Mayday
24 viewsSep 28, 2026
Mayday is the distress call for serious, imminent danger when you need help now. You learn how it differs from pan-pan, how the call is built, and what to do once it is out.
What you learn
- Tell when a situation calls for Mayday, not pan-pan
- Make the Mayday call in its standard order
- Squawk 7700, unless ATC has already given you a code
- Call again on 121.5 when nobody answers
