Emergency procedure if trial goes wrong (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

airlift

'emergency procedure' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'if trial goes wrong' is the wordplay.
'goes wrong' is an anagram indicator.
'if'+'trial'='iftrial'
'iftrial' with letters rearranged gives 'AIRLIFT'.

(Other definitions for airlift that I've seen before include "Rescue using planes" , "Flying transportation" , "delivery" , "(Emergency) flight" , "Emergency action by planes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
