🔍 Key Concepts

• GMDSS distress, urgency, and safety priorities and what each one is used for • How "PAN-PAN" (urgency) calls differ from "MAYDAY" (distress) and "SECURITÉ" (safety) • Which situations involve danger to life versus safety of navigation or communications

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In which of these choices is someone or something in trouble, but not in immediate danger of sinking or loss of life? • Compare which option sounds like routine navigation safety information versus a situation that needs prompt attention to prevent it becoming an emergency. • Which option most closely matches what a "PAN-PAN" call would be used for in real radio practice?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice best fits an urgent but not yet life‑threatening situation. • Eliminate any option that clearly describes distress (MAYDAY) conditions where life is already in grave and imminent danger. • Make sure you are not mixing up navigational safety broadcasts with personal or unit safety needing prompt assistance.
