Lesson Organization

It is the responsibility of the pilot-in-command/formation

leader to ensure that the proper agency is notified of

flight termination

requires verbal closing of flight plans on the ground

through

Ground Control or, if not available,

Control Tower or,

Base Operations, i.e., turn in DD-175 at duty

At nonmilitary installations, the pilot shall close the

flight plan with flight service through any means

available

Local call to flight service

used if required with a flight service station

When appropriate communication links are

known or suspected not to exist at point of

intended landing, a predicted landing time in

lieu of the actual landing shall be reported to an

appropriate aeronautical facility while airborne
