What is the altitude for uncontrolled ejection decision?

The decision altitude for uncontrolled ejection is set at 6,000 feet AGL (Above Ground Level) to ensure that there is enough altitude for safe ejection and subsequent recovery. This altitude provides adequate time for the ejection seat to fully deploy, allowing for the safe separation of the pilot from the aircraft and the proper functioning of the parachute system.

At 6,000 feet, pilots have the best chance of surviving an uncontrolled ejection, as this height allows for sufficient altitude to execute recovery procedures once on the ground. Choosing a higher altitude supports better outcomes in terms of parachute deployment and increased time for the pilot to prepare for landing safely.
