7. Emergency procedures
7.1 Introduction
This section contains procedures for various emergencies which may occur. Emergencies caused by
aircraft or engine malfunctions are rare if proper pre-flight inspections and maintenance are practiced.
This chapter describes basic emergencies and recovery procedures. Not all emergencies that may occur
can be listed here in full, therefore their solution depends on experience of the crew controlling the course
of such events. All airspeed values in this chapter are presented in MPH Indicated Airspeed, as this value
represents instrument readings better than the Calibrated airspeed.
