It appeared to be a long time since last hearing from ATC on a recent

and they transferred me to a local approach control.

Anybody ever just call them up to see if they forgot about you? I did
that once over Toledo.


My CFII told me that I could just ask for a radio check, although I don't
see that in the Pilot/Controller Glossary.

I usually just call with something like. "NY Center, N12345, it sure is
a quiet night, isn't it?" Some things just don't require a consultation
of the Pilot/Controller glossary. :-)
