3.1. WARNING AND CAUTION LIGHT AND
PILOT FAULT SYSTEM
This section covers the operation of the aircraft during abnormal or emergency situations.
When dealing with emergencies it is essential to determine the best course of action by using sound
judgment. When practical your flight members should be made aware of your problems and your
proposed course of action to correct them.
There are three basic rules to apply to all emergencies:
•
Maintain aircraft control
•
Analyse the situation and take corrective action
•
Land as soon as the situation dictates

•
