Hi everyone
So today is th first of May. We can also call it MayDay. This makes me remember of the history of the aviation emergency call very well known as "Mayday - Mayday - Mayday". Did you know that this expression was actually used by a french pilot as "venez m'aider" (meaning: come and help me) during an distress situation, but it was understood as Mayday by the English operator. Finally the expression had become official since washington conference 1927 for the "International Radio Telegraph Convention". Beside their is another official expression for urgency which are not as dramatic as mayday. It is called "Pan Pan" (which you have to pronounce 3 times on the radion prior to sending your message).
The aim of these Emergency introcuction is not to "cry of the frequency", and they are pointless if they are followed by a detailled message of your problem. They are made to focus the attention of everyone on the frequency about what you're going to say next.
