"Passing traffic" has been mentioned a few times in this thread, what do you think is the definition of a UNICOM passing traffic information? Certainly a UNICOM wouldn't be able to say "ABC there is a C172 5 miles to the south at 2500' tracking 240" BUT a UNICOM would be able to say "ABC there is a C172 conducting circuits on 01" or "ABC there is an ultralight in the circuit on 24 and they are not radio equiped"
Do you think that that kind of "passing traffic" would be useful coming into an uncontrolled airfield?
