You must handle each emergency incident according to prevailing circumstances. You may apply some
standard procedures in every instance that will benefit the emergency aircraft. In all cases, successful
handling of emergency aircraft depends on good, sound, controller judgment.
It is highly important to provide vectors for the most direct route, consistent with safety. The pilot will
