Santa Claus, like all pilots, gets regular visits from the Federal Aviation Administration, and it was shortly before Christmas when the FAA examiner arrived.

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.

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 checkride. Santa got in,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, but you're gonna lose an engine on takeoff."

The FAA would never allow this. Santa doesn't have a type certification for his sleigh, so he is using an Experimental Aircraft for commercial purposes. If he does have a type certification, then he needs the STC for adding Rudolph.

He probably doesn't have an airworthiness certificate for the sleigh either. Or a transponder, or full IFR equipment. If he doesn't, he can't fly at night, in bad weather, or especially into a major city with an international airport.

And do you really think that that overweight old man could pass a FAA medical check for commercial pilots? With all the cookies he eats, he is probably diabetic. That means no medical.

Landing on rooftops would be strictly forbidden.

And last, but not least.....

The rednecks would get out the shotguns and practice skeet shooting. Then have venison for Christmas dinner.
