He probably can, but why can't you use those resources? The first thing the
FSS specialist would have to do is figure out where 4F2 is, information you
should already have if you just completed a trip there. Then he'd have to
look up the field in the A/FD and determine what FSS to call, something you
should already know since you recently planned a trip there.


The way the system should work, is he types in your callsign and hits
the "cancel IFR" button. Should work from any terminal anywhere in the
world. But, I guess given that we're all flying airplanes with 1950's
technology, it's only fair that FSS is using 1950's technology too.
