Conversely, how thick will the ATCO's book of emergency turns be?

Given that different fleets within one operator may have different ETs, I'm struggling with the notion of the ATCO, having just received a Pan or Mayday call, having to look up what will happen next in an uncontrolled document, perhaps a very thick one.

However, now that there is a little more meat on the bone, I wonder whether, in fact, you have been passing this information to airport authorities, but it has not then been transmitted to ATCUs..?

It strikes me that emergency turns are a bit like met reports... They should be centrally decided and widely published. Then, for example, all the biz jet operators who do nothing whatsoever about obstacles in the NTOFP would be able to, and ATCOs and airport authorities would know what was going to happen...
