Some people seem to have preference of pan-pan over mayday. Is there some extra ”costs” (paperwork, etc…) involved in their operational envioroment? Or what’s the reason to restrain from mayday?
I ask this, because in my enviroment it’s either mayday, if I want something from the ATC, or if not, then ”For your information we have… and request…”). Only time I would use pan- pan is if I didn’t have emergency onboard but needed to cut in between transimissions.
