What happens when the CFS handle is operated in the rear cockpit?

When the CFS (Canopy Fracture System) handle is operated in the rear cockpit of the T-6 aircraft, the correct outcome is that the rear transparency only fractures. This system is designed to allow for emergency egress while ensuring that the front canopy remains intact, which is particularly critical in maintaining structural integrity and providing protection for the front-seat occupant.

The CFS operates specifically to fracture the rear canopy to facilitate the safe evacuation of the rear seat crew without affecting the other parts of the canopy system. This controlled fracturing minimizes the risk of injury and ensures that the front cockpit remains closed, which can add a layer of safety in certain emergency situations.

The other options, such as the front canopy being released, the entire canopy opening, or the cockpit ejecting, do not accurately reflect the functionality of the CFS in this specific context. The CFS is focused strictly on the rear transparency, and its operation does not lead to actions that would affect the front cockpit or involve a full canopy opening.
