Firstly I'm not after any confidential or sensitive information, I'd just like to know what happens behind the scenes! I'm also aware that answers will vary depending on the exact situation.
So imagine a radar controller at a UK regional airport, providing an ATS to aircraft in the vicinity of the airport and surrounding airspace.
One of the aircraft on frequency suggests he has a problem, let's say a rough running engine and declares a pan.
On receiving the pan call, what is the controller's typical immediate reaction and subsequent actions?
Thanks,
Rich
