    Dear friends and followers welcome back to my channel and to a great video about the famous MAYDAY and PAN PAN call.
    We´ll be looking at why and when pilots use these calls.
    First off the definition of MAYDAY:
    Mayday is an emergency procedure word used internationally as a distress signal in voice-procedure radio communications.
    It is used to signal a life-threatening emergency primarily by aviators and mariners, but in some countries local organizations such as firefighters, police forces, and transportation organizations also use the term. The call is always given three times in a row ("Mayday mayday mayday") to prevent its being mistaken for some similar-sounding phrase under noisy conditions, and to distinguish an actual mayday call from a message about a mayday call.
    The "mayday" procedure word was originated in 1923, by a senior radio officer at Croydon Airport in London. The officer, Frederick Stanley Mockford, was asked to think of a word that would indicate distress and would easily be understood by all pilots and ground staff in an emergency. Since much of the traffic at the time was between Croydon and Le Bourget Airport in Paris, he proposed the expression "mayday" from the French m'aider ('help me'), a shortened form of venez m'aider ('come and help me').It is unrelated to the holiday May Day.
    Before the voice call "mayday", SOS was the Morse code equivalent of the mayday call. In 1927, the International Radiotelegraph Convention of Washington adopted the voice call mayday as the radiotelephone distress call in place of the SOS radiotelegraph (Morse code) call.
    PAN PAN call definition:
    The radiotelephony message PAN-PAN is the international standard urgency signal that someone aboard a boat, ship, aircraft, or other vehicle uses to declare that they have a situation that is urgent, but for the time being, does not pose an immediate danger to anyone's life or to the vessel itself. This is referred to as a state of urgency. This is distinct from a mayday call (distress signal), which means that there is an imminent danger to life or to the continued viability of the vessel itself Radioing pan-pan informs potential rescuers (including emergency services and other craft in the area) that an urgent problem exists, whereas mayday calls on them to drop all other activities and immediately begin a rescue.
    The exact representation of PAN-PAN in Morse code is the urgency signal XXX, which was first defined by the International Radiotelegraph Convention of 1927.
    But see more in the video on how they are being used accordingly!

    Wishing you all the best!

      Except that in french, the real translation is: "aidez moi!!" or "à l'aide!!" What the guy must have heard was a question or a sentence like "pouvez-vous m'aider?" "allez vous m'aider" "je vous demande de m'aider". And yes, I am french ;)

      It is genius, in its way. the international aeronautic language is English. Period. Even North Korea follows that, however unwillingly. French is an astonishingly common second language in many areas of the world (the size of La Francophonie attests to that), so it acts as an excellent mnemonic.

    The military have another call “NODUF”, then state the emergency. It’s used to indicate that the message is real, not a training simulation.

      Some random people on the Internet (www.arrse.co.uk/community/threads/where-do-the-words-biff-and-no-duff-come-from.68379/#post-1456074 ) say that NODUF comes from "No Direction Finding" - i.e. this is a call you're making *during* an exercise about a real, not simulated, casualty. But you want to spoil the exercise as little as possible, not having this transmission give away your position.
      And from there it maybe evolved into "Not Duff" (information), i.e. real, not fake.

      CQD actually dates back to the days radios had been introduced on ships. I think Marconi was the first of them. Radio equipment even came with the radio operators back then. Marconi even defined the communication protocol to be used with their equipment. CQD was introduced very early in the last century when Morse code was the only way of radio communication.
      Only few years later the Morse code ...---... Was introduced in Germany and shortly after adopted internationally. I think the RMS Titanic was the first to use it and actually used both. The Morse code was not even specified as discussed but as kind of a special easy to recognize signal that would be unlikely in a normal radio communication. SOS is even only one way to transcribe it in American Morse code as other languages codes and other letter combinations can create the same signal. Only other than normal messages there is no pause between the single letters. It just happened that SOS in American Morse code is by far the easiest one to memorize.

    My dad was a flight instructor, and when he was teaching me to fly, we were doing engine failure simulation.
    Before the flight he had me study the engine failure procedures which I did.
    One of the steps on this plane (A J-3 Cub) was, "Check throttle setting" so when Dad pulled the throttle to idle to simulate an engine failure he said "Your engine has failed, deal with it"
    I looked out, found a place to land very quickly (We were over California farm land, with a nice alfalfa field (which does't use plowed furrows, just nice flat, hard dirt) I lined up, saw the throttle setting was at idle and, choosing to be a smart ass (I was 15 at the time), just returned the throttle to its normal setting.
    I was expecting to be told off, but instead I was praised for responding correctly to the situation.
    Flying is cool. I wish I had stayed with it.

