Santa's Flight Review

[Bidgee]

Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets regular visits from the

 

CASA Flight Operations Inspectors, and the CASA FOI arrived

 

last week for the pre-Christmas flight check.

 

In preparation, Santa had the elves wash the sled and bathe

 

all the reindeer. Santa got his logbook out and made sure

 

all his paperwork was in order. He knew they would examine

 

all his equipment and truly put Santa's flying skills to

 

the test...

 

The examiner walked slowly around the sled. He checked the

 

reindeer harnesses, the landing gear, and Rudolf's nose. He

 

painstakingly reviewed Santa's weight and balance

 

calculations for the sled's enormous payload.

 

Finally, they were ready for the check ride. Santa got in

 

and fastened his seatbelt and shoulder harness and checked

 

the compass. Then the examiner hopped in carrying, to

 

Santa's surprise, a shotgun.

 

"What's that for?!?" asked Santa incredulously.

 

The examiner winked and said, "I'm not supposed to tell you

 

this ahead of time," as he leaned over to whisper in

 

Santa's ear, "but you're gonna lose an engine on take-off.â€
