Actually... the mantra I read the other day, from a pilot that proposed the basic theory I gave... he said that in case of fire they are taught to aviate, navigate, communicate... in that order. Meaning, the first priority is to keep the bird in the air. Second priority is to set it on course to somewhere you can set it down. Last priority is to tell the people on the ground because in reality.... there isn't a damn thing they can do for your present problem other than watch.
Obviously if you get things under control sufficiently that you can radio the tower, you would do that... but to me a fire a my feet would be a lot higher on the priority list. It doesn't do a lot of good to radio your position and situation when making that decision might well be the difference between keeping the thing flying and certain foundering. Sure, they'll know roughly where to find ya, but you're still dead.
