Phrase "landing runway" vs. "cleared to land"

If they do
regulate, I'd bet money on the rule requiring IFR pilots to announce
position rather than the FAA requiring IFR knowledge from VFR pilots.
The FAA currently has a non-regulatory advisory that recommends IFR
pilots include distance and direction from the airport in their position
reports:
"Pilots who wish to conduct instrument approaches should be particularly
alert for other aircraft in the pattern so as to avoid interrupting the
flow of traffic. Position reports on the CTAF should include distance
and direction from the airport, as well as the pilot's intentions upon
completion of the approach."
From section 7 of:
