PAN PAN call when fuel is ESTIMATED to be less than 30 min
on touchdown.

The MAYDAY call when fuel is GOING TO BE less than 30 min
on touchdown.

Co or the local AIP regs may differ on the timing of the calls
- some may want ATC aware of a possibly potential low fuel
state if 30 min is estimated for touchdown.
