And then what good is the 48 radio calls you just made if there's no one
there?


The inbound IFR over the IAF can hear you, if desired. Inbound to airport,
I monitor the CTAF from 25 miles out, if possible. This may very well be
the reason for the "any traffic advise please" line, because someone thinks
they are all alone.

Before I get beat up for that, I was reading the NTSB investigation on the
Quincy, MA accident involving a 1900C and a biz jet. The use of the
despised phrase appears to be recommended as described in the report.
