Is an electrical failure in flight considered an emergancy? - 64T - 14-02-2010
I still have my airspeed and other digital displays however the Gyro for the Artificial Horizon has failed and other electrical systems such as the AP
lights etc.
I have canceled my destination, should I squawk 7770 and declare an emergency?
I am currently in flight

Yes it is considered as a emergency.
First declare a emergency and then cancel the destination if you are not able to make it to the orginal one.
It is up to the captain to deside if he still can fly till the orginal destination or not.
Also he desides if it is a mayday-emergency or a pan-emergency.
In this case I personal would call it a pan-emergency if I was able to control the a/c manual and the rest is still functional.

How Do You Chose In FsPasseners?? I Thought That When You Clicked Emergency The Co-Pilot Said 'Pan Pan Pan' Am I Missing
Something Here? Is Their Two Options For An Emergency?

For future reference, please don't post in threads more than 9 months old.
Depending on the severity of the emergency to be declared, the Co-pilot will decide, when you hit the declare emergency button, whether the emergency
warrants a PAN or a MAYDAY. There are not two seperate buttons, and you cannot choose which it will be.

I'm Sorry About The Post Earlier.... I didn't know about that 'rule' Thanks for this. Just To Get Things Right:
1. Pan - A Pan Is A Medium To Large Emergency, But Not Critical
2. Mayday- This Is A Huge Event and is immediately Life-Threatening and Critical
And Both Require A Squawk 7700. Right?
