  • Chapter 18: Emergency Procedures › Emergency Response Systems › Ballistic Parachutes

    Emergency Response Systems Airplanes may have installed systems that provide alternatives in certain emergency situations. For example, ballistic parachute systems, if installed, may be deployed in an emergency allowing an airplane to descend slowly enough toward the ground such that ... occupants usually survive the resulting impact with minor or no injuries. Airplanes may also have an Emergency Autoland (EAL) system, which can take over control of the aircraft when necessary for a safe outcome. Ballistic Parachutes Deployment of an airplane…

    Emergencies While an LSA is designed to be simple, a complete knowledge of its systems is needed such that a transitioning pilot is able to respond properly to any emergency. The airplane’s POH describes the appropriate responses ... various emergency situations that may be encountered. [Figure 17-16] Consider a few examples: the EFIS is displaying a red “X” across the airspeed tape, electric trim runaway, or control system failure. The pilot should be able to respond…
