3.1.3 Operating Condition
The following terms are used in emergency procedures to describe the operating condi-
tion of a system, subsystem, assembly or component:
Affected Fails to operate
in the normal or usual manner.

in the normal or usual manner.
3.1.4 Urgency of Landing
NOTE The type of emergency and the emergency conditions combined with the pilot’s
analysis of the condition of the helicopter and his proficiency are of prime impor-
tance in determining the urgency of a landing.
The following terms are used to reflect the degree of urgency of an emergency landing:
LAND IMMEDIATELY
The urgency of landing is paramount. Primary consideration is to assure survival of
the occupants. Landing in water, trees or other unsafe areas should be considered
only as a last resort.
LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Land without delay at the nearest adequate site (i.e. open field) at which a safe ap-
proach and landing can be made.
LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE
The landing site and duration of flight are at the discretion of the pilot. Extended flight
beyond the nearest approved landing area where appropriate assistance can be ex-
pected is not recommended.
3.2 WARNING AND CAUTION LIGHTS
Most emergency situations will be indicated by either a red warning light
or a yellow cau-
tion light coming on.
A red warning light
indicates a hazard which may require immediate corrective action.
A yellow caution light
indicates the possible need for future corrective action.
It is always possible that a warning/caution light will unnecessarily come on. Whenever
possible, check the light against its associated instrument to verify that an emergency
condition has actually occurred.
Following is an alphabetical listing of the warning and caution light indications with the
respective conditions, any further indications, and the emergency procedure.
