The rest of the world are unencumbered with this atom splitting approach, and allow a fair amount of common sense.
ok, for the sake of the slow of reading in here I’ll state it again.
I’ve had medical emergencies in Oz and overseas..........etc etc.
One into Melb and I requested and was given priority.....As I was In ADL years ago.....
The last 2 in HKG.....same outcome.
Oz ATC aren’t stupid when you say the words “medical emergency”
I’m not saying it’s wrong to say PAN PAN but I’m my experience if you don’t it didn’t matter. Ok.
over and out....
