Pilots use ejection systems in emergency situations where remaining in the aircraft becomes unsafe. These systems are designed to rapidly propel the pilot out of the aircraft and to safety, typically in the event of mechanical failure, fire, or when the aircraft is in imminent danger of crashing. The ejection process is initiated by the pilot pulling a handle or activating a mechanism, which triggers explosive charges that blast off the canopy or hatch, and then launch the pilot upwards and away from the aircraft using powerful rockets. Once ejected, a parachute is deployed to slow the descent and ensure a safe landing, though the success of ejection depends on factors like altitude, speed, and the condition of the aircraft at the time of emergency.
