What should be communicated to KGWO tower in the case of a visual approach?

Communicating the aircraft's location and intent to make a visual approach to the KGWO tower is essential for several reasons. This allows the tower to maintain situational awareness of the aircraft's position relative to the runway and to other traffic in the area. When a pilot informs the tower about their intentions for a visual approach, it enables air traffic control (ATC) to provide the necessary spacing and sequencing for safe landing, particularly in busy airspace. Additionally, this communication ensures that any required instructions or changes to the approach can be issued by the tower, contributing to a safer operational environment for both the aircraft making the visual approach and other aircraft in the vicinity.

The other options do not provide the essential information needed for safe tower operations. Altitude alone would not inform ATC about the aircraft's approach intentions, nor does a pilot's experience level correlate with the aircraft's operational needs in that moment. Similarly, while knowing the time of an approach may have some relevance, it does not convey the vital information about the pilot's intended action of executing a visual approach.
