My but aren't we a little condescending. The "Rad Alt Alive" call is for more than just low visibility operations. It is a situational awareness call, as a reminder to the crew that they are approaching the ground. Anyone worth their salt should be verifying that the call is coming at the expected time and place, and not at a point where it is unexpected, thus being a possible indicator that they are much closer to terra firma than they think.
