In a lot of cases that isn't possible because the pilot is on the CTAF frequency, not the approach frequency. I routinely make calls to FBOs looking for aircraft that never canceled as it is. Some of these guys have been flying into these airports for years and have never had to worry about cancelling, and someone will forget.
