3.1 General
While this chapter covers most emergencies and critical situations that could occur in the WT9 Dynamic LSA, it is not a
substitute for a thorough knowledge of the aircraft and aviation techniques. Proper study of this chapter while on the
ground will help you prepare for critical situations.
Emergencies caused by aircraft or engine malfunction are extremely rare if proper pre-flight inspection and
maintenance are performed. Nevertheless, an emergency may arise. The basic instructions described in this chapter
should be considered and applied as necessary to correct the problem.
When face an emergency situation, keep in mind the following:
Control the aircraft – Maintain aircraft control and do not stop flying. Always proceed in this order: aviate, navigate
and communicate.
Analyze the situation – While you maintain control of the aircraft, evaluate the situation. Check the engine
parameters and determine the possible reasons.
Perform appropriate action – To correct the problem or allow safe recovery of the aircraft, follow the procedures in
this chapter.
Land as soon as possible – Once you get out of the emergency situation, evaluate if it is safe to continue the flight.
Land at the nearest suitable airport.
