Not required. Sometimes towers want to know when your clear their
airspace, sometimes they don't care.
Yeah, I used to tell Class D towers when I was clear all the time, till a
controller somewhat sarcastically responded "Uh, okay niner-niner-three."
From his tone of voice it was obvious that he really didn't care (and was,
in fact, somewhat annoyed that I called him), so I no longer bother.
Well it really depends on where you're at. Around here, two of the busier
Class D airports definitely appreciate a call when you're clear. I just pipe
up very briefly with, "53K is clear to the northeast" and usually get a
"frequency change approved good day" response. Can't hurt.
