acceptor assemblies initiate shielded mild detonating cords attached to the
initiation manifolds, which detonate the CFS explosive cords.
Motion of the ejection seat automatically initiates the CFS system through a dual
laser initiator connected to the seat by the CFS attach bolt, located on the right seat
rail in each cockpit, which precisely times the detonation with the passage of the
seat.
This ensures that seat passage occurs during the outward movement of the
transparency parts, providing a clear escape path. In the event of canopy fracturing
system failure, each seat is fitted with a canopy breaker to fracture the
transparency.
WARNING
A safety pin is provided for the internal canopy fracturing initiators located in
each cockpit console. This pin shall be removed and stowed before flight and
re-installed after flight. A stowage box is provided beside the rear ejection
seat.
