeds
up to 450 knots with the hood jettisoned, but above this
speed suction on the pilot's helmet may be disconcerting.
(b) The hood is also jettisoned when either the ejection seat
AL2 blind or the seat pan alternative handle is pulled, but in
the latter case the GGS is not automatically lowered.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
102. Abandoning the aircraft in flight.
(a) Reduce speed as much as possible, set parachute con-
tainer fully back, and lower the seat fully.
(b) Retract the GGS. If electrical power is available, the
GGS should automatically lower on jettisoning the hood.
The hood is jettisoned immediately the ejection seat blind
