But earlier in this thread, you said:

Yes, if he's not talking to the tower when he enters Class D airspace
he's
busted FAR 91.129(c)(1).


Now, you say that applies only if the pilot intends to land at the Class D
airport? Where is that distinction mentioned in the regs?


In FAR 91.129(c)(1).


§ 91.129 Operations in Class D airspace.
(c) Communications. Each person operating an aircraft in Class D airspace
must meet the following two-way radio communications requirements:

(1) Arrival or through flight. Each person must establish two-way radio
communications with the ATC facility (including foreign ATC in the case of
foreign airspace designated in the United States) providing air traffic
services prior to entering that airspace and thereafter maintain those
communications while within that airspace.
