mishap is usually the gov. word for human error....or an ooops moment......but i think only vtol aircraft have an auto eject systemI keep reading that there was a "mishap" and the pilot ejected. There are lots of mishaps that can occur in a plane but typically a pilot will only eject if there is some catastrophic failure which make the plane unable to continue flight. A fighter pilot is not going to eject themselves from a functional aircraft.
