"Executive Terminal"

It's Bill Bohlke's house.
There is a sign up by the house that says "Did you remember to close your flight plan?"

what does "did you remember to close your flight plan" mean?
Thanks. Justin

i'm not Rotorhead, but I can answer. When flying longer distances, most pilots call the nearest FAA facility and file a flight plan. It gives the info about your plane, where you're going, who is flying with you, and your planned take-off and landing point and time. When you arrive safely at your detination, you call the same FAA facility and tell them you've landed -- you close your flight plan.

Linda is exactly right. Flight plans are filed with an FAA facility called a Flight Service Station. They handle filing, opening and closing flight plans and weather briefings. They can be contacted anywhere in the US at 1-800-WXBRIEF. They can also be contacted enroute. In the USVI you call San Juan Radio on 122.2 MHz or 123.65 MHz.

FYI - Bill Bohlke operates the FBO at TISX (STX) airport. They are the people who sell fuel, rent hangar space, provide flight instruction, etc.

A few years ago Ric and I flew (well Ric flew, I navigated) a cessna from Louisville, KY to visit my parents in Phoenix. It was quite an experience. Lots of flight plans were filed during that trip!

And closed.

Linda J and rotorhead thanks for the info. Justin
