 Emergency Procedures

Section 3

Order of the most serious fires Immediate Action are in BOLD CAPITAL letters Remaining steps (clean up) follow

NOTE Overcoming emergencies successfully depends upon the pilots sound judgement thorough knowledge of the aircraft systems and equipment
FlightSafety Aircraft Flight Manual 12

Section 3
In case of emergency:
1. Maintain aircraft control 2. Analyze the situation. Then take proper action to correct it 3. If the difficulty has occurred during flight, land as soon as conditions permit

Part E Takeoff (Wet, Bleed Air must be OFF)

Allows for more shaft horsepower available for hot day and or high altitude takeoffs Remember when using water the bleed switches must be turned off, even though there is an automatic shutoff in the water system
