A4D ESCAPE SYSTEM, EVALUATION OF MODIFIED HEADREST INSTALLED BY A4D AIRCRAFT SERVICE CHANGE NO. 157C FOR ACCEPTABLE HEAD POSITIONING
Abstract
The Service Test Division conducted an evaluation of a modified headrest configuration (A4D ASC 157C) for the RAPEC low level ejection system to determine if the headrest configuration afforded acceptable pilot head positioning during catapult launches. The modified headrest configuration was considered satisfactory for service use; however, incorporation of firmer headrest material is considered desirable for improved service use. (Author)
