Which term indicates the cancellation of a flight plan?

• A. Cancel
• B. Arrival
• C. Departure
• D. Flight Plan

Answer: (A)

Canceling a flight plan is the action used to withdraw a previously filed plan with ATC. When a flight is called off, you or the operator issue a cancellation so ATC knows the aircraft will not proceed on the planned route, preventing unnecessary tracking and freeing airspace. The other terms describe either the event of reaching or leaving an airport (arrival, departure) or the plan itself (flight plan), not the act of stopping or withdrawing it. So the term that indicates cancellation of a flight plan is cancel.
