S-7S EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
INTRODUCTION
This section provides checklists and amplified procedures for coping with
emergencies that may occur. Emergencies caused by aircraft or powerplant
malfunctions are rare if proper preflight inspections and maintenance are
performed. Emergencies caused by extreme weather situations can be
minimized or eliminated by good judgment and proper preflight planning.
However, should an emergency arise the basic guidelines described in this
section should be considered and applied as necessary to resolve the problem.
In any emergency – fly the airplane first - maintain control.
