General
This
section
provides
the
recommended
procedures in the event of a major failure
and/or an emergency situation.
Emergency procedures require immediate action.
Emergency procedures associated with optional or particular equipment which
require Pilot's Operating Handbook supplements are provided in Section 9:
Supplements.
The pilot must know procedures given in this section and be prepared to take
appropriate action should an emergency arise.
Some emergency procedures are a part of pilot basic 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.
It is important for the pilot to be familiar with standard emergency procedures to be
at the optimum efficacy if necessary.
Alarm System Recall
Main failure or state modification of the different systems are provided by warning
or caution messages appearing in the CAS window.
The color code philosophy for CAS messages is the following:
- the
RED warning messages indicate a failure or a condition that requires an
immediate action from the pilot,
- the AMBER caution messages indicate a failure or a condition that requires
an action from the pilot as soon as practicable and,
- the WHITE advisory messages indicate a state of a system that does not
require an action from the pilot.
The color code philosophy of the single engine indicator is the following:
Red or amber failure warnings are coupled with the lighting of:
- a red warning indication (e.g NG - 104.5%) requires immediate engine
power reduction to resume operation in the normal operating range,
- an amber cautionary indication (e.g. ITT - 855 °C) requires engine power
reduction, as soon as practicable, to
resume operation in the normal
operating range.
Red or amber failure warnings are coupled with the lighting of:
- a flashing red indicator/pushbutton
