+# 4. Distress & Urgency Messages
+## 4.1 General mayday procedures
+From time to time, aircraft may request to simulate emergencies. As a controller, you have the discretion to approve or deny these requests based on traffic levels, workload, and your experience.  
+
+- **Distress Messages**: The word *“MAYDAY”* spoken at the beginning of a transmission identifies a distress situation.  
+- **Urgency Messages**: The word *“PAN PAN”* spoken at the start of a transmission identifies an urgency situation.  
+
+Ideally, *“MAYDAY”* or *“PAN PAN”* should be spoken **three times** at the start of the initial distress or urgency call.  
+
+### Transmission Priorities  
+1. **Distress messages** take priority over all other transmissions.  
+2. **Urgency messages** take priority over all transmissions except distress messages.  
+
+Controllers should adjust phraseology and procedures as necessary, considering their specific operational needs and the time available.  
+
+### Elements of a Distress Message  
+A distress message should include as many of the following elements as possible, ideally in the order shown:  
+
+1. **Aircraft identification**  
+2. **Nature of the emergency**  
+3. **Pilot’s intentions**  
+4. **Position, heading, and altitude**  
+5. **Any other pertinent information**  
+
+!!! example
+    **Pilot**: "MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY, DOHA RADAR, BRITISH AIRWAYS 1 2 3, LEFT ENGINE FAILURE, REQUEST TO LAND AT HAMAD, 10 MILES NORTH EAST OF HAMAD AIRPORT, ALTITUDE 8,000 FEET."
+
+    **Controller**: "BRITISH AIRWAYS 1 2 3, MAYDAY ACKNOWLEDGED, TURN LEFT HEADING 210 DEGREES, DESCEND TO ALTITUDE 2,500 FEET."
+
+    **Pilot**: "TURN LEFT HEADING 210 DEGREES, DESCEND TO ALTITUDE 2,500 FEET, BRITISH AIRWAYS 1 2 3."
