EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
INTRODUCTION
This section contains procedures that are recommended if an emergency condition should
occur during ground operation, take-off, or in-flight. 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 modem aircraft, their
occurrence 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 part of normal 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.
In the procedures that follow, critical actions with respect to time are indicated by use of
bold print; these actions should be performed immediately if the emergency condition is not to
be aggravated. The remaining procedures are non-critical in the sense that time is usually
available for consulting the check list.
