How is this different from a full RVSM LOA?

A full authorization is issued to an operator for ongoing operations. A temporary letter is scoped to short-term ferry flying, which is what most one-off movements actually need.

Can it be arranged at short notice?

Usually, provided the airframe RVSM compliance and crew training records are available. Those records are what set the pace.

Temporary RVSM Letter of Authorization for short-term ferry flights

A one-off ferry does not always justify a full operator RVSM authorization, but flying below RVSM airspace on a long leg is expensive. We provide temporary RVSM Letters of Authorization covering short-term ferry flights.

When a temporary authorization is the right answer

Aircraft between operators, coming off lease, or moving once before storage or teardown often have nobody holding a current RVSM authorization for them. A temporary letter covers the flight in front of you without setting up a permanent operator program.

What it does not replace

The airframe still has to be RVSM compliant and the crew still has to be trained on RVSM procedures. Where an operator will fly the aircraft continuously, a full RVSM Letter of Authorization is the correct route, and we process those too.
