ABSTRACT:
A crewmember (12) is positioned within an ejection seat or other escape device (10). The escape device (10) is ejected from the aircraft or other flying vehicle when it is desired to effect an escape. At the start of ejection, the altitude, sink rate and roll angle of the escape device (10) are determined, by appropriate sensors (128, 132). A microprocessor (66) is used for dividing the altitude by the sink rate to obtain a first time value. The microprocessor (66) is used to divide the roll angle by a desired rate of roll angle correction, to obtain a second time value. The second time value is subtracted from the first time value to obtain a third time value, t.sub.c. In response to t.sub.c being larger than a predetermined value, the microprocessor (66) controls separation to subject the crewmember (12) to a relatively low injury risk level. In response to t.sub.c being smaller than said predetermined time value, the microprocessor (66) controls separation to occur faster, attended by the crewmember (12) being subjected to a higher injury risk level.
