If you are affected by RVSM, we can probably help you.   However, if you own a newer aircraft, you may find that the airframe manufacturer can support you more efficiently and cost effectively, especially if they have received Group Certification* on their airframe.   If the manufacturer of your aircraft is not supporting it, or if you would just like to explore other possible solutions, contact us and we will be happy to review your situation and offer you alternatives.

We currently support, or are evaluating the following aircraft:

Astra - SPX, 1125
Challenger - 600,601,604
Citation - I,II,III,V,VII
Diamond - 1A
Falcon - 10,20,50,100,200,900
Gulfstream - II,III,IV
Hawker - 125,400,600, 700,800,1000
Jetstar - 6, II, 731
Lear - 31,35,36,55,60
Sabreliner - 40,60,65,80
Swearinger/Fairchild - All
Westwind - I,II,IIA,1124
Boeing / McDonell - 707, 727, 737, DC8, DC9

If you own or operate an aircraft that is not listed, please contact us.  We will help you explore the possibilities of certifying your aircraft.

 *Aircraft can be certified in two different ways:

• Group Certification – a program where many aircraft of like make and model are certified under a common effort.  This type of program requires substantial support from the airframe manufacturer, and can be more restrictive than the Non-Group method of certification with regards to continued airworthiness.
• Non-Group Certification – each aircraft is certified on a individual basis.  Sometimes the age of the fleet, or differences between airframes makes group certification too difficult, too costly, or even impossible.  In those cases, Non-Group Certifications can be obtained for almost any aircraft able to fly at the affected flight levels (with the appropriate hardware and avionics system upgrades).  The extra up-front work may mean fewer restrictions on continued airworthiness and, for now, removes the requirement for monitoring flights to be conducted.  This is because the aircraft was certified using hard data recently collected on that airframe.  However, we may see this change as the rules mature - only time will tell.Eventually, several Non-Group Certifications could even lead to a Group Certification.  Of course this is not guaranteed, and depends on the condition of the fleet and on the airframe manufacturer.

Operator Certification generally involves drafting an RVSM Operations Manual and submitting it to the local civil aviation authority for approval.  Issues such as continued airworthiness inspection procedures, crew training, and flight reporting procedures should be outlined in the RVSM Operations Manual.
