EC 135 P2+ FLM page 61/155
3.1.1 Basic rules
These procedures deal with common emergencies. However, they do not prevent the pilot from taking additional action necessary to recover the emergency situation.
Although the procedures contained in this Section are considered the best available, the pilot’s sound judgement is of paramount importance when confronted with an emergency.
To assist the pilot during an inflight emergency, three basic rules have been established:
1. Maintain aircraft control
2. Analyse the situation
3. Take proper action
NOTE It is impossible to establish a predetermined set of instructions which would provide a ready-made decision applicable to all situations.
The problem with someone saying 'you taught us to do it this way', is that when it comes to it there probably isn't anything to back those words up.
