Thank you for this great tutorial, jimmymcgoochie! I did manage to land once, on an approach at 90 degrees perpendicular to the runway (just like they taught in Kerbal Flight School).

Thanks for confirming that EVA is the way to do it. I'll bet you're right, I'm just hitting an early career mode restriction. I'll upgrade my astronaut complex and try again.

Thank you, adsii1970. So, to confirm, I do need to upgrade the Astronaut Complex first? Seems like it won't let me EVA in midair otherwise.

Hi, noob question, just started KSP as of 1.11, PC, no mods. Early in career mode. I've been playing around with planes -- finally managed to take off! Now I'd like my kerbonaut to be able to bail out of the plane and use his personal parachute (rather than landing the plane, which is haaaaard). But although my kerbal is a pilot, and has a chute, I can't figure out how to bail out. The EVA button seemed sensible, but it won't let me EVA in the air without upgrading the astronaut complex. Do I really have to upgrade the complex to jump out of a plane? Or am I missing a bail out button? Thanks!!
