Pan-pan
無線電通話呼號PAN-PAN是國際標準緊急信號,適用於乘坐船隻(包括艇和輪船等)、航空器或其它交通工具時,在通訊中表明遭遇緊急情況[1][2][3],但是程度在通訊時尚未嚴重到會對載具本身或任何人的生命即時造成危險[4]。該信號表明一種「准緊急事態」,它與「Mayday」(遇難信號)的不同在於,後者表明的情況更加急迫,在發出信號時就已可致載具損害或使人死亡[5] 。發出「pan-pan」呼號,意味着通知其它潛在援助者(可能是專門的緊急援助機構或者在附近的其它有人載具)存在緊急情況,而發出「Mayday」則是在呼救所有可以救援的單位立刻停止一切工作,以最快速度前去施救。
PAN-PAN在通訊中擁有僅次於Mayday的優先級。在摩斯電碼中,PAN對應的是緊急信號XXX(-··--··--··-
,以明確間隔重複若干次),於1927年的國際無線電報華盛頓公約中首次定義[6]。
用法
在通訊中正確的使用pan-pan,發出信號者首先要重複三次「Pan-pan」,接着表明通訊的對象,或者以「all stations」來呼叫接收到信號的所有單位,同樣重複三次。之後再表明自己的身份、位置和目前情況,以及若需要援助,還應提供所需援助的形式[1][7][8] 。
語源
與源自法語m'aidez或m'aider(venez m'aider)的「Mayday」一樣,pan-pan亦派生自法語單詞中的panne [pan],意為「故障」。 作為英語單詞,pan-pan中pan的發音則為/pɑːn/或/pæn/[9][10][11]。
英語中,根據PAN衍生出的三詞逆向首字母縮略詞,PAN可以解釋為possible assistance needed(需要潛在援助)或pay attention now(現在請注意)。在海事或航空無線電通訊教程中,這種逆向縮略經常被用來作為教導學員區分「Mayday」與「pan-pan」之間區別的記憶術[12][13][14]。
