That should be the last thing - "aviate, navigate, communicate" is the
recommended order! Firstly, fly the plane and figure out where you are
and what obstructions exist below - then if there's still mental
capacity left when flying as a fair weather flyer stuck in IMC, then
worry about turning to 121.5 and calling mayday.
