This will flash somewhere on your instrument panel (or will be shouted at you in dialogue by another character over your com) whenever your jet fighter, Space Fighter, Humongous Mecha, etc. sustains critical damage and is about to crash or come apart on you. Better hope your Ejection Seat is working properly... It is frequently accompanied by a loud alarm, siren, or buzzer. If the character is sufficiently badass, expect them to ignore the ejection as they attempt to finish the mission/task they are currently attempting. Outside of video games, expect to see the trope title used as a stock phrase when the Ace Pilot needs to bail out. Not to be confused with the usual utterance of Soundwave. |

In Battlefield 2 the bots will helpfully tell you to bail out of two place aircraft if they are critically damaged. Even if the damage is survivable. It's definitely not annoying. More straightly, if your vehicle is at very low health, an alarm will sound. Usually it's a good idea to bail out, because your vehicle has probably caught fire and will soon explode. |

In Elite Dangerous, the ship's computer will repeat "Eject" three times as the ship is blowing up from critical damage. In this case, it's informing you that you are being ejected by the automatic escape system. | |

The Venom Patrol Craft pilots in Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars explicitly yell "Eject! Eject! EJECT!" in an increasingly panicked tone as one of their lines upon being shot down. However, it can be rather hard to notice, given that the thing violently explodes at the same time. | |

Titanfall has your Titan's computer say this to you when your Titan takes critical damage or you just decide to eject on your own. In Titanfall2, the voice advises you to either eject or get a battery when heavily damaged, and for an instant while you eject the screen displays often bizarre messages, usually quotes from other works of fiction. | |

Maverick to Goose in Top Gun: "Eject! Eject! Eject!" It's actually military protocol, but expecting your vehicle to tell you when to eject is a bit much. In the sequel Top Gun: Maverick, Maverick is flying with Goose's son, Rooster, in an antiquated F-14 when they also need to eject. Unfortunately the system doesn't work this time. |

Inverted in Code Geass. The Knightmare Frames automatically eject the cockpit block when dealt crippling damage; only time we see bright flashing messages is when the pilot can't eject because of a system malfunction. | |

In Wing Commander, a light labeled "EJECT" will flash accompanied by a siren sound if your ship is damaged so badly that one additional hit would most likely destroy it, prompting you to press Ctrl+E to eject from your ship. May stop flashing when your shields recharge. However, it's not uncommon to be destroyed anyway by a volley of enemy fire which destroys you faster than the EJECT warning can react, taking you from good shape to death almost instantly. And in Wing Commander Prophecy, doing so will get you captured by the new alien threat, leading to a caption informing you of a literal Fate Worse than Death and game over. |

The ejection procedure is shown in quite a bit of detail in the first Behind Enemy Lines film, even showing how the crew's legs are automatically drawn back towards their seats to avoid getting caught on any instrumentation when the rockets fire. This portrayal is deceptively detailed, showing events that happen simultaneously as sequential. Where the ejection sequence in the film takes over 15 seconds per man once the canopy is blown, in reality all of the actions shown occur in only a few seconds. | |

Mechwarrior and MechCommander series feature it often in cinematics: In Mechwarrior Living Legends, battlemechs will flash EJECT warnings on either side of the crosshair when their reactor is shot out. Tanks will plop a "PROCEED TO EMERGENCE ESCAPE HATCHES" and "BAIL OUT" above the crosshair when their engine is damaged, and the Chevalier scout tank will sound off a klaxon when critically damaged. |

Parodied in Superman Returns - Superman saves the crashing jumbo jet after freeing the space shuttle it was carrying, and brings the jet down in the middle of a football stadium. After it has safely touched down, we see the pilots dazed in the cockpit, as the GPWS warns them to "fly up...fly up...fly up..." note Given the situation shown in the film, there would be no fewer than a half-dozen warnings being repeated in a list, as well as a cacophony of warning horns and chimes. | |
