Emergency Procedures GENERAL INFORMATION This section provides checklists and procedures for coping with emergencies that may occur. Emergencies caused by airplane malfunctions are rare if proper preflight inspections and maintenance are practiced. En-route weather emergencies may be minimized by careful flight planning and good judgment when unexpected weather is encountered. Should an emergency arise, the basic guidelines in this section should be considered and applied as necessary to correct the problem. The A5 has a series of annunciator lights that assist the pilot in assessing the criticality of various situations. See “Annunciator Panel Caution Lights” on page 16. The following terminology is used to categorize the level of urgency to land the aircraft during an abnormal or emergency situation: Land as soon as practical Extended flight is not recommended. The landing site and duration of flight is at the discretion of the pilot. Flying to a nearby airport with support services is recommended. Land as soon as possible Fly toward the nearest normal landing area (runway or water) while being prepared to execute the “Engine Failure In-Flight” on page 19 to an emergency landing site (e.g. road).

Optimal IPS actuation is from level flight above 500 ft AGL. Descent rate under parachute will be approximately 1200 ft/min. Landing gear will automatically extend following IPS actuation. Once extended, it cannot be raised. Seat belts should remain secure during descent until contact with the surface and all motion stops. At pilot’s discretion, consider unlocking canopy and removing windows during descent. Exit the aircraft after all motion stops. The ELT may not activate during IPS deployment or touchdown. It is therefore recommended to manually activate the ELT during the descent. COOLANT TEMPERATURE HIGH Ground 1. Throttle—ADVANCE to 3000-4000 RPM (if feasible) If high coolant temperature persists: 2. Shutdown as soon as practical NOTE: Use of cabin heater may help reduce coolant temperature. In Flight 1.
