No. I assume the ATC computers know which airports are non-tower.



Why does that make a difference?



For non-tower airports, I'd require the controller or FSS specialist to
close the flight plan when the pilot radios or calls in.



That's what's being done now. You said that was inadequate.



The difference is I'd have the computer flag an alarm if this didn't
happen. Doesn't sound like that is the case now.
