G-JYDS makes a distress call while working Bristol Approach. ATC want to move all the other radio traffic to Cardiff Radar whilst they are handling the situation with G-JYDS. How would the Bristol controller make this radio call?
-
A
Mayday, Mayday, Mayday, All Aircraft contact Cardiff Radar on 123.6, out
-
B
Bristol Approach, All Aircraft contact Cardiff Radar on 123.6, Mayday, out
-
C
G-JYDS stay on frequency, All other aircraft contact Cardiff Radar on 123.6, Mayday, out
-
D
Mayday, G-JYDS remain on this frequency, Break, Break, all other aircraft contact Cardiff Radar on 123.6, out
Looking at the correct answer in detail:
- Mayday, G-JYDS remain on this frequency, Break, Break, all other aircraft contact Cardiff Radar on 123.6, out
Mayday, G-JYDS remain on this frequency: The controller starts by confirming there is a distress condition for G-JYDS and instructs this aircraft only to remain on the frequency.
Break, Break: This phrase is used by a controller to separate two different messages made during a single transmission.
all other aircraft contact Cardiff Radar on 123.6: Now the controller is talking to all the other aircraft and instructing them to make the frequency change to Cardiff.
Out: This indicates that NO response is expected to this message - preventing all the aircraft from giving read back and so cluttering up the frequency.
