SECTION 3
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
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
the safe 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 by 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 provide the pilot with a more complete understanding of the procedures.
These procedures are suggested as the best course of action for coping with the particular condition
described. but are not a substitute for sound judgment and common sense. Since emergencies rarely happen
in modern aircraft. their occurrrence is usually unexpected and the best corrective action may not always
be obvious. 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.
