Post Approval given for non compliant flight plan
This report just in from ABC Online News:

Quote:

Air traffic controllers clear Santa for landing

Air Services Australia says it is making preparations for a special flight into Australian air space tonight.
Spokesman Rob Walker says they are expecting Santa late tonight, and staff are ready to track him on radar.
"He's actually going to head down the international dateline before making a big right hand turn and heading across the Pacific towards Australia," he said.
"We're expecting him to make landfall in Australia somewhere after midnight.
"He's not been too precise at this stage obviously letting us know that he needs to keep a little bit of magic and secrecy about what he's doing."
I look forward to following watching this amazing event on Webtrak! The real reason for the 40 minute delay is, of course, because you're not allowed to see Santa in real time.

Is SANTA1 an -ER or not. Is it classed for ERROPS (Extended Range Reindeer Operations)? How many classes does it have? What about IFE? Does Nigel know what Bay it will go to after landing?
