RVSM Implementation date for Domestic US: January 20, 2005, FL 290-410

The goal of RVSM is to reduce the vertical separation above flight level (FL) 290 from the current 2000-ft minimum to 1000-ft minimum.  This will allow aircraft to safely fly more optimum profiles, gain fuel savings and increase airspace capacity.  RVSM airspace has been implemented in many areas of the world to increase the number of flight levels (FLs) available.  These include the Atlantic, Asia/Pacific, and Europe/WATRS airspace, and the continental U.S. region.

System Requirements

Two (2) independent altitude measurement systems comprised of the following elements:

-Cross coupled static source system provided with ice protection if located in areas subject to ice accretion.
-Equipment for measuring static pressure sensed by the static source, converting it to pressure altitude, and displaying pressure altitude to the flightcrew.
-Equipment for providing a digitally coded signal corresponding to the displayed pressure altitude, for automatic altitude reporting purposes.
-Static source error correction (SSEC), if required to meet RVSM altimetry system error requirements.
-Equipment to provide reference signals for automatic altitude control and alerting systems.

One (1) SSR altitude reporting transponder.
One (1) altitude alert system.
One (1) automatic altitude control system capable of automatically controlling the aircraft to a referenced pressure altitude.
