EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
The Ballistic Parachute Rescue System (BPRS) should be activated in the
event of a life-threatening emergency where BPRS deployment is deter-
mined to be safer than continued flight and landing.
Land as soon as possible
Find the nearest suitable area, such as an open field, at which a safe ap-
proach and landing is assured, and land without delay.
Land as soon as practical
The continuation of the flight and the landing site is at discretion of the pilot.
It is not recommented to continue the flight beyond the nearest suitable
landing area.
CAUTION
: The following procedures apply to an aircraft configured with all
the optional equipment and systems. Skip steps that do not apply to the
specific aircraft if the equipment is not installed. See Chapter 7 for additional
information.
