About this document
Understanding Pan-Pan and Seelonce Calls by Kimbungu Tigana is a document available to read on EtoBox.
"Pan-pan" indicates an urgent situation of lower severity than a mayday call, often relating to mechanical or medical issues. The term "declaring emergency" is sometimes used in aviation but is discouraged in favor of standard calls like "pan-pan" and "mayday" to avoid confusion. Additionally, "seelonce mayday" and "seelonce feenee" are used to manage radio communications during distress situations, signaling when the channel is reserved for emergency traffic and when it can return to normal use.
