Introduction; Airspeeds For Emergency Operation - Cessna 172R Pilot Operating Handbook

INTRODUCTION
Section 3 provides checklist and amplified procedures for coping
with emergencies that may occur. Emergencies caused by airplane
or engine malfunctions are extremely
rare if proper preflight
inspections
and
maintenance are
practiced. Enroute weather
emergencies can be minimized or eliminated by careful
flight
planning
and good
judgment when
unexpected
weather
is
encountered. However, should an emergency arise, the basic
guidelines described
in
this section should be considered and
applied as necessary to correct the problem. Emergency procedures
associated with standard avionics, the ELT, or any optional systems
can be found in Section 9.
