Filing to an IAF used to be a requirement, but went away 8-10 years ago. It was in FLIP GP ch4 (Military Flight Info Publication General Planning)

I still do it as heads up to the controller to let them know what I will probably do if NORDO. I also look at the weather to determine the most likely runway in use. When I teach students, I emphasize this is technique only.
