Bird strikes

Stress levels will run high in an Unplanned emergency on takeoff or landing. It is imperative that the crew maintains their ability to respond quickly and appropriately.


Know Your Equipment Knowing the location of all emergency equipment is critically important during an Unplanned emergency. The aircraft may be dark with minimal emergency lighting and/or smoke may limit visibility. Know how to find the exits in the dark and how to open them.
