I was about 25 minutes from my destination and I had to close the app. It said “this flight can be resumed” and after going back to the main menu, it can’t be resumed. This isn’t the first time this has happened to me.

This is why. You can only do it 30 minutes out or greater. Maybe you either read “can’t” as can, or maybe you checked it too early. For reference, there should be a green check when you pause the screen if you 100% can pause.

One additional thing to have in mind to (if it’s happened before regardless of you being more than 30 minutes out):
There’s one bug that results in Flight Resume failing, that occurs if you’ve ended the flight on tower camera option.

Right but it says flight can be resumed, and when that happened to me I thought that meant it would set me back to the 30 minute mark
If I were you, if I want to resume flight while the destination is less than 30 minutes away, I’d simply press the home button without ever pressing the Main menu. It’s a kind of bug that makes you return to about 30-35 minutes to your destination. Works 100% every time.

I think it’s meant to be like that in case your app crashes lol. Not necessarily a bug.

I recommend a better way then to simulate a crash: If you’re still in cruise but less then 30 min, just add another waypoint beyond your destination, that expands your flight plan above 30min. You can even do this when already descending and still above 28000. Just keep in mind to set VS to 0 for it to work. Once below 28000ft, theres no way back anymore
I will add that the exit flight dialogue box often says “this flight can be resumed” when it shouldn’t. I haven’t flown in a while, but I recall it occurring after ending most flights, regardless of whether I had satisfied flight resume conditions.
I’m guessing it’s a non issue though with AP+ coming soon.
