Re: what happens with P51D canopy as pilot bails out?

Hi,

according with the bailout procedure described in the pilots manual above in same thread (link), could it be possible to give an estimation of the delay between the decision of bailout and the jump out of the plane?
Pilot had to:

- lower seat and head and then
- eject canopy
- disconect headset and oxygene
- open seat security belt and shoulders harness, throught it away on the sides
- get with feets on the seat and then
- jump...

can that all take about 5 seconds? or 10 ? 15?

No idea at all...
Thanks for any possible idea...

Mathias
