If practicing an approach under the hood in VFR wx to
an uncontrolled airport, give your position in terms
that VFR only pilots can understand. Many VFR pilots
don't know what an outer markers or intersections are,
let alone their locations. Same goes for the IFR missed
approach procedure.



Advisory Circular 90-42F "Traffic Advisory Practices at Airports Without
Operating Control Towers" provides examples of self-announce phraseologies
for various situations. It provides the following for practice instrument
approaches:

"STRAWN TRAFFIC, CESSNA TWO ONE FOUR THREE QUEBEC (NAME-FINAL APPROACH FIX)
INBOUND DESCENDING THROUGH (ALTITUDE) PRACTICE (TYPE) APPROACH RUNWAY THREE
FIVE STRAWN"



How does that help a VFR pilot who not only has no approach plates but
doesn't even know what the final approach fix is? I usually state where
I am in relatio to the field, so many miles at a given direction along
with altitude and then mention that I'm on a practice approach.
