EMERGENCY VOICE REPORTS

Emergency voice reports will be made in the Identification, Situation, Position, and Intention

(ISPI) format.

In a non-radar environment, emergency reports of an immediate or serious nature are preceded

by the word "MAYDAY." Emergency voice reports of a delayed or less serious nature are

preceded by the word "PAN-PAN." Repeating either word (as applicable) three times is the

widely accepted method of clearing the frequency for an emergency voice report. An example

of an emergency voice report of an engine failure in a non-radar environment is as follows:

"MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY! [Call sign], engine failure, seven miles northeast of

Brewton at 3500 feet. Intend to land in a farmer's field to the southwest."

In a radar environment, standard procedure for a distressed or urgent situation is to declare an

emergency. An example of an emergency voice report of an engine failure in a radar

environment is as follows: "[Call sign] is declaring an emergency. Streaming fuel, 10 miles

north of Corpus at 5000 feet. Executing emergency landing at T. P. McCampbell."

Regardless of radar condition, expect to inform ATC of fuel remaining in hours and minutes

(e.g., 1+00) and the number of people on board after delivery of ISPI information.
