That is why all pilots love Martin Baker the standard by which ejection seats are measured.
F-16, perhaps as it is inherently unstable, but not the F-15 or F-18.
Loss of power does not cause an issue, per se, it is the loss of hydraulic power, as the flight controls are hydraulically actuated. Lose an engine, windmilling keeps some hydraulic pressure and ensures some flight control.
Just to be clear.