    Superb. Thanks for this video! There is one thing I have found about emergency calls as a Pilot, and that is my reluctance to declare an emergency if it's not as straightforward/cut and dried as some of these examples. For instance, as a VFR-only Pilot, I was once caught by deteriorating weather conditions reducing visibility, and I needed a bit of guidance (eventually received a radar vector) to get back to my airstrip, a tiny grass strip in the middle of nowhere. I should really have declared a PAN PAN but I didn't. Ah well, I have learned. And I owe that controller a pint ;)

    • @Ash-en1pk
      @Ash-en1pk ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Tony, your point is well made. Years ago (late 80s), I was one of a number of teens taught to fly at a civilian airfield as part of a military scholarship scheme. One of the guys got disoriented during his Navigation Flying Test. He declared an emergency and got re-oriented with the help of some military radar controllers who also warned him about fast-moving military traffic in close proximity. At the time, despite being a friend, we were too immature to do anything but mock him for doing so. In hindsight, he was more mature than the rest of us put together and deserves credit for putting his ego aside and doing the right thing. As both a former rookie pilot and subsequently a rookie sky-diver, I took risks where weather is concerned that were dumb. I imagine it probably catches everyone out at some time, and I am lucky that I get to look back at my stupidity with nothing but embarrassment and hopefully a certain amount of (well-earned!?!) wisdom.

    There are errors about the SOS code. The code must be transmitted as a signal and not as a sequence of three letters.
    This is the code as you show it: ... --- ...
    This is the right code, without spaces: ... --- ...
    You made the mistake by displaying the code AND with the sound.
    I would add a small clarification, the SOS code has not always been a distress call. Before the SOS existed the CQD.
    SOS has replaced the CQD because it is easier to recognize. ;-)

      Level of service provided by airfield ILS systems (also level of certification of aircraft receiving equipment) in regards to guidance to the ground. Affects decision height (I believe 200ft, 50ft and 0ft respectively).
      Also convenient naming scheme for visibility conditions - i.e. you can't land in CAT III weather if your aircraft is only CAT II certified, etc.

    So, is Pan Pan still an emergency and pilots should squawk 7700?

    • @samd2660
      @samd2660 5 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Pan-pan (or "urgency") calls are a way of pilots letting ATC know how urgent their situation is, so for example from highest to lowest priority for air traffic is: Mayday ("Emergency"), Pan-pan (and helimed flights fall into this category I believe), "Priority Landing", normal traffic.
      Interesting side note: ATC can assign you a different priority depending on what you've said the situation is, e.g. they might prioritise a medical emergency who's asked for priority landing over a pilot who's called pan-pan for engine vibration who can still fly if it gets worse; or perhaps they might give you priority because you've said engine trouble/alternator failure etc without ever explicitly declaring the need for priority (and you might even be asked to squawk 7700, who knows).
      Not a pilot but I _think_ that sums it up, and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong ;)

    • @sparkymax4290
      @sparkymax4290 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Seems to me squawking 7700 means that there is an emergency, whereas panpan is more like just a heads up, so no, I wouldn't think so. But I could be wrong.

    • @philliphargreaves1602
      @philliphargreaves1602 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Pan-pan is a call that you have a issue but it’s flyable for the time being. The example was a bird strike but engine was only vibrating whilst running, it gives the ATC a warning that you would be likely to return.
      Mayday is the emergency and that a engine has shut down or there’s a medical emergency that’s urgent so will definitely return and will need to go direct with no hold up

    • @Yotanido
      @Yotanido 5 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      pan-pan is not an emergency, it's an "urgency".
      Mayday: You are in a potentially life-threatening situation and require immediate assistance.
      pan-pan: You require assistance from ATC because of some special situation. Not life-threatening for you. Can also be used to inform ATC about emergencies of others. (You normally wouldn't use mayday for that)
      pan-pan is also used for anything that could develop into a life-threatening situation. The engine vibration is great example. It's not a huge issue at the moment, but the engine could fail at any time, which may or may not be worthy of a mayday call.
      Something else to consider: There are generally not a lot of repercussions of declaring an emergency (mayday). If you are not sure if you should declare one - do it. Too many pilots have lost their lives just because they didn't declare an emergency. (Almost out of fuel? That's an emergency!)

    Just to nitpick...
    It's either "m'aider" as part as a sentence ("Pouvez-vous m'aider ?") or "Aidez-moi".
    "M'aidez" on the other hand is never valid in French.

    I noticed your comment about your buddy and thought back to the sense of kinship we would feel from hearing the same voices all the time. Most paramedics wanted to visit us to put a face to the voice. We liked that. I'm wondering if pilots feel the same way about their air traffic controllers.
