At Academy Tower, Ground Control shall pass requests to close VFR flight plans to which unit for relay to FSS?

• A. Local Control
• B. Flight Data
• C. Ground Control
• D. Tower

Answer: (B)

Flight Data handles flight plan information and communicates directly with Flight Service Stations. When a pilot at Academy Tower wants to close a VFR flight plan, Ground Control passes that request to Flight Data, which then relays it to FSS to officially close the plan. The other positions – Local Control, Tower, and the general Ground Control role – manage aircraft movements and clearances within their airspace, not the process of notifying FSS about closing a flight plan.
