SECTION 3
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
3.1 GENERAL
The recommended procedures for coping with various types of
emergencies and critical situations are provided by this section. All of
required (FAA regulations) emergency procedures and those necessary for
operation of the airplane as determined by the operating and design features
of the airplane are presented.
Emergency procedures associated with those optional systems and
equipment which require handbook supplements are provided in Section 9
(Supplements). ·
The first portion of this section consists of an abbreviated emergency
check list which supplies an action sequence for critical situations with
little emphasis on the operation of systems.
The remainder of the section is devoted to amplified emergency
procedures containing additional information to provid.e the pilot with a
more complete understanding of the procedures.
These procedures are suggested as a course of action for coping with the
particular condition described. but are not a substitute for sound judgement
and common sense. Pilots should familiarize themselves with the procedures
given in this section and be prepared to take appropriate action should an
emergency arise.
Most basic emergency procedures, such as power off landings, are a
normal part of pilot training. Although these emergencies are discussed
here. this information is not intended to replace such training, but only to
provide a source of reference and review, and to provide information on
procedures which are not the same for all aircraft. It is suggested that the
pilot review standard emergency procedures periodically to remain
proficient in them.
