wrong phrase?
Maybe we should sit down with ATC and find a better word than Fuel Emergency. A Priority landing maybe. That word Emergency causes lots of people to do pre arranged things - like roaring to the airport in a fire engine. (In point of fact fire is the least likely problem if you run out of gas...)
It would mean a rule change but would at last create a clear procedure(s) if an aircraft calls for a Priority or a Fuel Priority landing. ATC would take the aircraft straight in and there the matter would end. No ambulances, bells or fire engines.
The green table stuff can be dealt with once the ship is down.

Oops - sorry, trod on your toes there - 4 minutes apart!
