Uh oh, ramp check!

Santa's gonna need s sleep study!

 

[JeffDG]

Ok we need to see your medical. Also we are investigating a complaint that you are getting compensated for flying. Cookies and milk are not exempt.

Not to mention the massive amount of "Goodwill" that he tends to accumulate.

Ho Ho Ho boys, you do know that I keep a naughty list, don't you?

Yes the regs appear to allow that, but the Chief Counsel...

 

[Everskyward]

Yeah, but still fun.

True, but when I saw my name as the OP I couldn't imagine what I had posted with that thread title.

Now I remember...

 

[JeffDG]

So, who's leaving Santa a CPAP instead of milk and cookies this year?

Whoa, cowboy. FAA doesn't have the jurisdiction here. Because the North Pole isn't a land mass, and the nearest populated place is Nunavut, Canada has rightful jurisdiction over the sleigh and its operator.

Russia had a sub plant a flag under the ice at the pole...

As far as I know, the North Pole is actually shared between the US (Alaska), Canada, Denmark (Greenland), Norway and Russia, maybe others too.

Oh, and the closest land to the north Pole is actually part of Greenland http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaffeklubben_Island

While Canada has to deal with airworthiness certification (I'm sure it's experimental) and pilot qualification (unless it's an N-numbered sleigh), the FAA does have jurisdiction for operations in USA airspace.

And if the airman visiting his AME explains that he is afraid of Santa, which box does he check on the MedXpress form that he's Claustrophobic?
