Chilli Monster,
I know MATS1 as well as you do.
What I was trying to get across was, if unsure, declare.
Downgrade if you want to, or you don't feel you need further assistance. Not all pilots are as confident as you seemingly are.
I know a lot of pilots in the single crew MEP single crew environment. Some are extremely calm and measured. Those who aren't tend to be the ones who have less experience. As far as I'm concerned, I'm there to help whoever needs that extra attention to get it. Those who don't require it all the way..... I'm there for them too.
It's what I do. I've had the fire engines out for all sorts of situations, for pilots of all different levels of experience. At the end of the day, it's a judgment call. If the pilot sounds like they're on top of it, then fine. If they don't, they need all the reassurance they can get.

Reason: Crap grammar. My former English teacher would have had me shot at dawn for less.
