Why is this such a major issue in Australia? I spent 13 years happily declaring Maydays for EFATOs in the sim and downgrading to a PAN without comment in Europe. Got here and all of a sudden I now have to make a judgement call at 400’ while I’m trying to get the plane to fly in a straight line and climb without having assessed what caused the engine to stop as to what emergency services I might need. Then again reading that ATSB report I might have my answer.
