EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
APPROVED
WARNING
: !
!
Should the fire extinguisher contain Halon gas, its operation
can be toxic, especially in a closed area. After extinguishing fire, ventilate
cabin by opening air vents and unlatching door (if required).
If airflow is not sufficient to clear smoke or fumes from cabin after the fire has
been extinguished:
4 Cabin Air Selector ON
5 Green Electrical Switches OFF
6 Land AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
NOTE
: The
door structure/hinge is not designed for intentional open-door
operations. Be advised that the chance of door failure occuring is higher, as
the airspeed at which the door is opened at increases.
3.7 BPRS DEPLOYMENT
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.
WARNING
: !
BPRS deployment is expected to result in loss of the airframe
and, depending upon adverse external factors such as high deployment
speed, low altitude, or rough terrain may result in severe injury or death to
the occupants. Because of this, BPRS should only be activated when any
other means of handling the emergency would not protect the occupants
from serious injury.
CAUTION
:
Expected impact in a fully stabilized deployment is equivalent
to a drop from approximately 3 meters.
Once it is decided to deploy BPRS, the following actions should be taken:
1 Airspeed MINIMUM POSSIBLE
NOTE: The maximum demonstrated deployment speed is 314 km/h (170
kts) IAS.
Reducing airspeed allows minimum parachute loads and prevents struc-
tural overload and possible parachute failure.
