Pilot Error, Ejection Seat Problems Caused Fatal F-16 Crash

2020/11/09

Schmitz ejected from the fighter after missing the cable, but his parachute never deployed.
He died after hitting the ground while still in the seat, according to the release.

"Based on the airspeed and altitude of the ejection, the mishap seat should have initiated a Mode 1 ejection,” the report said.
"As the seat exits the aircraft, the Digital Recovery Sequencer is activated, which is responsible for providing seat stabilization, pilot/seat separation, and parachute deployment. For a Mode 1 ejection, the seat's drogue chute is not used, expediting the deployment and inflation of the personnel parachute.”

However, there was a "critical failure” when the seat left the aircraft, and six of seven "pyrotechnic devices” that should have activated did not.
