Just wondered, I believe that supersonic is usually prohibited over land, just wondered if QRA were allowed to ignore this rule, or whether it would have to be authorized "per job" as it were.
From the 2012 Gazelle incident.

Authorisation was given for one of the Typhoons to transit at supersonic speed over land, which resulted in the sonic boom heard by the public.
