Emergency pilot saver (7,4)

I believe the answer is:

ejector seat

(Other definitions for ejector seat that I've seen before include "Warplane escape mechanism" , "Device for a pilot who wants to depart quickly!" , "Aircraft safety device" , "Emergency escape mechanism" , "Means of a quick exit from a plane" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
