Yep, thanks, well aware that an airline's FOM can grant them relief from certain FAR's. The two most recent FOM's I've worked under required the AP to be engaged in
level flight while operating in RVSM airspace.
Can you (or anybody else) state one way or the other if SKW's FOM has this same requirement?
