What does the controller do with the strip when an airplane lands at a
tower equipped airport?


If it's a satellite facility, he'll drop the strip in the discard pile. If
it's a tower with a colocated radar approach the tower probably won't have a
strip at all. The last strip is printed in the TRACON and the tower gets
it's information from the BRITE.



If he/she discards the strip manually, then
that is taking an action. It isn't an action to close the flight plan,
but nonetheless, it is an action taken upon completion of the flight.


So what action does close the flight plan at a towered field then?



It wasn't clear earlier in the thread that ANYTHING was done upon
completion of an IFR flight into a tower equipped airport or a non-tower
airport for that matter.


Well, I explained what was done, you apparently don't buy it. That's okay
with me.
