Inbound on the visual?

Right way to communicate with Tower

I had this same sort of thing happen to me yesterday, here is what @Boodz_G told me… Thanks for contacting me! The reason I told you to CHP is because you called inbound on the ILS 13 which is incorrect. ILS and Visual require approach ATC which in this current case wasn’t available. So unless there is an approach ATC, you should call inbound for landing.* Hope this helps…
