"MAYDAY vs PAN PAN" Why do pilots use these CALLS? Explained by CAPTAIN JOE

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. The worst one I heard was “NODUF, Sunray Tango 4 has been killed. Tank slipped from bridge”. What that meant was D squadron leader has killed.

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. If anyone has better sources that contradict this, please let me know.

Hey Captain! I belong to an astronomy club, we use Lasers to point out stars to the kids. Always used responsibly, if there is an aircraft in the vicinity we turn them off. CQD was the original SOS message. Great video Captain. Inspirational! RgY! 💯👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@pedrosmith4529]

Same here, I am an amateur astronomer and I use a laser pointer, with ALL the precautions. I really fear when stupid people start using lasers in an irresponsible way because sooner o later they are going to ban them for everyone.

[@pluto8404]

It is especially useful in pointing out those moving stars with blinking lights...

[@alexku8452]

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.

[@meeperdudeify]

any particular reason why you can't go back?

[@virtualcolditz]

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]

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.

[@XPlaneAviation]

The indications in the cockpit at the moment of transmission did not indicate an immediate life threatening situation.

This is my first viewing of any of your videos. I learned a lot, and appreciate the clarity of your instruction. I am subscribing.

[@sg39g]

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. ;-) SOS: ...---... CQD: -.-. --.- -..

[@cygnusx-1318]

Very interesting! Thanks. I recall in tech writing the difference between Warning and Caution, the difference being threat to equipment and threat to life. Not the same thing. But I remember a lot of weird things and though Pan-Pan was only used on yachts.

[@NetAndyCz]

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

[@samd2660]

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]

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]

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]

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!)

[@thierryvt]

@@sparkymax4290 you would be correct, squawking 7700 indicates you are experiencing an emergency. Source: am a pilot.

It means 1st cat, 2nd cat and 3rd cat... what is so difficult amigo?

Cat I is a mongrel. Cat II is a purebreed but not registered. Cat III is a purebreed registered with the American Kennel Association.

[@233kosta]

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.

Before I started watching I knew one thing about pan: Clear the airspace and don't bother us with radio

[@teksal13]

Wrong. Radio communication is essential.

[@tseesium]

As you can see. This is a good example that you can forget things easily if they don't have much interest for me.

[@keepernod2888]

​@@teksal13 - Wrong. MAYDAY commands radio silence on the frequency in use. Urgency communications have priority over all other communications except distress, and the word PAN-PAN warns other stations NOT TO INTERFERE with urgency transmissions.

5:12 - I want to know more about planes dumping fuel. Is it really not an issue to rain thousands of gallons of fuel out of the sky?

[@douglasblasdell6132]

Not a pilot so i might be wrong, In order for planes to land they have to be below a defined weight, more weight means more stress on the airframe and more runway needed to stop. Also if a plane does crash you have a nice size fireball on your hands

[@donovan9356]

Alorand in order to dump fuel you have to be at least if I remember correctly 7,000 ft alt so it can evaporate before it gets to the ground any more question let me know I am a son of a airline family

[@emmaherron5121]

I literally came here from Air crash Investigation because I was watching the Qantas 32 one and the engine failed and I wondered why the pilot said ‘Pan, Pan’ and not ‘Mayday’. Great episode btw. I kinda like it because there are no deaths in that accident and I don’t feel bad for getting entertainment out of another’s misfortune.

[@tjm2212]

Hi Joe! Could you explain the difference between European and American procedures regarding ATC after an emergency? In both the BA and Thomson examples, the flight crew was telling ATC where and how they would be navigating with specific altitudes. I have never heard an American flight crew be so direct and take full responsibility for their own nav. Is this SOP for European or British airlines? Thanks

[@amlangupta3513]

That was one of the things I really admired about the BA crews' handling. I'm sure if there were any issues (e.g. terrain), ATC would have told them, otherwise the pilots say what they want and ATC gets to provide it. Agree with you that unfortunately have heard several cases where an American crew was hesitant or deferential. Kind of ironic.

Shoulda' mentioned that pan pan and mayday calls aren't exclusive to you wing jockeys...it's also sop for nautical vessels in distress. The big difference is that, as a sailor, I can make my calls in a pirate accent. If a pilot tries that, questions as to their sanity and competence will quickly arise.
