Can you change your callsign to 'Medevac' and what does it mean?
Ladies and Gents,
I heard a flight the other night change his callsign from "__123" to "__123 Medevac". He had a sick pax on board and wanted some sort of ATC priority. I thought:
a. You could only call your self a Medevac flight / callsign if you'd specifically took off as a Medevac flight, and
b. If you had an 'emergency', even medical, you had to use either PAN PAN or MAYDAY.
I'd love to know the answer please. FYI, ATC used the callsign back to him and did not question it.
Regards
JJ
