RFM chapter 3 - EP's (Bold face) Flashcards
Memory items
Emergency procedure steps which shall be performed immediately without reference to either this manual or the pilot’s checklist are written in boldface letters on a gray background and shall be committed to memory.
The basic rules:
Maintain AC control
Analyse the situation
Take proper action
LAND IMMEDIATELY:
The urgency of landing is paramount. Primary consideration is to assure survival of the occupants. Landing in water, trees or other unsafe areas should be considered only as a last resort.
LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (LAND ASAP)
Land without delay at the nearest adequate site (i.e. open field) at which a safe approach and landing can be made.
LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE
The landing site and duration of flight are at the discretion of the pilot. Extended flight beyond the nearest approved landing area where appropriate assistance can be expected is not recommended.
