I’m not sure QF procedures but at CX a severe engine failure, engine fire and depressurisation followed by an emergency descent all require a Mayday call. Once the fire is out and/or the emergency is under control we can downgrade to a Pan call. A simple engine failure i.e. an engine wind down only requires a Pan.
