Survival Kit

The survival kit is stowed under the seat pan lid. The

KIT DEPLOYMENT switch has a manual (aft) or

automatic (forward) position which selects the mode

of postejection survival kit  deployment. Pulling the

kit ripcord handle deploys the kit which remains

attached by a 25foot lanyard.

RADIO BEACON Switch

The RADIO BEACON switch allows the pilot to select

AUTO or MAN. In AUTO (red dot visible), the beacon

activates after pilot/seat separation. In MAN (green

dot visible), the beacon does not activate. The beacon

may be activated when on the ground if the RADIO

BEACON switch is placed to AUTO or it can be

removed and manually operated as desired. The

beacon transmits on 243.0 MHz.

Emergency Oxygen

Emergency oxygen supply is automatically activated

during ejection or may be manually activated by

pulling the emergency oxygen green ring.

EJECTION SEAT OPERATION

Seat ejection is initiated by pulling the ejection

handle (PULL TO EJECT). This action retracts the

shoulder harness straps and locks the inertia reel,

fires the initiators for canopy jettison, and ignites two

canopy removal rockets. As the canopy leaves the

aircraft, lanyards fire two seat ejection initiators.

A rocket catapult propels the seat from the cockpit

exposing the seat environmental sensor pitots and

activating the emergency oxygen. The recovery

sequencer selects the correct ejection mode, ignites

the stabilization package (STAPAC) rocket and the

trajectory divergence rocket, and (if in mode 2 or 3)

initiates the drogue gun.

If the automatic pilot/seat separation and recovery

parachute deployment system fails, pulling the

EMERGENCY MANUAL CHUTE handle approxi

mately 6 inches ballistically deploys the recovery

parachute assembly and releases the lapbelt and

inertia reel straps and unlatches the seat pan lid.

The liferaft, survival kit, and radio beacon antenna

are deployed following pilot/seat separation when the

survival KIT DEPLOYMENT switch is in AUTO. If

the parachute is equipped with SEAWARS, the

parachute risers are automatically released within 2

seconds after entering saltwater.

Seat ejection also automatically performs an escape

OXYGEN SYSTEM 

PX III

The oxygen system consists of an onboard oxygen

generating system (OBOGS), a backup oxygen supply

(BOS), and a regulated 50 cubic inch emergency

oxygen supply (EOS) bottle.

ONBOARD OXYGEN GENERATING SYSTEM 

(OBOGS)

The OBOGS is a molecular sieve/concentrator that

uses an adsorption filtering process to remove

nitrogen from the ECS supplied bleed air and provide

oxygen rich breathing gas. The system is capable of

producing 95 percent oxygen with the balance being

argon and other inert gases. For normal operation the

concentrator provides oxygen to a compatible diluter

demand breathing regulator. The system pressure to

the regulator can be read on a pressure gage located

on the face of the regulator. The normal operating

pressure range is 2540 psi.

OBOGS BACKUP OXYGEN SUPPLY (BOS)

If the OBOGS is not producing oxygen due to loss of

ECS input air to the concentrator, concentrator

failure, or loss of power to the concentrator, the

system will revert to stored oxygen in the sieve filled

plenum, called the backup oxygen supply (BOS). The

BOS will last for a period of 3 to 5 minutes depending

on altitude and breathing rate. Resupplying a

depleted BOS requires up to 10 minutes. After the

BOS has been expended and system pressure falls

below 5 psi, the OXY LOW warning light, located on

the right glare shield, illuminates.

OBOGS MONITOR

The OBOGS is monitored by an oxygen monitor with

builtintest (BIT) circuitry. The oxygen monitor

samples oxygen for the correct oxygen concentration

at a particular altitude from 10,000 to 50,000 feet.

The OBOGS monitor provides a signal to turn on the

OXY LOW warning light if the partial pressure of

oxygen (PPO

2

) from the concentrator drops below a

preset alarm range or if BIT detects an internal

monitor fault. The monitor provides low oxygen

partial pressure warning at either of two thresholds

based on the position of the diluter lever located on

the regulator. Low PPO

can be caused by a

concentrator malfunction or a clogged input filter on

the concentrator.

