View Full Version : 737ng Metric Rvsm Max Altitude
According to the Boeing 737NG Flight Manual the maximum altitude is FL410.
My question is can the NG avail of 12500m in metric RVSM airspace i.e. FL411?

No I dont think so as the limit is primarily set due to cabin differential pressure. Any violation would not lead to any immediate damage as it should be within the Ultimate Load limit (ULL). But could compromise integrity in some other situation.:=

As far as I know, in the Russian 2 highest metric levels are 12100meters(F397), and 13100(F430), at least I never heard of F12500meters.
