That.
My understanding is that if you think you may land with less than FRF, you call Pan; if you know you are going to land with less than FRF, you call Mayday.
Question: Would "
be advised we will call PAN due fuel state in the event of further delay" be helpful to ATC? (and I know that, in the UK, this
will not get you priority handling).
