Introduction

Changing weather conditions, air traffic control (ATC), the
aircraft, and the pilot are all variables that make instrument
flying an unpredictable and challenging operation. The safety
of the flight depends upon the pilot's ability to manage these
variables while maintaining positive aircraft control and
adequate situational awareness. This chapter discusses the
recognition and suggested remedies for such abnormal and
emergency events related to unforecasted, adverse weather;
aircraft system malfunctions; communication/navigation
system malfunctions; and loss of situational awareness.
