same. I usually go to 30 or 31 if time allows it. about 8-10kts slower, but the fuel flow drops substantially.

Pilot takes RVSM course is all that’s needed. Do you have a source to support this statement?
Thorough discussion (debate?) of this here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=162324

Thanks, I'm very familiar with that thread, even posted in it a couple times myself. But, it certainly isn't conclusively in favor of ADSB satisfying RVSM requirements. Quite the opposite actually. I'm still ever optimistic that it were so, and try to grasp at any remote possibility of such before I plunk down good money on a RVSM STC for my aircraft. Alas, I have found no evidence that this is how the new rule is intended to be applied other than a brief conversation with an admittedly unknowledgeable (on the subject) FSDO inspector and my own wishful thinking.

Just Googled the registration number and didn't see anything out of the ordinary on flight radar 24 as far as speed or altitude.
