NO! - for a very good reason - When your engine stops, you know the drills and you will have enough to work out without trying to disect the situation and thinking up what R/T you are going to use when the time comes.
Mayday at the appropriate time every time.
Disagree.
No blanket rule is going to cover the situation which is why, in their wisdom, the UK CAA haven't made it a "rule" to broadcast a "mayday" in the event of an engine failure in a MEP.
Normally you love quoting rules, DFC, but in this case you're wrong. There isn't one [a rule] and nor should there be.
