INTRODUCTION
SECTION 5 provides checklists and amplified procedures for coping with emergencies
that may occur. Emergencies caused by aircraft or powerplant malfunctions are rare if
proper preflight inspections and maintenance are performed. Emergencies caused by
extreme weather situations can be minimized or eliminated by good judgment and
proper preflight planning. However, should an emergency arise the basic guidelines
described in this section should be considered and applied as necessary to resolve the
problem.
In any emergency – fly the airplane first- maintain control.
