We have an instruction stating we should not close a FPL on behalf of the pilot......after all what is the most dangerous part of the flight? The final approach and landing, no use closing a FPL saying the flight has landed safely whilst he has stuffed the aircraft into the side of a mountain!!! The best option is to remind the pilot of the AFPEX telephone number and ask him to phone them on landing to close the FPL.
