You are confusing good common sense couple with a safe procedure with
what is "legal" and
acceptable by the FAA. : >)

Say what you want about the military but they did have a good

your aircraft, visually separating yourself from other aircraft,
and rock your wings repeatedly until you get a light from the
tower. Red you can break out and re-enter. Green continue your
approach and watch for lights.
I think most tower operators would understand a rocking the wings
signal even now.
