I bet a fiver that you can't find anywhere in writing from an official source where a pilot has been criticised for declaring a Mayday.

Thanks for the challenge, Av, but please remember what the topic of discussion actually is: should a 'MAYDAY' call be made in the case of an engine failure in a twin?
We're not disputing declaring an emergency (in the form of a 'PAN'), if the situation warrants it.
We're just saying (
again, as you don't seem to be actually reading our posts), that it doesn't automatically necessitate a 'MAYDAY' call.
Ok?
