That seems like a horrible design choice.
Only half true. If the a/c is upside down and at low level the seat won't fire until the a/c is in a safer configuration. But the pilot does have to pull the handle first.
Murphy's Law rules.
Are you sure about that? I have seen disoriented pilots in other a/c eject straight into the ocean from 200ft and inverted.
What other a/c?
