When you are tired of training, train some more. If I had just freaked out and screamed, the outcome might have been worse. About 9 seconds later(which felt like years) I was able to spin out of the tangle and the chute opened. My training took over and I started going through the procedures to hopefully open the streamer. My reserve was ready to be pulled, but what if that failed too? I was falling fast and could hear the chute flapping in the wind. Since this was a static line jump, the altitude was only 1400 ft up. The lines were so tangled that they criss-crossed the back of my neck and I could not look up. One of my last skydives I had a really bad streamer. People should train as realistic as possible. Training should include book and real world scenarios. When the SHTF you resort to your training and procedures. One of the biggest things I learned in the Infantry was to train, train and train some more. Is there any information online to read about these incidents? The second pilot sounded frantic, but if he had remained calm and followed his training…… The discussion of Mayday versus Pan begins at 13 minutes, 32 seconds in the show. There is a audio version of this discussion in my Radar Contact Show #39 “Timing is Everything in ATC Communication”.
For now, have you ever heard a distress call on the aircraft radio? I’ll have both Mayday and Pan-Pan situations for you to try in the Aircraft Radio Simulator. They may have helpful advice, but it is only advice. No one on the ground can do that for you. Remember, in either case, it is up to you to fly your airplane to the best of your ability. If you need immediate assistance to deal with a serious situation that is not life threatening, call Pan-Pan. If you feel your life is in jeopardy, call Mayday. Urgency communications have priority over all other communications except distress, and the word PAN-PAN warns other stations not to interfere with urgency transmissions. Distress communications have absolute priority over all other communications, and the word MAYDAY commands radio silence on the frequency in use. The signal PAN-PAN should be used in the same manner for an urgency condition.ĭ.
The initial communication, and if considered necessary, any subsequent transmissions by an aircraft in distress should begin with the signal MAYDAY, preferably repeated three times.

This is what the Aeronautical Information Manual has to say about using Mayday and Pan-Pan on the radio. Other emergencies that require immediate attention and assistance from the ground.A serious aircraft system failure, that requires an immediate route or altitude change.I separated the recording of each incident with two brief electronic tones.)Ī Pan-Pan call should be used for urgent situations that are not immediately life threatening, but require assistance from someone on the ground. (The two incidents are presented in one podcast.
The second is the radio transmissions of a pilot in a single-engined Cessna and a flight service station specialist at Fort Dodge. The first is an exchange between the pilot of a twin-engined Cessna and Jacksonville Center. Here are two recordings, released by the F.A.A., of Mayday radio transmissions, along with the response by air traffic services. Loss, or imminent loss of aircraft control for any number of different reasonsĮngine failure that will lead to a forced landing/ditching/ejection/bailout.
These may include, but are not limited to: It involves life and death radio transmissions that some listeners might find disturbing.Ī Mayday radio call should be reserved for life threatening situations. Warning: The following audio content may not be suitable for all listeners.
