ABSTRACT:
The invention is a system for ingressing and egressing a crew member from the flight station of an aircraft. A passageway is provided having a first end coupled to the flight station and a second end terminating at the underside of the aircraft. A crew seat assembly is movably mounted in the aircraft, movable from a first position within the flight station, for example, at the pilot's controls in a single-seater fighter aircraft, to a second position located such that the crew member can gain access to the crew seat assembly from the ground. This second position is typically at least partially out of the aircraft and, preferably, completely out. A positioning mechanism is mounted within the aircraft for moving the crew seat assembly from the first position to the second position. A door is provided at the second end of the passageway for sealing off the passageway from the exterior of the aircraft.
