Depends on your performance category really.

The turboprop I fly has some pretty obscure emergency turn procedures to ensure terrain clearance (which ATC may not even be aware we plan to do), so in the event of an engine failure at V1, it would be mayday as soon as practical to advise our immediate intentions with standby at the end to give us time to sort ourselves out.

Engine failure at altitude would likely be a Pan.
