SECTION 3: EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
3.1.
INTRODUCTION
The urgency of certain emergencies requires immediate and instinctive action by the pilot.
The most important single consideration is aircraft control. All procedures are subordinate
to this requirement: “Never stop flying the aircraft”.
Those steps that must be performed immediately and instinctively in an emergency
situation are underlined. The pilot should be able to perform these steps without reference
to the checklist. When the situation permits, all steps should be accomplished with the
use of a checklist.
3.2.
DEFINITION OF EMERGENCY TERMS
LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE:
defined as landing at the nearest suitable landing area (e.g., open field) without
delay. (The primary consideration is to ensure the survival of the occupants)
LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE:
defined as landing at a suitable landing area. (The primary consideration is the
urgency of the emergency.)
3.3.
EMERGENCY BASIC RULES
Three basic rules that will assist the pilot when an emergency occurs while airborne are
as follows:
a.
Maintain aircraft control
b.
Analyze the situation and take proper action
c.
Land the aircraft as soon as conditions permit.
3.4.
MVP-50T ANNUNCIATION LIGHTS
Annunciator lights will change color corresponding to the numerical value of the system
associated with the segment. If operating within a yellow cautionary range, the illuminated
segment and digits will be Yellow. If operated in a Red range, the segment and digits will
display in Red. In either case both the segment light and either the Master Warning or
Master Caution light will be flashing. Pressing the Exit button on the display panel will
stop the segment from flashing and extinguish the Master Caution light, resetting it so that
in case of another out of limit operation, it will be ready to function for that annunciation.
