Have you actually done that? It's my understanding that ATC won't accept
an IFR cancellation via an aircraft relay.


I haven't done it recently -- not for the past three or four years.
However, I have done so in the past (just once or twice) and I've been on
both sides of the relay -- once I was the a/c waiting for the cancellation
so I could get in.

Maybe it's controller/location specific.
