1.T INTRODUCTION
This Pilot's Operating Handbook is designed for maximum utilization
as an operating guide for the pilot. It includes the material required to be
furnished to the pilot by FAR/CAR. It also contains supplemental data
supplied by the airplane manufacturer.
This handbook is not designed as a substitute for adequate and
competent flight instruction, knowledge of current airworthiness directives,
applicable federal air regulations or advisory circulars. It is not intended to
be a guide for basic flight instruction or a training manual and should not be
used for operational purposes unless kept in a current status.
Assurance that the airplane is in an airworthy condition is the
responsibility of the owner. The pilot in command is responsible for
determining that the airplane is safe for flight. The pilot is also responsible
for remaining within the operating limitations as outlined by instrument
markings, placards, and this handbook.
Although the arrangement of this handbook is intended to increase its
in-flight capabilities, it should not be used solely as an occasional operating
reference. The pilot should study the entire handbook to familiarize himself
with the limitations, performance, procedures and operational handling
characteristics of the airplane before flight.
The handbook has been divided into numbered (arabic) sections each
provided with a "finger-tip" tab divider for quick reference. The limitations
and emergency procedures have been placed ahead of the normal
procedures, performance and other sections to provide easier access to
information that may be required in flight. The "Emergency Procedures"
Section has been furnished with a red tab divider to present an instant
reference to the section. Provisions for expansion of the handbook have
been made by the deliberate omission of certain paragraph numbers, figure
numbers, item numbers and pages noted as being intentionally left blank.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
3.I GENERAL
The recommended procedures for coping with various types of
emergencies and critical situations are provided by this section. All of the
required (FAA regulations) emergency procedures and those necessary for
operation of the airplane as determined by the operating and design features
of the airplane are presented.
Emergency procedures associated with those optional systems and
equipment which require handbook supplements are provided in Section 9
(Supplements).
The first portion of this section consists of an abbreviated emergency
checklist which supplies an action sequence for critical situations with little
emphasis on the operation of systems.
The remainder of the section is devoted to amplified emergency
procedures containing additional information to provide the pilot with a
more complete understanding of the procedures.
These procedures are suggested as a course of action for coping with the
particular condition described, but are not a substitute for sound judgment
and common sense. Pilots should familiarize themselves with the
procedures given in this section and be prepared to take appropriate action
should an emergency arise.
Most basic emergency procedures, such as a power off landings, are a
normal part of pilot training. Although these emergencies are discussed
here, this information is not intended to replace such training, but only to
provide a source of reference and review, and to provide information on
procedures which are not the same for all aircraft. lt is suggested that the
pilot review standard emergency procedures periodically to remain
proficient in them.
