Someone in the aircraft goes "Ohhh" then "Oh sh*t", as the bird is injested and obviously the engine fails...
First off, the officer flying converts speed to height which is standard practice. The pilot then gives a heads up to the other crewman to prepare to abandon the aircraft, in effect saying, this is serious my boy! The horn, I think is the RATS system or Ram Air Turbine System that can be used to re-start an aircraft in flight. I'm willing to be corrected, I'm not a jet pilot.
The senior pilot states that he will fly the plane and the junior is to attempt a re-light. The flying pilot is, I think, attempting to return to the field. After pulling through the horizontal he then completes a nice flat turn, but of course he's bleeding airspeed all the time as he does this. The
nose has to go down to maintain flying speed and control. Then it's basically all over rover.
The junior pilot is starting to sweat, "Jeepers!" is what he says, I think. "Are you cool, are you ready to go?"....Then real calm, from the back seat "??....(to the tower)....we're to the north we're ejecting we have an engine failure"...By now the other pilot is really sucking in oxygen. Then he gives another heads' up, "prepare to abondon the aircraft" . A big ups to the pilot flying as the number one thing is to maintain control of the ship. The re-start is either going to happen or it isn't so an aircraft that still has flying speed is essential and the eject was made in pretty good time.
The order to abandon the aircraft is "eject, eject, eject". If I had been flying it my student would only have heard it once though....
