Topic:
How To Manage Emergencies Not Specifically Described in the POH/AFM.
Date and Time:
Wednesday, January 21, 2026, starting at 18:00 Pacific Standard Time Download Calendar File
Speaker(s):
CFI Joe Biviano
Brief Description:

The POH / AFM under Section 3 contains procedures to manage emergencies.  These procedures do NOT contain details / guidance for off-nominal conditions.  As an example, an alternator failure in IMC or at night. In these situations, procedures will vary.  What about other emergencies not in the POH / AFM?  Vibrations, fuel / oil in the cockpit, limited / reduced control power?  It's the pilot's responsibility to manage the emergency to a safe outcome.  This presentation will review select emergency procedures under various conditions and provide insight on managing emergencies that you normally would NOT find in the POH / AFM.
