A method is disclosed herein. The method includes receiving, by a processor, an ejection command for ejecting an ejection seat from an aircraft; determining, by the processor, an airspeed and an altitude of the ejection seat; responsive to the altitude of the ejection seat indicating a second mode of operation, determining, by the processor, whether the airspeed of the ejection seat is at or above a first threshold and below a second threshold; and responsive to the airspeed of the ejection seat being at or above the first threshold and below the second threshold: sending, by the processor, a command to deploy a drogue parachute; and, responsive to a first predetermined time period expiring, sending, by the processor, a command to deploy a main parachute and sever the drogue parachute based on a variable drogue severance delay.
