Notes reference

NOTEThis emergency procedures checklist is intended to supplement the information contained in the Pilot’s Operating Handbook (POH) and serve as a handy inflight reference and instructional tool. Whenever time permits in an emergency situation, pilots should make use of all sources of information including the expanded text in the POH.
NOTEIn any emergency situation the pilot’s priorities should be 1. Maintain aircraft control. 2. Analyze the situation. 3. Take corrective action.
NOTEItems in Bold Print are time critical steps that should be committed to memory so that they can be accomplished without referring to the checklist. As time permits during the handling of an emergency the pilot should then use the checklist to confirm that all Bold Print items have been accomplished.
NOTE“Land as soon as practicable” as used in this checklist means that the pilot should land at the nearest airfield that has a suitable runway (length, type surface, etc.) and weather appropriate for the pilot’s proficiency and the type aircraft flown.
