1. Without a doubt and also CAT A status since I want my pressies

2. Depends which reindeer he's using probably RVSM most years but only CAT 3 equipped with Rudolph

3. At the start of the night he'll be a heavy reducing to light as he delivers

4. 160 to 4 not a problem, slows right up near the chimney though, be aware for following traffic and don't push a tight gap

Sorry HD, completely automated so the early morning flights don't hear conversations on the sups desk any more!

ps the fun has sort of gone out of ATC in the last few years.

CAS-T? If the Pope does, then Santa should, after all they are about as believable as each other
