Emergency
Procedures
DA 62 AFM
3.1 INTRODUCTION
3.1.1 GENERAL
This chapter contains checklists as well as the description of recommended procedures
to be followed in the event of an emergency. Engine failure or other airplane-related
emergencies are most unlikely to occur if the prescribed procedures for pre-flight checks
and airplane maintenance are followed.
If, nonetheless, an emergency does arise, the guidelines given in this chapter should
be followed and applied in order to clear the problem.
As it is impossible to foresee all kinds of emergencies and cover them in this Airplane
Flight Manual, a thorough understanding of the airplane by the pilot is, in addition to his
knowledge and experience, an essential factor for the solution of any problems which
may arise.
WARNING
In each emergency, control over the flight attitude and the
preparation of a possible emergency landing have priority
over attempts to solve the current problem ("first fly the
airplane"). Prior to the flight, the pilot must consider the
suitability of the terrain for an emergency landing for each
phase of the flight. For a safe flight, the pilot must constantly
keep a safe minimum flight altitude. Solutions for various
adverse scenarios should be thought over in advance. This
should prevent a situation where the pilot is faced with an
emergency he cannot handle calmly and with determination.
