It seems slightly bizarre to me that some of you are arguing that declaring a PAN in regard to fuel state would not require the approriate response from the emergency services. There seems to be an (erroneous, imho) asumption that a PAN call is just some grey area to be used if you have some doubt about making the field with the legal reserves. Just using the weather conditions from yesterday as an example, the chances of going missed were extremely high, the chances of the diversion now being marginal were far higher, so if you add low fuel to that equation, I for one would be relieved to know that the emergency services were in place and aware of my predicament.
