ABSTRACT:
A crew systems module for providing normal ingress to and egress from an aircraft cockpit flight station includes a seat assembly for supporting a crew member and a shell which supports the seat assembly and is pivotally attached to the aircraft adjacent the cockpit. The shell is pivotal from a closed position placing the crew member in a flight-ready position to an ingress/egress position placing the crew member in a generally standing position. The shell in the ingress/egress position extends downward from the cockpit toward the ground. The shell preferably extends downward through the aircraft's wheel well which houses a folding or collapsible landing gear during flight. The crew systems module may be incorporated in a capsule which is separable from the aircraft in an emergency.
