[f-AA] #### any traffic please advise

[Markl]

One of my pet hates.  Folks who do their looking for traffic with their mouths.   Makes you feel good about no radio so you don't have to hear stuff like this.
Fly frequently and often,

  Heard the classic "any traffic please advise"
  on CTAF few days ago and a response of.......

  "AIM four one nine gulf over here"

  then nothing else, or any response to the miscreants repeated calls for more info.

  Piqued my curiosity, finally dawned on me to look it up
  see below....










  AIM
  4-1-9   Traffic Advisory Practices at Airports Without Operating Control Towers
  g. Self-Announce Position and/or Intentions 
  General. Self-announce is a procedure whereby pilots broadcast their position or intended flight activity or ground operation on the designated CTAF. This procedure is used primarily at airports which do not have an FSS on the airport. The self-announce procedure should also be used if a pilot is unable to communicate with the FSS on the designated CTAF. Pilots stating, "Traffic in the area, please advise" is not a recognized Self-Announce Position and/or Intention phrase and should not be used under any condition.
