OTHER EMERGENCIES

WINDSHIELD DAMAGE

If a bird strike or other incident should damage the windshield in flight to
the point of creating an opening, a significant loss in performance may
be expected. Decrease airspeed and set power as necessary to
maintain best glide speed (70 KIAS) to minimize stress on windshield
and airframe structure. If airplane performance or other adverse
conditions prevent landing at an airport, prepare for an off airport
landing in accordance with the PRECAUTIONARY LANDING WITH
ENGINE POWER or DITCHING checklists.

G300 FAILURES

The Garmin G300 system provides all flight and engine instrument
information via the Air Data Attitude and Heading Reference System
(ADAHRS) unit. Individual sensors within the ADAHRS unit provide air
and flight data information as well as serve as the central gateway for
the engine data displayed on the Primary Flight Display (PFD) and
optional Multi-Function Display (MFD).
Failure of the ADAHRS unit or the individual sensors may leave only
GPS derived flight data for situational awareness and navigation. The
pilot should be thoroughly familiar with the G300 operation, page and
information location, and methods of accessing the GPS flight data
before beginning any flight in the Model 162 Skycatcher. It is
recommended that the pilot step through each of the G300 emergency
procedures in the Emergency Procedures Checklist for familiarization
before operating the aircraft.
Failure of the G300 PFD display will cause an automatic reversion of
the PFD display to the MFD display (if installed). Failure of the PFD
without an installed MFD display will leave the pilot to rely largely on
external cues for pilotage and navigation. The Emergency Procedures
Checklist contains suggestions for managing a successful PFD failure
and landing. It is recommended that the pilot become familiar with this
checklist before operating the airplane.
