From a sim and distant memory of air law. The number 33% sticks in my head. I can’t remember if it’s 33% or more or more than 33% loss of power then a mayday is mandatory. 1 Donk out of 2 mandatory mayday. One Donk out of 4 pan or just continue depending (mayday is also an option, it’s always an option as I found out in China last year when they wouldn’t let us around a particularly nasty cell due to “regulation”)I can’t remember if a dc-10 md-11 or a 727 is a mandatory mayday or not. Hence the 33% or more than 33% confusion
