Hi,Yesterday, I flew a flight in Finland from Helsinki (EFHK) to Kuusamo (EFKS) for my virtual airline in FS9. I flew under IFR rules using the default ATC (no control in IVAO at the time). Kuusamo does not have a manned tower, just an AFIS frequency so I was wondering what would happen about the approach. In the event, on entering the EFPS (Finalnd North) sector, the ATC just cancelled my IFR plan... FS9 ATC had been 'acting wierd' anyway so I'm not sure if that's the normal procedute of the default ATC in this scenario, to just cancel the IFR upon entering the final sector?Cheers,Geoff

The FS9/FSX ATC system does not even know what AFIS is.It will most likely interpret AFIS frequencies as unicom frequencies, which means they will cancel your flightplan and you need to continue visually, announcing your intentions on that frequency in EFKS, just like flying to an untowered field.

Center should control you, though there isn't any way to close your plan when you land.scott s..

By AFIS do you mean UNICOM?I'm not sure what FS ATC would do, but in the real-world when you land at an uncontrolled field on an IFR flight plan, you would have to either pull up the Flight Service Station (FSS) frequency on the radio while you are taxiing in to cancel your FP with them, or get out your cell phone after shutdown and manually call FSS to cancel your IFR and tell them you're on the ground at your destination.

@JET 1 : Ok, that's what it looked like so no unexpected behaviour of the sim there - good to know...@E6BAv8r : IRL, AFIS is somewhere in between full ATC and UNICOM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_Information_Service) but yes, in FS terms it is effectively UNICOM...Geoff

A phone'll do it:)
