That's because the eject function for helicopters is disabled right now, due to the lack of parachutes in the game.

It will be possible to do it as soon as they "unlock" this feature

You can eject from a helicopter even if it is not on ground. At least when hovering (hovering still, that is) low, you are able to eject from the cargo. Although I've noticed that the AI still won't comply if you order them to disembark.

@Jukk
Isn't that trought the "Get Out" action ?
If so that's not really an eject :P

@Kid18120
You're right about that they removed in-flight ejecting but I think it was still labeled as eject when I tried it on a low hovering helo.

But yeah, you can't really do parachute jumps or anything for now.

EDIT: By low hovering I mean about one or two meters above the surface of the water.

If you really want to eject of the hélicopter right now there is a mod on armaholic who let you jump. But there isn't any parachute so install this an use it at your own risk

Agreed, divers need to be able to jump from a helo
