At an uncontrolled field there is no way we know you are down until you cancel on the ground... no one can be cleared in behind you until you cancel. Canceling int he air saves you a call and keeps our ops running.

I have heard stories of the FAA sending the local police out to uncontrolled fields to look at tail #'s to see if the plane got in. You shoot the approach, you don't go missed and we don't get a cancellation... after a specified time passes you a declared overdue...
