EMERGENCY GUIDANCE
The emergency procedures listed in this section are the recommended practices for
handling the aircraft in the event of an aircraft emergency. This guidance should be
considered and applied as necessary.
The risk of an emergency occurring can be reduced substantially through proper
aircraft maintenance, by performing thorough inspections before and after all
flights, and with careful pre-flight planning.
Emergency situations are dynamic events, and not all conditions or procedures can
be anticipated or applied during the event. These procedures are not a substitute for
a thorough understanding of aircraft systems and sound pilot judgment.
In general, if an emergency occurs, three basic actions can be applied to most
situations:
Maintain aircraft control - Small emergencies can quickly escalate if the pilot is
distracted attempting to determine or troubleshoot the problem. Always maintain
visual contact with the aircraft during an emergency to reduce the likelihood of
disorientation.
Analyze the situation - Once the aircraft is stabilized, begin to assess the cause of
the emergency if practical.
Take appropriate action - In many cases, the appropriate action will be to land the
aircraft as soon as possible. Always consider the safety of yourself and others before
attempting to save the aircraft in an emergency.
