70% to passWhat is the spoken emergency signal for a "man overboard" on the VHF radio?
A
Pan-Pan
B
Security
C
Mayday
D
Man Overboard
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) Pan-Pan. The spoken emergency signal for a "man overboard" situation on the VHF radio is Pan-Pan. This is because a "man overboard" is considered an urgent situation, but not an immediate life-threatening emergency. The Pan-Pan signal is used to indicate an urgent situation that requires assistance, but does not meet the criteria for a Mayday distress call. In contrast, Mayday is reserved for immediate, life-threatening emergencies. Security and "Man Overboard" are not recognized as standard emergency signals on the VHF radio.
