What must be done in the event of an emergency landing?

In the event of an emergency landing, following the established emergency procedures in the Flight Operations Manual (FOM) is essential for ensuring the safety of the aircraft, crew, and passengers. The FOM outlines specific protocols designed to address various emergency scenarios, providing critical steps that must be executed in an organized and effective manner.

Adhering to the FOM procedures allows the flight crew to maintain situational awareness, implement appropriate actions, and communicate effectively throughout the emergency situation. This structured approach is vital, as it prepares the crew to handle unexpected situations while minimizing risks and ensuring a safe outcome.

Other options fail to follow this crucial standard. Not adhering to FOM protocols compromises safety, and completing pre-flight checklists during an emergency is not practical or effective since immediate action is crucial. Moreover, delaying communication until after landing can hinder coordination with air traffic control and emergency response teams during the critical moments of an emergency, potentially jeopardizing safety.
