RVSM
Is it possibile to plan flights above FL 410 with airplane NO RVSM approved ? Filing OFP just to cross momentarily the RVSM space?

Interesting question but I would say no as the book says your aircraft needs to be RVSM approved to enter RVSM airspace and you would need to do this at least twice. Only State aircraft are exempted and ATC need to provide 2000ft separation at all times with other traffic when one is around .a real pain .
That said if you can , do it fast because the (ICAO) plan is to extend RVSM above FL410 very soon. |

If you are CROSSING the airspace and not operating within it, yes you can plan to fly above it Non-RVSM.

This is an excerpt from FAA regs for RVSM, Note that number four clearly exempts non RVSM aircraft that are climbing or descending through RVSM without any planned level off’s:
Subject to FAA approval and clearance, the following categories of non-RVSM aircraft may operate in domestic U.S.

Would an engine failure and drift down into RVSM not be a problem if you're planning on flying above?

For info Eurocontrol regulation does not mention this, even for State and military aircraft : All civilian aircraft intending to operate in designated RVSM airspace are required to be approved by their Competent Authority. There is no exemption for State aircraft to operate as GAT within RVSM airspace (FL 290 to FL 410) with a 1000 ft vertical separation minimum without an RVSM approval. The absence of such approval does not mean that State aircraft cannot access RVSM-designated airspace, but it does require a separation of 2000 ft to be observed. |
