Here are the six things I was telling you about:
My point was that there is really one step. If you are going by the POH, there are actually 14:
1. Airspeed.......................................................MINIMUM POSSIBLE
The maximum demonstrated deployment speed is 135 KIAS.
Reducing airspeed allows minimum parachute loads and prevents
structural overload and possible parachute failure.
2. Mixture (If time and altitude permit) ..................................CUTOFF
Generally, a distressed airplane will be safer for its occupants if
the engine is not running.
3. Activation Handle Cover...................................................REMOVE
The cover has a handle located at the forward edge. Pull cover
down to expose activation T-handle.
4. Activation Handle (Both Hands).............PULL STRAIGHT DOWN
Pull the activation T-handle from its holder. Clasp both hands
around the handle and pull straight down in a strong, steady, and
continuous motion. Maintain maximum pull force until the rocket
activates. Pull forces up to, or exceeding, 45 pounds may be
required. Bending of the handle-housing mount is to be expected.
• WARNING •
Jerking or rapidly pulling the activation T-handle will greatly
increase the pull forces required to activate the rocket. Use a
firm and steady pulling motion – a “chin-up” type pull
enhances successful activation.
After Deployment:
5. Mixture ...............................................................CHECK, CUTOFF
6. Fuel Selector............................................................................OFF
Shutting off fuel supply to engine will reduce the chances of fire
resulting from impact at touchdown.
7. Bat-Alt Master Switches...........................................................OFF
8. Ignition Switch..........................................................................OFF
9. Fuel Pump ...............................................................................OFF
10. ELT.............................................................................................ON
11. Seat Belts and Harnesses .............................................. TIGHTEN
All occupants must have seat belts and shoulder harness securely
fastened.
12. Loose Items .....................................................................SECURE
If time permits, all loose items should be secured to prevent injury
from flying objects in the cabin at touchdown.
13. Assume emergency landing body position.
The emergency landing body position is assumed by placing both
hands on the lap, clasping one wrist with the opposite hand, and
holding the upper torso erect and against the seat backs.
14. After the airplane comes to a complete stop, evacuate quickly and
move upwind.
As occupants exit the airplane, the reduced weight may allow
winds to drag the airplane further. As a result of landing impact,
the doors may jam. If the doors cannot be opened, break out the
windows with the egress hammer, located in the console between
the front seats, and crawl through the opening.
