New FSS Policy

But if they are just going to call the number several times until I answer
or close my flight plan they are wasting their time.

I wan them to wait a reasonable amount of time after my ETA and then call
whatever number I give them and if I or someone that knows I landed doesn't
answer I want them to call out the SAR.

Well, I was responding to the post about the fear of having the wife
getting
histerical because of the call from the FSS. I am assuming (maybe
incorrectly) that the FSS will attempt to call you cell number more than
once if they don't get you. After all, that's the only phone number on the
flight plan.

A freind of mine once forgot to close his VFR flight plan landing at an
uncontrolled field with only a payphone for "facilities." The FSS wound up
calling the town's public works maintenance department to verify he was on
the ground. Leaving his cell number would have probably averted that
situation.

So now you know--give them your cell phone number!

So who has a cell phone?

...and how would putting your cell phone number on a flight
plan help in the event that the flight plan actually has to
be used for its intended purpose?

Can it just be left blank?
