RVSM
Probably not the right spot for this, but I figured the people who are in here would ahve the best information.
Have the oppurtunity to do some SIC flying for a part 91 corporate company. Is there any required training in RVSM to be "legal" to act as SIC. I know king schools does a class. But as a younger guy just getting my foot in door, its money I dont really have to spare but guess i have to do what I have do to.
Thanks for any info.

If there is a requirement for two pilots then yes. If not then I would assume that only the pic would be required. So that means you could not log PIC time over 28k or unless you were typed in the CJ "assuming" which you don't have anyways. If your not typed PIC in the plane you couldn't log SIC either. Would be helpful to know what the specifics were.

The answer is: probably. It depends on the LOA issued for that specific aircraft and the details of your manual. In broad terms the 8900 series merely states for Part 91, "ensure each pilot has adequate knowledge of RVSM requirements, policies, and procedures". Notice it says 'each pilot' and not PIC/SIC. It's not seat specific, everyone needs to know whats going on up there.

Depending on the operator, simply checking the box may not meet the requirements.
Both the corporate operators that I've worked for have had a specific training provider listed in their RVSM LOA.

I would hope that if this company can afford the plane, they should be able to pay for the training of its crew. If you can pay the money and expense it, that's worth a try. If they are cheap then, write it off on next years taxes.
