Confusion around Closing FPL using SD

Group: Forum Members Posts: 50, Visits: 39	If I log-in to the SD website and go to 'Manage Subscritpion'-->'Manage Flightplans' I can see the FPL's I created in the SD app. I can close an fpl there. On a recent flight I asked the tower to close my flightplan (which I had filed through SD), which they did. I logged-in to the web-page some time later and the options were still Cancel/Close for that fpl. I closed it through the app just in case, and it showed the status closed. What does SD actually do to close an FPL?‌ Does it matter if I close one that's already been closed by someone else?‌‌ Also, why doesn't it know that the fpl is already closed? I cannot see how SD then knows that the fpl is really closed when it closes it itself. The final question is that if I close an FPL using the SD web page, and it shows status 'Closed' , am I 100% sure it is really closed? Does anyone out there use the fpl close function exclusively ? Does it always work ? ‌‌Input appreciated. ‌‌

The FPL was opened by the information service in-flight. After landing I immediately closed the FPL via SD .. and got a 'Confirmation of Closure' email. About 10 minutes later Reims control called me on my phone number and asked if I had landed safely. Obviously they hadn't seen that my FPL had been closed. Looks like they are not yet sufficiently aware that FPL's can be closed 'direct' with Eurocontrol without going through the local system (just my guess).
