New 'Mayday' and 'Pan-Pan' Cockpit cards

Posted on 24th February, 2020

We are pleased to  introduce our new radio procedure forms for announcing a 'Mayday' or 'Pan-Pan' radio emergency request for assistance.

 

Our Radio Emergency Mayday and Pan-Pan Cockpit Cards takes the user through the spoken Mayday and/or Pan-pan procedure, and each type of distress call is treated separately. The forms need to be kept near your VHF/DSC radio either in the cockpit or at the radio station below deck. The essential details such as Vessel Name, Call Sign and MMSI identification number is filled in by the user so that they will be ready for instant use should the need arise. The procedure can then be read out by the person making the call, in a calm and controlled manner, who may not be the skipper or indeed have any training in making such calls, thereby making the call in the correct protocol required by the Coast Guard.

 

As with all of our Passage Planner forms they are waterproof and supplied in matt finish both sides, each form can be written on using a 2B pencil and easily erased with a rubber eraser. Can be used time and time again. Supplied as 2 pages in 1 encapsulated pouch.
