EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
APPROVED
The Ballistic Parachute Rescue System (BPRS) should be activated in the
event of a life-threatening emergency where BPRS deployment is deter-
mined to be safer than continued flight and landing.
Land as soon as possible
Once you have handled the emergency, assess your next move. Handle
any non-critical “clean-up” items in the checklist and put the aircraft on the
ground.
