Sciolistes- thanks for that - that crept up on me. Do you have a reference please?
The last I saw was "It should be noted that Pilots should not expect any form of priority handling as a result of a “MINIMUM FUEL” and I was not aware that all EUOPS countries had adopted this call (I am aware of Doc4444)?. I had noted that there is no longer any usage of PAN regarding fuel shortage in the amendment, simply MAYDAY - have all UK airlines changed their SOPs now?
The main lesson, whatever, is that pilots should NOT assume any priority on declaration of MF in Europe.
