If you’ve miscalculated your fuel requirements (perhaps been surprised by unforecast winds) and you’re headed to an uncontrolled field outside controlled airspace (CTAF I think y’all call it there) who do you call to declare your emergency? Center? If HF equipped..the CTAF frequency? Will that tick the box..even if you’re the only one flying..then go ahead and land. Or do you have to work harder to ensure you’ve fully incriminated yourself?
