SECTION III
EMERGENCY AND
MALFUNCTION PROCEDURES
3–1. GENERAL
The procedures contained in this section are to be followed in the event of an emergen
cy or malfunction that may potentially affect the safety of the aircrew, passengers,
aircraft, or personnel on the ground.
These procedures are recommended to minimize danger to the helicopter. However,
these procedures should not limit the pilot from taking additional actions if the
situation warrants.
In the event of an emergency or malfunction, the pilot’s primary consideration
is control of the aircraft . Then, the pilot must identify the problem and perform
the appropriate procedures relevant to the situation.
Terms such as ‘‘land immediately’’ , ‘‘land as soon as possible’’ , and ‘‘ land as
soon as practical’’ are defined in Section I.
