EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
3.15 EXCEEDING V
NE
Should the VNE be exceeded, pull the stick gently in order to reduce airspeed
and continue flying using gentle control deflections. Land safely as soon as
possible and have the aircraft verified for airworthiness by authorized service
personnel.
3.16 ICE BUILDUP
Turn back or change altitude to exit icing conditions. Consider lateral or ver-
tical path reversal to return to last “known good” flight conditions. Maintain
VFR flight! Set cabin air/heating ON. Watch for signs of icing on the pitot
tube. In case of pneumatic instrument failures, use the GPS information to
reference to approximate ground speed. Plan the landing at the nearest air-
port, or a suitable o airport landing site in case of an extremely rapid ice
build-up. Increase the speed to avoid stall.
CAUTION: Maneuver the airplane gently and leave the flaps retracted.
When ice is built-up at the horizontal stabilizer, the change of pitching mo-
ment due to flaps extension may result of loss of elevator control. Approach
at elevated speeds (+15 KTS, also if using the GPS as a reference).
WARNING:!Failure to act quickly may result in an unrecoverable icing en-
counter.
WARNING:!If control is lost, it may be necessary to deploy the Ballistic
Parachute Rescue System (BPRS).
