In another thread it was discussed about closing a flight plan in the air. I responded in that thread about a meeting I attended at the local uncontrolled field. This is to ask the ATC the response we were told.
When a plan is closed in the air, who gets credit for the flight plan? We were told that the towered field gets it instead of the uncontrolled field. Is this correct? I also have been asked by the controller if I want to cancel my plan once I indicated I had the field. I know this was more to assist me, but is this normal proceedure?
Needless to say that in last nights weather in NE OH they didnt ask if I wanted to cancel early even though I got the field at about 2 miles out. I think they wanted to make sure I was on the ground before closing it.
Thanks!!!
