Before the painful plane crash held in Ahmedabad on Thursday, that pilot of Air India flight said several times from Air Traffic Control i.e. ATC in code word- Mayday! Mayday! Mayday! After all, how much do you understand the meaning of this call? Actually, Made! Medade! Medade! This is the call that no flight pilot would ever want to do. Because it means trouble. Big trouble! The word Medade is used to call crisis through radio communication worldwide. According to Wonderopolis, the Made indicates an emergency with a lifetime. However, it can also be used in many other situations.
Medade is called three consecutive times
According to the information, according to the process, the Medade crisis signal should be called three times in a row – Medade! Medade! Medade! So that it is not understood by any other word or phrase that looks similar in noisy circumstances. A common crisis will start with a call medium which is repeated three times. After this, all the information required will be given to the potential rescuers, including the type and identity of the aircraft, the nature of the emergency, the location or the last known place, the current weather, the remaining fuel, what kind of help and how many people are in danger.
How did the word mayday come
Mayday started in the year 1923 as an international crisis call. It was made official in 1948. According to Wonderopolis, it was the idea of Frederick Mockford, a senior radio officer at Croidon Airport in London. He got the idea of ”Medade” because this French word felt like M’Aider, meaning “help me.” Mayday call should not be taken lightly. In the United States, it is illegal to call fake crisis. Doing this may have to pay a jailor of up to six years and a fine of $ 250,000.
Sometimes a flight calls are sent by a flight to another plane in danger. It is known as Madde Relay. Medade relay is sometimes necessary when the plane in danger loses radio communication. If the Made call is repeated and not accepted, the call listening can try to relay it again and again until the second plane helps.
