Section 5 - Emergency Procedures
The following emergency checklists are added to those reported in the basic POH.
5.1 RESCUE SYSTEM DEPLOYMENT
Rescue system should be deployed in the event of a life-threating emergency where parachute
activation is determined to be safer than continued flight and landing.
Rescue system should only be activated when any other means of handling
the emergency would not protect the occupants from serious injury.
Successful deployment depends on aircraft attitude and airspeed: greater
deployment altitude yields better chances for successful deployment
Shown below the procedure to be followed:
Airspeed MINUM POSSIBLE
(Max 137 KIAS)
Magnetos: OFF
Pull activation handle firmly and to end-travel
After deployment
Fuel selector: OFF
Master Switch: OFF
Seat Belts and Harnesses: TIGHTEN
Before impact
Assume emergency landing body position
The emergency landing body position is assumed by placing both hands on the
lap, clasping one wrist with the opposite hand, and holding the upper torso erect
and against the seat backs.
After the airplane comes to a complete stop, evacuate quickly and
move upwind
