6.1 INTRODUCTION
Section 6 provides checklist and amplified procedures for coping with emer-
gencies that may occur. Emergencies caused by airplane or engine malfunc-
tions are extremely rare if proper preflight inspections and maintenance are
practiced. Enroute weather emergencies can be minimized or eliminated by
careful flight planning and good judgment when unexpected weather is en-
countered. However, should an emergency arise, the basic guidelines de-
scribed in this section should be considered and applied, as necessary, to
correct the problem.
