With reference to today's St Helena Independent, some news about the next calibration flight:

The second round of Calibration Flights is planned to take
place between Sunday 13 December and Sunday 20 December
2015. The calibration flights are essential to calibrate
navigational aids at St Helena Airport in order that Instrument
Flight Procedures can be flown safely.
The calibration tests will be undertaken by Flight Calibration
Services Limited who will travel to St Helena on an aircraft
leased from TAB in South Africa.
Whilst final confirmation on timing is still awaited, the aircraft
is expected to arrive on the afternoon of Sunday 13December,
subject to suitable weather conditions and other factors.
Further updates, particularly on the timing of the flight, will be
provided in due course. Interested members of the public are
asked to listen out for radio updates.

Lets hope that the navigation and landing aids are in the right position this time!
