INTRODUCTION
TO
EMERGENCY
PROCEDURES
The procedures in this section of the manual have been developed by
Learjet Inc. for certification of this aircraft. This section contains those
op-
I
erating procedures requiring the use of special systems
and/or
regular sys-
tems
in
order
to
protect the occupants and the aircraft from harm during a
critical situation requiring immediate response. Procedures
or
parts of pro-
cedures
in
this section emphasized
by
enclosure in a box such as this I
r::;
should
be
accomplished without reference to this manual.
The procedures located
in
this section supplement Normal Procedures
when
an
emergency condition exists. Use of Normal Procedures should
be
continued when applicable. Sound judgement, as
well
as thorough knowl-
edge
of the aircraft, its characteristics, and the
flight
manual procedures
are
essential in the handling of any emergency situation.
OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
-----
In
all
emergencies, the overriding consideration must be to:
• Maintain Airplane Control
• Analyze the Situation
• Take Proper Action
TERMINOLOGY
Many emergencies require some urgency in landing the aircraft. The degree
of
urgencY
required varies with the emergency; therefore, the terms "land
as soon as possible" and "land
as
soon as practical" are employed. These
terms are defined as
follows:
Land
as
soon
as
possible - A landing should be accomplished
at
the
nearest suitable airfield considering the severity of the emergency, weather
conditions,
field
facilities, ambient lighting, and aircraft gross weight.
Land
as
soon
as
practical-
Emergency conditions are less urgent,
and
although the mission
is
to be terminated, the degree of the emergency
is
such that an immediate landing
at
the nearest adequate airfield may not
be
necessary.
