Module 7 - Urgency & Safety Calls

Choosing the Right Priority

The priority ladder is Mayday, Pan-Pan, then Securite. Choosing the right one prevents both under-reporting and unnecessary distress traffic.

If the situation worsens, upgrade the call. If it becomes grave and imminent danger, use Mayday.

Key points

  • Mayday: distress
  • Pan-Pan: urgency
  • Securite: safety information
