5.1 GENERAL
This section contains the procedures to follow in case of emergency.
It is extremely important to know these procedures so as to be able to manage any emergency situation
and apply the appropriate actions, thus resolving the situation as safely as possible. Multiple emergencies,
unfavourable weather conditions and particular conditions require specific adaptations of the following
procedures.
To address an emergency in the most effective way, the decisions taken by the pilot must be rational and
follow common sense logic.
5.2 CRITICAL EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
The emergency procedures may be classified in critical and non-critical ones.
Critical emergencies are defined as emergency situations which require a rapid and immediate response
that must be instinctive, without reference to any checklist and must be learned by the pilot through
training.
