PART V-EMERGENCY HANDLING

     (d)  Withdraw the feet from the rudder peals and at the
          same time grasp the firing handle. The elbows must be
          drawn in close to the body and both hands must grasp
          the firing handle with the backs of the hands facing
          forward.

     (e)  Draw the handle and face screen firmly over the face
          keeping the head pressed hard against the headrest. It
          is not necessary to jerk the handle and in no circumstances
          should the blind be pulled away from the face as it may
          not then be possible to fire the cartridge.

     (f)  After ejection the drogue gun will fire automatically.

     (g)  If ejection takes place above 10,000 ft. automatic separa-
          tion will not occur until that height is reached. If
          ejection has taken place at or below 10,000 ft. automatic
          separation will take place within three seconds or within
          1¼ seconds if a G stop is fitted and has not operated.