EMERGENCY OXYGEN SUPPLY (EOS)

The emergency oxygen supply (EOS) consists of a

highpressure bottle mounted on the left side of the

ejection seat. The EOS is a regulated oxygen supply

that will last for 8 to 12 minutes depending on

altitude and breathing rate. The hose is routed to the

right side of the seat. The system is activated:

D

Automatically upon ejection.

D

Manually by pulling the emergency oxygen green

ring located on the left aft side of the seat.

A gauge on the EOS indicates the stored oxygen

pressure.

OBOGS BUILTINTESTS (BIT's)

The OBOGS monitor has four BIT programs:

powerup BIT, periodic BIT, manual BIT, and

pneumatic BIT. All BIT programs are for testing the

monitor's circuitry only.

OBOGS PowerUp BIT

Powerup BIT is performed automatically upon

powerup during engine start. The powerup BIT

includes a two minute warmup period during which

the OXY LOW warning light is inhibited. The OXY

LOW warning light illuminates at the end of the

powerup BIT if a monitor failure is detected.

OBOGS Periodic BIT

Periodic BIT is performed automatically during

normal operations. If a monitor fault is detected, the

OXY LOW warning light will illuminate.

OBOGS Manual BIT

Manual BIT is activated by momentarily positioning

the OBOGS BIT switch, located on the TEST panel,

to BIT. This can be accomplished to perform a monitor

check or to determine the cause of an OXY LOW

warning light.

Selecting BIT causes the OXY LOW warning light to

illuminate for ten seconds. If no faults are detected,

the warning light will go off. If a monitor fault is

detected, the OXY LOW warning light will remain on

with a continuous indication as long as the fault

condition exists.

T.O. GR1F16CJ1

1174

If the OBOGS BIT switch is positioned to BIT while

the OXY LOW warning light is on, the warning light

will remain on steady if the problem is due to a low

PPO

condition or low regulator pressure. It will flash

one second on and one second off if a monitor fault was

detected. If a monitor fault exists, subsequent

positioning of the OBOGS BIT switch to BIT will

toggle the warning light from flashing to continuous.

OBOGS Pneumatic BIT

Pneumatic bit is a maintenance function.

PRESSURE BREATHING FOR G (PBG)

The PBG mode of the oxygen regulator provides

pressure breathing above 4g's to enhance g tolerance

and reduce fatigue. Air pressure from the antig valve

is used by the oxygen regulator to control the amount

of pressurization supplied to the oxygen mask,

helmet, and vest. A malfunction in the OBOGS

system can result in a degradation in PBG system

performance.

OXYGEN SYSTEM 

PX II

The oxygen system consists of a liquid system and an

emergency gaseous system.

LIQUID OXYGEN SYSTEM

A 5liter liquid oxygen system provides breathing

oxygen to a diluter demand oxygen regulator. The

regulator provides for selection of normal diluted

oxygen and 100 percent oxygen and selection of PBG.

Quickdisconnects are used to expedite egressing the

aircraft on the ground. Oxygen duration varies

depending upon altitude, regulator settings, and

usage.

Pressure Breathing for G (PBG)

The PBG mode of the oxygen regulator provides

pressure breathing above 4g's to enhance g tolerance

and reduce pilot fatigue. ECS air used to inflate the

gsuit is also used by the oxygen regulator to control

the amount of pressurization supplied to the oxygen

mask, helmet, and vest.

Oxygen System Controls and Indicators

Refer to figure 171 for description of the oxygen

system controls and indicators.

Oxygen Duration

Refer to figure 172.

EMERGENCY OXYGEN SYSTEM

The emergency oxygen system consists of a high

pressure bottle with a flow controller mounted on the

left side of the ejection seat. The hose is routed to the

right side of the seat. The system is activated:

D

Automatically upon ejection.

D

Manually by pulling the emergency oxygen green
