King Schools offers RVSM training online
It was 4:45 p.m.

It was 4:45 p.m. on the back nine of a long day. Frankly, I was a bit concerned that I’d embarrass myself taking the King Schools online RVSM pilot’s training course. The $199 course meets FAA requirements for the crew training portion of RVSM certification. John King told me that I should be able to complete it in an hour or less,
but I was skeptical.

First, I’m not a jet pilot. Not just RVSM territory, but all the airspace above Flight Level 290 is rare air to me. How would I be able to handle the questions regarding equipment and crew requirements; in-flight contingency procedures; international RVSM procedures; good RVSM operating practices; and, gulp, the consequences of altitude-keeping errors?
