And what is “mayday fuel“? Never heard of it. (Edited as I was clearly wrong about that).
On the other had there are lots of laws and regulations that are both helpful and not quite adequate to deal with every situation. and then there are places and people who just don‘t quite follow the regs anyway.
So that leaves you, with however much fuel you have, under whatever rules you are flying, in whatever environment you are flying, deciding how big a shout you want to make about your fuel situation.
Count to 20 and think about what you transmit…
