Hold on to your hats folks. Doesn't it seem like kind of an odd rule? Wonder why AOPA, EAA, etc. have been so quiet. My guess is that there is no such rule. Let's check it out before we cry "The sky is falling, the sky is falling".

This is the one really stupid rule if correct. The whole idea of RVSM is to
increase the airspace above FL290 so the big jets don't have to cruise at the
lower flight levels where gas mileage is not good. We're using RVSM over the
Pacific and the Atlantic. Everyone fights for the higher flight levels.
Remember we're talking about the government bureaucrats in the process of making
up rules. Reserving the airspace between FL190 and FL270 for big jets will
render the space empty.
