3: E IRRUS ECTION MERGENCY ROCEDURES SF50 ISION NTRODUCTION Preflight Inspections/Maintenance In-flight mechanical problems in the aircraft will be extremely rare if proper preflight inspections and mainte- nance are practiced. Always perform a thorough walk-around inspection before any flight to ensure that no damage occurred during the previous flight or while the airplane was on the ground.
3: E ECTION MERGENCY ROCEDURES IRRUS SF50 NTRODUCTION ISION Analyze the Situation Once you are able to maintain control of the aircraft, assess the situation. Read all warning and caution messages. Evaluate the engine parameters. Consider all aircraft operational information at your disposal.

3A: A IRRUS ECTION BNORMAL ROCEDURES SF50 ISION NTRODUCTION Introduction This section provides procedures for handling abnormal system and/or flight conditions which, if followed, will maintain an acceptable level of airworthiness or reduce operational risk. The guidelines described in this section are to be used when an abnormal condition exists, and should be considered and applied as necessary.
3A: A ECTION BNORMAL ROCEDURES IRRUS SF50 NTRODUCTION ISION Advisories Displayed in white against a black background, Advisory CAS messages arise during situations that require flight crew awareness and that may require subsequent flight crew response. Abnormal Procedures Guidance Although this section provides procedures for handling most abnormal system and/or flight conditions that could arise in the aircraft, it is not a substitute for proper flight training, thorough knowledge of the airplane, and recog-...
3A: A IRRUS ECTION BNORMAL ROCEDURES SF50 ISION NTRODUCTION 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.
3A: A ECTION BNORMAL ROCEDURES IRRUS SF50 NTRODUCTION ISION Locating Circuit Breakers Each circuit breaker panel row and column is labeled for easy reference. Each row is individually labeled A through C (on the Pilot CB panel) and D through F (on the Copilot CB panel).
3A: A IRRUS ECTION BNORMAL ROCEDURES SF50 ISION NTRODUCTION Procedure Division Symbols For procedures requiring pilot decision, conditional steps are indented with a symbol to designate sub-sections within the procedure. On condition, the pilot makes a decision to identify the applicable sub-section. Following the initial decision, a further sub-division of the proce- dure may occur.
3A: A ECTION BNORMAL ROCEDURES IRRUS SF50 NTRODUCTION ISION Landing Guidance Land as soon as practicable Extended flight is not recommended and the pilot should proceed to land the plane, but not necessarily at the first or closest landing location. The landing location and duration of flight remains at the discretion of the pilot in command, after considering all factors related to the safety of the flight.

Cirrus Aircraft strongly recommends that all pilots seek regular recurrent training and that they operate in accordance with the Cirrus Aircraft Flight Operations Manual and Envelope of Safety. In addition, regulations require additional pilot training and proficiency because the SF50 is turbojet-powered (14 CFR 61.58).
RACTICES ISION Taxiing, Steering, and Braking Practices The Vision SF50 uses a full-castering nose wheel and relies on differential braking for directional control while taxiing. Proper braking practices are therefore critical to avoid potential damage to the brakes. The most common cause of brake damage and/or failure is the creation of excessive heat through improper braking practices.

The primary purpose of CAPS on the Cirrus Vision SF50 is to bring the aircraft occupants safely to the ground following a loss of thrust event, if the pilot has determined the use of CAPS to be safer than a forced landing.
YSTEM ISION Loss of Thrust The primary purpose of CAPS on the Cirrus Vision SF50 is to bring the aircraft occupants safely to the ground following a loss of thrust event or other engine loss, if the pilot has determined the use of CAPS to be safer than a forced landing.
10: S IRRUS ECTION AFETY NFORMATION SF50 (CAPS) ISION IRRUS IRFRAME ARACHUTE YSTEM Loss of Thrust Enroute While attempting to glide to an airfield to perform a power-off landing, the pilot must be continuously aware of altitude and ability to successfully perform the landing. The pilot must determine by 1000 feet AGL if landing is assured or if CAPS will be required.
10: S ECTION AFETY NFORMATION IRRUS (CAPS) SF50 IRRUS IRFRAME ARACHUTE YSTEM ISION General Deployment Information Deployment Speed The recommended CAPS activation speed is one that is less than 135 KIAS and 145 KTAS, whichever is lower, which will result in immediate parachute deployment. It is important for the operator to make all reasonable efforts to slow to the minimum possible airspeed prior to CAPS activation.
10: S IRRUS ECTION AFETY NFORMATION SF50 (CAPS) ISION IRRUS IRFRAME ARACHUTE YSTEM under the canopy or for the cabin to be secured. A low altitude deployment increases the risk of injury or death and should be avoided if possible. If circumstances permit, it is advisable to activate the CAPS at or above 1000 feet AGL.
10: S ECTION AFETY NFORMATION IRRUS (CAPS) SF50 IRRUS IRFRAME ARACHUTE YSTEM ISION The overriding consideration in all CAPS-deployed land- ings is to prepare the occupants for the touchdown in order to protect them as much as possible from injury.
