In a controlled ejection with intercom, what is the command sequence after checks?

• A. Bailout, Bailout, Bailout
• B. Eject, Eject, Eject
• C. Bailout, Abort, Bailout
• D. Eject, Bailout, Bailout

Answer: (A)

In this scenario the emphasis is on using the correct egress terminology and coordinating with the intercom. When you’re conducting a controlled ejection with intercom, you don’t say “eject” as a callout; you issue the bailout command to signal that each crew member should leave the aircraft in an orderly way and to confirm through the intercom that they’re clear. After the checks, the standard sequence is to call bailout three times, which ensures all crewmembers are aware, have acknowledged, and are proceeding with the egress. Using anything else would either start the actual seat mechanism too soon (eject), halt the process (abort), or mix terms that could cause confusion.
