PIPER AIRCRAFT CORPORATION SECTION 3
PA-28-236, DAKOTA EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
REVISED: JULY 13, 1984
SECTION 3
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
3.1 GENERAL
The recommended procedures for coping with various types of emergencies
and critical situations are provided by this section. All of required (FAA
regulations) emergency procedures and those necessary for operation of the
airplane as determined by the operating and design features of the airplane are
presented.
Emergency procedures associated with those optional systems and
equipment which require handbook supplements are provided by Section 9
(Supplements).
The first portion of this section consists of an abbreviated emergency check
list which supplies an action sequence for critical situations with little emphasis
on the operation of systems.
The remainder of the section is devoted to amplified emergency procedures
containing additional information to provide the pilot with a more complete
understanding of the procedures.
These procedures are suggested as a course of action for coping with the
particular condition described, but are not a substitute for sound judgment and
common sense. Pilots should familiarize themselves with the procedures given
in this section and be prepared to take appropriate action should an emergency
arise.
Most basic emergency procedures, such as power off landings, are a normal
part of pilot training. Although these emergencies are discussed here, this
information is not intended to replace such training, but only to provide a source
of reference and review, and to provide information on procedures which are not
the same for all aircraft. It is suggested that the pilot review standard emergency
procedures periodically to remain proficient in them.
