if you are IFR and complete an IFR approach to a "towered" filed,
when the tower is open, the TOWER automatically cancels your
IFR when you taxi clear of the runway


If you are IFR and complete an IFR approach to a "towered" filed, when the
tower is open, the tower does nothing with regard to your IFR when you taxi
clear of the runway.

Mr. Tomblin said he files IFR because somebody else closes the flight plan
that way. Most fields do not have control towers.
