![]() "BDS" wrote in message .. . I lost an engine on a twin a few years ago and when I advised ATC and asked for vectors to the nearest airport I was asked if I was declaring an emergency. Being young, proud, and confident, I stupidly told them no. Then they asked if I wanted the "equipment" standing by. I stupidly told them no again, for the same dumb reasons. Then they asked the usual questions about how many "souls" were on board and how much fuel I had. After I gave them the fuel information they advised that they would "roll the equipment" for me anyway. What a nice reception I got - a whole line of fire fighting trucks and resuce equipment lined up and standing by as I arrived. Happily I didn't need them. So they still treated is as an emergency even though you declined to declare it as such when asked. So what's the point in asking if you wanted to declare? |
