Reduced Vertical Separation Minimums (RVSM)

LEARJET 20 SERIES RVSM PROJECT

CURRENT STATUS:

Avcon has received FAA group approval for its Learjet RVSM program.  The RVSM Group Approval includes Learjet 24, 25, 28 and 29 Series aircraft, and all approved wings.

All systems as modified, including the FC-110 and APS-80 autopilots, perform flawlessly at the various RVSM altitudes, and at speeds ranging from .65 mach to .80 mach.

EQUIPMENT:

Avon offers two variations of Air Data equipment for RVSM installations:

IS&S provides RVSM Altimeters (ADDU’s) and Autopilot Interface Units (AIU’s). Rosemount Pitot Static Probes are installed.  This configuration is used for FC-110 autopilot installations.

For aircraft with the APS-80 autopilot, the RVSM installation features Kollsman Air Data Computer and Thommen Altimeter Indicators.  The Kollsman Air Data Computer offers remote monitoring and interface to state-of-the-art avionics displays.

PRICING:

Avcon's current Learjet 20 Series RVSM Modification includes installation of RVSM equipment and a functional test flight of the RVSM system installation. In addition, the JET FC-110 autopilot components and pitch servo must be inspected, calibrated and/or repaired while the aircraft is being modified with RVSM equipment. The autopilot inspection/repairs depends upon aircraft configuration.  It is not included in the Avcon RVSM price
