Different size pilots and different cockpits lend themselves to various 
ingress techniques (spoken like an engineer).  I know several Hornet 
drivers and most all of them step onto the seat on the way in.  It 
really shouldn't matter.  Just build your seat strong enough to support 
your weight.

Different size pilots and different cockpits lend themselves to various ingress

Sir, 
 
 You are right there is a correct way to climb into a cockpit, I have never
really known any real fighter pilot to stand on a seat as for the chap that
said he flew A4,s or was it F 4;s I am not sure he is telling the truth in
when I was with the RN we do it this way 
 
 1&nbsp;&nbsp; put your bum on the railing 
 2 reach over with your left hand and grab the other side of the cockpit
they are not that big 
 3 place your right hand on same side as you are climbing in 
 4 lift your leg over the panels and slide in watching your nuts do not get
caught on the stick 
 
 then get strapped in simple as that
