EMERGENCY PROCEDURES 4.1. INTRODUCTION This section provides a list of appropriate actions in the event of certain emergencies. Providing that the aircraft is well maintained and proper pre-flight inspections are made, emergencies due to failure of the aircraft, aircraft engine or other systems is very rare. However, should an emergency occur, the procedures described in this section of the manual should be adopted. 4.2. ENGINE FAILURE 4.2.1.
