Would it be possible to popup a reminder to close a flightplan? Could be triggered when plane is on ground and standing still or when closing Navigation. Normaly I fly without flightplan but when crossing borders I file a flightplan. If I land on an uncontrolled airfield I could forget to close the flightplan(just did). They send the police to check if the plane had landed an next day I got a lot of angry people in my face.

If SkyDemon knew you were flying on a flightplan, I would have no problem popping up an alert at the end saying don't forget to close it (unless you had landed in the UK, as mentioned). However we do not positively know this. I don't think there is enough of a demand for this to add an option for the pilot to tell us they're flying on a flightplan, just so that we can remind them to close it afterwards. After all, they're just as likely to forget to tell us!

The rubber band method propose above is brilliant, I think.

The notion of removing flightplan filing functionality from SkyDemon is ridiculous. Hundreds of flightplans are filed every day through SkyDemon.

Tim, if Skydemon is filing hundreds of flightplans every day then Skydemon must know that it is flying on a flightplan - right? I always use Skydemon to file flightplans so with the option of a reminder to close a flightplan there is no need to buy a rubber band :-). Even if one is not flying on a flightplan you could have the option to have a reminder - just like the reminder from Skydemon when making a crossborder flight and the reminder to certan countries to send a GAR.

Since a flightplan is a must when flying crossboarder the Skydemon reminder is super. What will happend if you do forget to file a flightplan when flying crossboarder - returning to home airfield, land at nearest, denied access to country, ......, ?

Worse things happen if you forget to close a flightplan, so please a reminder option. I have 4 other pilots saying the same, and they love Skydemon.

It is just a reminder - Skydemon is not to close the flightplan.
