Regarding Pan calls. Please heed the words of Beamer and Mondriver. They're providing hard won experience from their own companies' operations.
I know with absolute certainty that both can quote examples extensively and on a worldwide basis.
The rule of thumb they and their colleagues have discovered has been noted above. Pan is in the vocab of controllers of anglo influenced, trained or speaking nations, some european countries and areas like the Middle East with a strong core of ex-pat ATC staff. Anywhere else is a recipe for a baffled silence.
