EMERGENCY PROCEDURES (SECTION 3)
Checklists describing the recommended procedures and airspeeds for coping with various types of emergencies or critical situations are located in the Emergency Procedures section. Some of the emergencies covered include: engine failure, fires, and systems failures. The procedures for in-flight engine restarting and ditching may also be included.
Manufacturers may first show the emergencies checklists in an abbreviated form with the order of items reflecting the sequence of action. Amplified checklists that provide additional information on the procedures follow the abbreviated checklist. To be prepared for emergency situations, memorize the immediate action items and after completion, refer to the appropriate checklist.
Manufacturers may include an optional area titled "Abnormal Procedures." This section describes recommended procedures for handling malfunctions that are not considered emergencies in nature.
NORMAL PROCEDURES (SECTION 4)
This section begins with a listing of the airspeeds for normal operations. The next area consists of several checklists that may include preflight inspection, before starting procedures, starting engine, before taxiing, taxiing, before takeoff, takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, before landing, balked landing, after landing, and postflight procedures. An Amplified Procedures area follows the checklists to provide more detailed information about the various procedures.
To avoid missing important steps, always use the appropriate checklists whenever they are available. Consistent adherence to approved checklists is a sign of a disciplined and competent pilot.
