Bombardier Aerospace has received Reduced Vertical Separation Minima (RVSM) group approval from the US FAA, for operation of the Bombardier Learjet 35/36 series aircraft. This follows RVSM certification of the super light Bombardier Learjet 31A in May 2001.

George Gonzalez, vice president and general manager of Bombardier Business Aviation Services, said: “We have completed the testing required to demonstrate the tolerance of various altimetry system components and confirmed that the system as a whole is compliant with RVSM requirements.”
