Rvsm?

[cj610]

What is the best sorce of information about flying in RVSM airspace? I know RVSM covers most of the North Atlantic and Europe, but is there RVSM in South Atlantic or N. and S. Pacific? I guess RVSM is comming to the states soon. What is the latest news on that?

I don't know if this would be the "best" source of information, but there is alot here. It's from the FAA's website, but there is information about RVSM in other parts of the world, as well as the proposed Domestic RVSM program.

One good starting point is CAP 493 - Manual of Air Traffic Services Part 1, available from the UK CAA web site: http://www.caa.co.uk/publications/publicationdetails.asp?id=222

Hi!

There's also RVSM in N. Canada, and there is in the Pacific-West coast headed westbound.

N. America is scheduled for Jan 2005 for the start of RVSM.

There is a pretty good thread on this subject, I think in the "Corporate" sectin of FLight Info.

PS-The Falcon 20 I'm flying will cost about $150K to upgrade, apparently.
