From: Dunno ... what day is it?
I'm with FFF.

I initially called a mayday, because I wasn't sure whether I could maintain height or not. We had just dirtied up and were in an orbit due to a slow aircraft ahead on approach. Gear up, descended a little to increase speed and bring flap up, able to make the field so I downgraded to a pan. But I was VMC and at 4000' on approach, enough height but also close to the airfield, ideal place for an engine to stop if you have to experience it.

The second time I didn't call anything, because I had just taxied off the runway, and a PA31 will taxy on one. Just.
