13. clear prop call

who does that achieve these days - why "call it"? - just look around
(what else is required). What purpose does calling it out achieve to
those in the plane. I feel it's antiquated. I just have a good look
around (the *outside*) to see that no-one is near to walk into the thing
when it's spinning.

I call OUT the storm window, not to anyone inside.

I see it as a courtesy to those who may be near enough to catch the
breeze or debris. I can't see behind my plane, so you never know.

Maybe it's not a life or death thing, but what can it hurt?
