The first part leads the user through the DSC Alert and the second part shows the spoken Mayday procedure.

This Mayday Procedure Card provides a logical routine to follow.  It helps to ensure that your Mayday Call to be sent in a calm and measured fashion.

As with the rest of the Cockpit Card series this is printed using light-fast ink. It is then encapsulated with a heavy duty plastic for years of cockpit use and abuse. This card is next to the DSC VHF radio on thousands of vessels.
