SECTION 3 - EMERGENCIES
3.1
Introduction
Section 3 provides checklists and detailed procedures for coping with various
emergencies that may occur. Emergencies caused by aircraft or engine
malfunction are extremely rare if proper pre-flight inspections and maintenance are
practiced.
However, should an emergency arise, the basic guidelines described in this section
should be considered and applied as necessary to correct the problem. It is
normally impractical to refer to this manual after the emergency has arisen; for this
reason, pilots are strongly advised to familiarise themselves with its contents before
flight.
