Pre-takeoff checklist
I did my first solo XC today. Bit turbulent, but completed without issue.
I did a VFR flight plan for my first leg, and i also grabbed flight following on the way down as well. I had planned to close the plan after landing and taxiing, prior to taking off again. However, slightly throwing me off, the tower gives me a clearance of doing a 180 on the runway, back taxing at my discretion and do a 180 and cleared for takeoff. I had to read it back for clarification as it threw me off guard. After complying on take off i realized i didn't close my VFR flight plan. I Gain some altitude call up flight watch, who politely gives me the appropriate frequency for radio, who i call and they claim they have no record of a flight plan. From gps tracking, i believe this to be around 12:40-12:50. After looking up 1800wxbrief history tonight, i see the flight plan was closed by FS21 at 12:55.
So i am left to wonder, who closed it?
