Essentially? Makes it clear? Sorry, but the fact that ATC treats a
PAN-PAN as an emergency is *still* not as black and white to me as it is to
you, at least in terms of the AIM. Once again I will have to agree to
disagree with you, for I don't want to beat this horse any more.

If any good has come out of this discussion, it is that I am reminded of
the power of PAN-PAN, something I should have used but didn't last year
when one of my mags failed during flight.
