My company purchased a new CJ3 and after we changed the N number we submitted a RVSM manual to the FSDO, but have not received approval yet. We have a 1500 nm flight on Tuesday and I really don't want to be stuck below FL290. Has anyone ever requested a transition of RVSM airspace to with a negative RVSM aircraft? If so, how did you file? Did you file for FL430 for example and put "NEGATIVE RVSM" in the remarks? According to the regs it's legal, but I've never done this before. Thanks in advance.
