Common questions
What is the fastest SRC topic to revise first?
Start with Mayday, Pan-Pan, Securite, Channel 16, Channel 70 and DSC follow-up because these govern the highest-stakes decisions.
Do I need to memorise scripts?
You need the structure and wording, but understanding the priority and message order matters more than blind memorisation.
