🎙️ Minimum Fuel vs Fuel Emergency — Aviation English Beyond the Checklist (AVA052)

When should a pilot report "Minimum Fuel" and when is it time to declare "Mayday, fuel"? In this episode, we explore the crucial difference between these two ICAO expressions, why they are not interchangeable, and how precise communication can make all the difference in flight operations. Using Avianca Flight 052 as a case study, we'll see how one accident reinforced the importance of standard ICAO phraseology and clear pilot–controller communication.
