Take Appropriate Action

In many situations, the procedures listed in this section will either correct
or mitigate 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"
The Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) should be activated in the
event of a life-threatening emergency where CAPS deployment is deter-
mined to be safer than continued flight and landing.
Refer to Section 10,
CAPS deployment information and landing considerations.

Land as Soon as Conditions Permit

Once you have evaluated and responded to the emergency, assess your next
move. Perform any non-critical "clean-up" items in the checklist and land
as soon as practicable. Even if the airplane appears to be in sound condi-
tion, it may not be.
Refer to

Circuit Breakers

Some procedures involve manipulating circuit breakers (CBs). The
following criteria should be followed during "Circuit Breaker" steps:
• Intentional pulling of circuit breakers during flight, other than as
required in specific procedures, is prohibited.
• When instructed to "SET", the appropriate circuit breaker 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.
• When instructed to "PULL", the appropriate circuit breaker should
only be pulled and not reset.
• When instructed to "CYCLE", the appropriate circuit breaker should
be pulled, delayed for several seconds, and reset only once. Allow suffi-
cient cooling time for circuit breakers that are reset through a
"CYCLE" procedure.
