EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
INTRODUCTION
Section 3 provides checklist and amplified procedures for coping with
e mergencies 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 minim-
ized 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 ELT and other optional systems can be found in Section 9.
