The
important
thiny
to
remember
in flight
maneuvers
is
that
the
airplane
is
dean
in
aerodynamic
design
and
will
build
up
speed
quickly
with
the
nose
down.
Since
proper
speed
control
is
essential
for
execution
of
any
maneuver,
care
should
always
be
exercised
to
avoid
excessive
speed
and
its
resultant
heavy
airframe
loads. In
the
execution
of
all
maneuvers,
avoid
abrupt
use
of
controls.
As
noted,
SPINS
:4-RE
PROHIBITED.
In
case
of
an
inadvertent

The

As

stops,
neutralize

INTRODUCTION
SECTION 3
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
This
section
provides
the
pilot
with
checklists
and
amplified
procedures
that
enable
him
to
cope
with
emergencies
that
may
be
encountered
in
operating
the
airplane. If
proper
preflight
inspections,
operating
procedures,
and
maintenance
practices
are
used,
emergencies
rlue
to
airplane
or
engine
malfunction
should
be
rare. Likewise,
careful
flight
planning
and
good
pilot
judgement
can
minimize
enroute
weather
emergencies.
However,
should
any
er;nergency
develop,
the
guidelines
in
this
section
should
be
considered
and
applied
as
necessary
to
correct
the
problen1.
