Narrative:
I failed to cancel our IFR flight plan when we landed. It was VMC out but hazy. Focused on checklist, getting off runway and taxiing which was good, then on passenger and what was going to be our next leg, but had gotten out of habit of canceling on ground and just forgot. I remembered about 30-40 mins later and called it in with FSS.
