FAQs

RVSM saves fuel and increases the number of flight levels between 29,000 and 41,000 feet. However, before commercial and private aircraft can operate in RVSM airspace, international and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards require a height monitoring flight to verify that an aircraft’s altitude-keeping systems are compliant with RVSM requirements. A height monitoring flight is required every two years to maintain RVSM approval.
