DAPT;
Standard operating procedure in an emergency as I have been trained military and civil is to broadcast Mayday call while while executing emergency procedure.
Failure to do so in training would result in repeating exercise correctly. It is pretty well ingrained as a result.
If that's the way you think you'll be able to do it fair enough DAPT, however it is well known that we can't concentrate on 2 things at the same time, we can multitask, but not concentrate on more than one thing at a time. Throw in an unexpected or multiple emergency and I'll bet that call gets shoved to the back of the list. My training involved putting out a call, if there was time, once the situation allowed.
Eric, nice post. Flying around our local city the other night, I was under no illusion that if I managed to get a call out, the first thing after the Mayday & c/s would be the problem/symptoms. Not SOP I know!
