What certification does the Falcon 2000LXS hold for operation in RVSM airspace?

The Falcon 2000LXS holds RVSM certification, which indicates it is designed to operate in Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) airspace. This certification is essential for aircraft operating at altitudes between flight levels 290 to 410, where vertical separation between aircraft is reduced to 1,000 feet instead of the standard 2,000 feet. Achieving RVSM certification involves rigorous testing and compliance with specific performance criteria, including the accuracy of altimeters and autopilot systems.

The ability to operate in RVSM airspace allows the Falcon 2000LXS to take full advantage of airspace capacity and achieve optimal flight levels, leading to more efficient routes and reduced flight times. This capability is crucial for modern operations, particularly in busy air traffic environments where space and altitude management are essential for safety and efficiency.
