What ATC and/or pilot
action toggles the action to closure?


Pilot: Lands.

ATC: Observes pilot land.

That's it. Flight plan is now closed.

Here's where I, and I suspect many others, have the hole in our
understanding. Isn't the flight plan in some FAA computers somewhere? And
doesn't some record need to be deleted? Maybe the plan will eventually
evaporate if no more action is taken? Surely it can't be deleted just
because Approach handed off to Tower - the pilot may need to fly a missed.
