here in the UK the way a VFR flight plan works is that the pilot
nominates a responsible person (family member, FBO etc) to make the call
if they are overdue rather than have the ATC make assumptions. The basis
is that no news is good news.


That's the way most of us who don't file flight plans do things over here.


I only file a VFR flight plan when I have to either when travelling over
water or across and international boundary.

Travelling to France one needs to telephone on landing to close the flight
plan. The French will send you a bill for a needless SAR callout, usually
about $15000, but returning to the UK the process is a whole lot simpler.
