So you dodged my question. I'll assume that means that you realized you
were wrong ;-)


I didn't dodge your question, I thought the distinction you were seeking was
in what ATC facility to call. I never said it applies only if the pilot
intends to land at the Class D airport.



And why do you think the approach controller handing the area does not
meet this regulation?


Because approach control has no authority over VFR operations in Class D
airspace.
