Light transport aircraft at high altitude and light turbulence had right engine flame out. After descending to FL240 reporter captain restarted engine and continued on flight. When flameout occurred it also created pressurization problems and flight crew had to descend, but didn't want to declare an emergency.

Narrative:
At FL410 light turbulence was encountered causing right engine to flame out, which caused my pressurization to climb. I reported pressurization problem, requesting lower immediately. Controller suggested I squawk 7700. I said I didn't want to declare an emergency, would take vectors for any conflicting traffic. Was then given a heading at FL240. Reaching FL250 I relighted the engine, pressurization was reset, reported stable conditions. Continued on to destination with no further problems.

Title: LTT ACFT AT HIGH ALT AND LIGHT TURB HAD R ENG FLAME OUT. AFTER DSNDING TO FL240 RPTR CAPT RESTARTED ENG AND CONTINUED ON FLT. WHEN FLAMEOUT OCCURRED IT ALSO CREATED PRESSURIZATION PROBS AND FLC HAD TO DSND, BUT DIDN'T WANT TO DECLARE AN EMER.
Narrative: AT FL410 LIGHT TURB WAS ENCOUNTERED CAUSING R ENG TO FLAME OUT, WHICH CAUSED MY PRESSURIZATION TO CLB. I RPTED PRESSURIZATION PROB, REQUESTING LOWER IMMEDIATELY. CTLR SUGGESTED I SQUAWK 7700. I SAID I DIDN'T WANT TO DECLARE AN EMER, WOULD TAKE VECTORS FOR ANY CONFLICTING TFC. WAS THEN GIVEN A HDG AT FL240. REACHING FL250 I RELIGHTED THE ENG, PRESSURIZATION WAS RESET, RPTED STABLE CONDITIONS. CONTINUED ON TO DEST WITH NO FURTHER PROBS.
