RAFAC Briefing ahead of Festive events

Is it a solo flight for Santa when the sleigh is pulled by reindeer or do they count as aircrew? For Blue, he’d have to complete the approved sleigh simulator part as well, of course.

Unfortunately because he got his Sleigh PPL from the North pole Aviation School, which isn’t recognised by 2FTS he doesn’t get to wear the gold wings

Is this PMEable? I can’t work it out on the flowchart…

Organised body of personnel on a route - parade.

Carrying a wide selection of often dangerous goods - arms.

Better get the appropriate SMS application in ASAP.
