Emergency Helicopter Maneuvers
Emergency Procedures
These are general procedures dealing with emergency situations. Every helicopter
is different, and the pilot needs to understand the exact emergency method recommended

to deal with emergencies in a generic way and should not be used in a particular model
of helicopter.
