Take Appropriate Action — In most situations, the procedures listed
in this section will either correct the aircraft problem or allow safe
recovery of the aircraft. Follow them and use good pilot judgment.
In an in-flight emergency, pressing and holding the COM
transfer button for 2 seconds will tune the emergency
frequency of 121.500 MHz. If the display is available, it will
also show it in the "Active" frequency window.
The Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) should be activated in
the event of a life-threatening emergency where CAPS deployment is
determined to be safer than continued flight and landing. Refer to
Section 10, Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS)
deployment information and landing considerations.
Land as soon as Conditions Permit — Once you have handled the
emergency, assess your next move. Handle any non-critical "clean-up"
items in the checklist and put the aircraft on the ground. Remember,
even if the airplane appears to be in sound condition, it may not be.

Circuit Breakers

Many procedures involve manipulating circuit breakers. The following
criteria should be followed during "Circuit Breaker" steps:
• Circuit breakers that are "SET" should be checked for normal
condition. If the circuit breaker is not "Set", it may be reset only
once. If the circuit breaker opens again, do not reset.
• Circuit breakers that "PULL" should only be pulled and not reset.
• Circuit breakers that "CYCLE" should be pulled, delayed for
several seconds, and reset only once. Allow sufficient cooling
time for circuit breakers that are reset through a "CYCLE"
procedure.

Memory Items

Checklist steps emphasized by underlining such as the example
below, should be memorized for accomplishment without reference to
the procedure.
