3-1 GENERAL
This section of the Pilot’s Operating Handbook describes the recommended
procedures for managing various types of emergencies or critical situations
that may occur. Performing proper preight inspections and maintenance
procedures will help prevent emergencies caused by airplane or powerplant
malfunctions. In-ight weather emergencies can be avoided with proper
preight planning, and good judgement when unexpected weather is
encountered. However, if an emergency should take place, the basic
procedures outlined in this section should be considered and applied, as
required, to remedy the problem.
WARNING: There is no substitute for proper and thorough preight
planning action, along with continual use of the information gathered
during the preight planning process. Be thoroughly knowledgeable
of possible hazards and dangerous conditions, and be aware of the
capabilities and limitations of the airplane.
NOTE: Emergency procedures associated with optional systems or
equipment are included in their individual Supplements in “Section 9.”
