FSS has a new trick, calling the contact number on your flightplan at or
BEFORE your ETA...


That happened to me once about 8 years ago. I was on a VFR flight plan to
Saranac Lake, but since it was a calm day I decided to take a circuit
around Whiteface Mountain before landing. I was about 10 minutes over ETA
when somebody called on Saranac Lake Unicom asking if I was on the
frequency, because Flight Service had called them to see if I'd arrived
yet.


If you were ten minutes over your ETA it didn't happen to you.
