mig3. Yes, I know that I can't assume that others would check the approaches. In my limited experince, some VFR lighties can't even understand a quadrant / distance, rather over Bob's place at 1700' and maintaining.
I am of the view that the Jet/IFR crew is quite busy approaching the RNAV flyover/IAF, whether VMC or IMC and the extra broadcasts are adding to the workload anyway. I believe that the VFR crews are under a little less workload and as a result could ensure that if they think they are conflicting traffic to vacate the area or ask for clarification.
We have two rather separate opinions, but it seems that we are both agree about the communication but the difference lies in where it originates. Ah well.
Merry Christmas
