3 Emergency Procedures
3.1 Introductions
General
This Section describes in abbreviated form (checklist) the
procedures for emergency and abnormal situations.
Amplifications to the abbreviated checklist are presented in
addition by subparagraphs to each checklist paragraph e.g.
subparagraph c corresponds to paragraph c etc.
Important The procedures are arranged in the most desirable sequence
for the majority of cases; therefore the steps must be
performed as listed, unless good reasons for deviations can
be determined.
Multiple emergencies, adverse weather and other peculiar
conditions may require modification of these procedures. A
thorough knowledge of the correct procedures and aircraft
systems is essential to analyze the situation correctly and
determine the best course of action.
Special emphasis should be placed and knowing those
procedures or steps for emergency conditions that require
immediate actions.
These procedures are printed in “bold face”.
Important Procedures must be periodically reviewed to maintain
familiarity with procedures.
3.2 Basic Rules

therefore be observed in addition:
1 Maintain aircraft control
2 Analyze the situation and take proper action
3 Land as soon as possible/Land as soon as practical
