EMERGENCY PROCEDURE

Definitions
Land Immediately. Urgency of ldg is paramount, primary
consideration is to assure survival of occupants. Ldg in
trees, water and other unsafe areas should be considered
only as last resort
Land As Soon Possible. Land without delay at nearest
suitable area (i.e. open fd) at which a safe apch and ldg is
reasonably assured.
Land As Soon As Practicable. Ldg site and duration of
flt are at the discretion of pilot. Extended flt beyond
nearest approved ldg area is not recommended.
Wng. An operating procedure practice etc. which if not
correctly followed could result in personal injury or
loss of life.
Caution. An operating procedure practice etc which if not
correctly observed could result in damage to or
destruction of equipment.
Note. An operating procedure, practice which is essential
to highlight.
