Yep, but the plane sometimes can go quite some distance before hitting the ground. I remember the time when a pilot got in a PIO (pilot induced oscillation) situation where the jet becomes uncontrollable. When he punched out the jet stabilized and flew for many miles.
Ejection seats transmit a signal when a pilot bangs out, the time and co ordinates will be known exactly
