The radio calls made by the copilot do not adhere to proper radio procedure calls for aviation. The call letter code is incorrect, not bearing any resemblance to an alpha code for the identifying flight and number, the order of making the Mayday call is incorrect, he should call Mayday 3 times first, then his identification, and the call for the pilot having a perceived heart attack should not be a mayday call, but a Pan, Pan , Pan call.

I've been in distress once in my flying career, it was in South Africa, shortly after takeoff, I couldn't even say the callsign of the aircraft I was so focused on the hill that grew in front of me...]
