6.4.6 Restart and emergency landing procedures

It is a good idea to learn by heart the procedures that you may encounter if you

have to restart the aircraft in the air or make an emergency landing.

An Emergency Checklist must be available on the aircraft.

Memorize the procedures and use them if it can have a favorable effect on the

situation.
