Mayday, for example (8,6)

I believe the answer is:

distress signal

'mayday for example' is the definition.
(mayday is a kind of distress signal)

This is the entire clue.

(Another definition for distress signal that I've seen is " indication that urgent help is needed".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
