RVSM (Reduced Vertical

Separation Minimum)

Comprehensive Guide for Pilots and


Operators
• - RVSM reduces vertical separation from 2,000
feet to 1,000 feet between FL290 and FL410.
What is • - Enhances airspace capacity and operational
efficiency.
RVSM? • - Implemented globally under ICAO standards.
• - Governed by ICAO Annex 6 (Operations) and
Annex 11 (Air Traffic Services).
• - All pilots operating in RVSM airspace must
complete specific training.
• - Training covers:
• * Normal RVSM operations.
Pilot Training • * Handling equipment failures and
contingencies.
Requirements • * Regional variations in procedures (e.g., NAT,
EUR).
• - Familiarity with ICAO phraseology for RVSM
operations.
• - Two independent primary altitude
measurement systems.
Aircraft • - Autopilot capable of maintaining strict altitude
tolerances.
Equipment • - Altitude alerting system (alerts for deviations
Requirements ≥300 feet).
• - Transponder with Mode C/S capability for ATC
surveillance.
• - Operational redundancy to ensure safety.
• - Cross-check altimeters during pre-flight and in-
flight:
• * Primary altimeters: Difference ≤ ±200 feet.
Altimeter • * Standby altimeter: Slightly higher tolerance

Tolerances •
but within limits.
- Ensure compliance with ICAO altimeter accuracy
standards.
• - Report discrepancies and log for maintenance.
• - Severe turbulence:
• * Reduce speed to turbulence penetration
speed (Vb).

Contingency •
•
* Notify ATC: 'Unable RVSM due turbulence.'
* Request block altitude or leave RVSM.
Procedures • - Altimeter failure:
• * Use the most reliable altimeter as reference.
• * Notify ATC and avoid further RVSM operations
until resolved.
• - Routine Entry:
• * 'Confirm RVSM approved.'
• - Turbulence:
ICAO • * 'Unable RVSM due turbulence,
requesting descent to FL280.'
Phraseology • - Equipment Failure:
Examples • * 'Unable RVSM due autopilot failure,
requesting FL290.'
• - Resuming Operations:
• * 'Ready to resume RVSM at FL350.'
• - Europe (EUR RVSM):

Regional •
•
* Hourly cross-checks.
* Eurocontrol-managed clearances.
Variations •
•
- North Atlantic (NAT RVSM):
* Position reports at waypoints.
in RVSM • * ADS-C or HF communication.
• - Asia-Pacific (APAC RVSM):
• * High turbulence areas.
• * Pre-defined contingency corridors.
Altimeter • | FL | ADR1 vs. ADR2 | ADR3 (Standby) |
• |----|----------------|----------------|
Tolerance • | FL100 | ±60 ft | ±130 ft |

Table •
•
| FL200 | ±95 ft | ±220 ft |
| FL300 | ±120 ft | ±320 ft |
• | FL410 | ±145 ft | ±380 ft |
- RVSM enhances airspace
efficiency and capacity.

- Strict adherence to procedures


ensures safety.
Closing
Notes - Regular training and equipment
checks are vital for compliance.

- Stay familiar with ICAO


documentation and regional
variations.
