EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
3.0
INTRODUCTION
3.0.1
GENERAL
This section contains the checklist and procedures coping with emergencies that may occur.
This checklist must be followed in various emergencies to ensure maximum safety for the
crew and/or aircraft.
Thorough knowledge of these procedures will enable the aircrew to better cope with an
emergency. The steps should be performed in the listed sequence. However the procedures
do not restrict the aircrew from taking any additional action necessary to deal with the
emergency.
3.0.2
GENERAL BEHAVIOUR IN EMEREGENCY SITUATIONS
As soon as one of the crew member becomes aware that an emergency situation exists, he
must immediately alert the other crew member of the situation. In any emergency situation,
contact should be established with a ground station as soon as possible after completing the
initial corrective action. Include position, altitude, heading, speed, nature
of the emergency and pilot's intentions in the first transmission. There after the ground
station should be kept informed of the progress of the flight and of any changes or
developments in the emergency. Three basic rules apply to most emergencies and should
be observed by each aircrew member:
1. Maintain aircraft control
2. Analyze the situation and take proper action
3. Land as soon as possible/as soon as practical
The meaning of "
as soon as possible
" and "
as soon as practical
" as used in this section is
as follows:
Land AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (ASAP) =
Emergency conditions are urgent and require an
immediate landing at the nearest suitable
airfield, considering also other factors, such as
weather conditions and aircraft mass.
Land AS SOON AS PRACTICAL=
Emergency conditions are less urgent and in the
aircrews judgement the flight may be safely
continued to an airfield where more adequate
facilities are available.
W A R N I N G
Make only one attempt to restore an automatically disconnected power source or reset or replace
an automatically disconnected CPD (circuit protection device) that affects flight operations or
safety. Each successive attempt to restore an automatically disconnected power source, or the
resetting of an automatically disconnected CPD can result in progressively worse effects.
