Pan-Pan is an international radio signal that alerts others of a serious emergency on board a plane, boat, or other vehicle, but does not pose an immediate threat to the vehicle or the people on board. While someone may use Mayday when a plane is about to crash or there’s a fire on a ship, Pan-Pan could mean a boat has a slow leak or there’s a problem with a plane’s engine.
