EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
3.1 General
This section of the AOI describes the procedures to be adopted in the event of an emergency or
abnormal situation occurring in this aircraft.
These procedures are arranged in the sequence considered to be the most desirable in the majority of
cases. Steps should be performed in the order listed unless a suitable reason to deviate exists.
This section contains operating procedures for flight and system emergency conditions that are essential
for the continued safe operation of the aircraft.
Always maintain correct airspeed and altitudes in the circuit area.
Never fly in uncertain weather conditions and always fly within your proven ability. Be sure only to extend
your capabilities under planned training situations.
Carry out safe airmanship whilst flying and be aware of possible emergency landing areas along your
flight path. If possible check these areas from the ground as you enter the airfield or flying site. This
technique is for safety reasons as engines are susceptible to stopping, no matter how reliably
manufactured or maintained.
Keep a good lookout for other aircraft, always be thoughtful and show your intentions. Demonstrate good
airmanship always!
It should be remembered that the manufacturer couldn’t foresee all conceivable circumstances. Particular
circumstances such as multiple or unanticipated emergencies, adverse weather etc. may require
modification to these procedures. A thorough knowledge of the aircraft and its systems is required to
analyze the situation correctly and to determine the best course of action.
