He might go through the duration of the spell, not knowing he could.

The caster had better tell the subject that he can fly.
That could be said of many spells. Will the subject know that they now have Acid Touch, Hammertouch, or that they can Breathe Fire? Will they know that they now enjoy magical protection like Reverse Missiles, Fireproofing, Shock Shield, or Stone Flesh? Will they know that their DX has been boosted by Aid such that they might seriously consider an aimed shot or sweeping blow? Will they know that they have Speed Movement unless they try to move faster? Or will they notice that they are the subject of Unnoticeability, Invisibility?

Knowledge of any of those is almost certain to affect what actions players choose for their characters. If one requires a wizard to notify someone that they can fly before allowing that character to utilize the spell, similar notification might be required for other spells.
