Requirements
Any map with an airfield/carrier

Work in :

-Arcade battle (Plane switch only available in arcade battle or during Enduring Confrontation or EC)
-Realistic battle
-Simulator battle
-Tested in Realistic Ground Force (RBGF) : not working, the game consider you as dead due to the spawn point mechanics
How to
-Land your aircraft

-If you sufered ANY damage wait for the repair to be over and ready for take off (repair also replace/heal any crew member)

-Bail out ( hold J for 3 seconds)

-You now have returned into the loadout menu without loosing you aircraft, you can also switch aircraft without loosing the one you use

-If you airspawn right after repairs, land again, if there is no repair timer appearing, you can bail out (have to test it myself to be sure it work)

-Keep in mind that the airfield you used to switch plane will be its spawn for said plane when you re-use it

So tested RBGF with no succes, game say your dead when bailing out a repaired aircraft on airfield

Didn't tested it but its about your plane speed/condition so as long your at 0km.h/mph should be working

Does this work for carriers? I was thinking that you're technically moving.

Think yes, if its impact to target (something like that)

I am sure you can only change Aircraft in arcade... in realistic it is only aloud for loadout. (rockets, bombs)

Yup, swithed for my Ki 61c to my G5N1 on a match and then back to the ki 61c

If you move at all, like even slightly. It will just make you bail out.
