Off route descent to approach

[Say Again Over]

I think you are misinterpreting the data from the AIM, with specifics to making an approach I do not feel any more reporting is required, desired or recommended, I have operated in many non radar environments such as Alaska, Caribbean etc., if I would have made the report you think is necessary I think the response would be something like "you are cleared for the approach".

I am not against learning at all, happens all the time, you haven't supplied any information to make me change my mind, what you have quoted is a general practice for enroute operations. I also haven't supplied any information to support my view, only an opinion, waiting for some more views with an open mind though.

Sure would be nice if someone from ATC would be kind enough to respond to the original question.

Fair enough.
