This event is a good example of the difference between calling Mayday or Pan.

A Mayday has resulted in significant media attention whereas another QF operator has had 4 engine failures (on 2 engine jet aircraft) in very recent times and only declared Pan resulting in no media coverage.

A ‘full emergency’ results in all the local boys around the airport finding out and calling the media.
