| Since the Cessna does not have a flight-data recorder, investigators will interview the air-traffic controller who heard Brand's mayday calls. |
| Often it's required to go to the general area where the last mayday perhaps was reported and from there commence search operations, prior to the precise location of that incident. |
| Also like the Air France disaster, the pilots of AirAsia had no time to issue a mayday call. |
| A TOTAL of 117 migrants have been rescued off the western Greek island of Zante after their boat issued a mayday call. |
| In fact, the helicopter was on site 52 minutes after the initial mayday call. |
| Rescue helicopters and coastguards raced to the scene as the crew sent out a mayday alert before abandoning ship. |
