Usage of two vertical separation minima (sometimes at the same time). Workload irregularity (depends on weather, RVSM status in the sector of responsibility). Increasing frequency of ACAS wrong alerts. Appearance of new transition areas RVSM/non-RVSM. STP56/162/ATCRVSM “Процедуры RVSM для персонала УВД” M3 - 13 Crew In-Flight Procedures (1) • Flight crews will need to comply with any aircraft operating restrictions, if required for the specific aircraft group, e.g. limits on indicated Mach number, given in the RVSM airworthiness approval; • Emphasis should be placed on promptly setting the sub-scale on all primary and standby altimeters to 1013.2 (hPa) /29.92 (in.Hg) when passing the transition altitude, and rechecking for proper altimeter setting when reaching the initial cleared flight level; STP56/162/ATCRVSM “Процедуры RVSM для персонала УВД” M3 - 14 Crew In-Flight Procedures(2) • In level cruise, it is essential that the aircraft is flown at the cleared flight level. This requires that particular care is taken to ensure that ATC clearances are fully understood and followed. The aircraft should not intentionally depart from cleared flight level without a positive clearance from ATC unless the crew are conducting emergency manoeuvres; • When changing levels, the aircraft should not be allowed to overshoot or undershoot the cleared flight level by more than 45 m (150 ft); Note: It is recommended that the acquisition of the Cleared Flight Level (CFL) be accomplished using the altitude capture feature of the automatic altitude-control system, if installed. STP56/162/ATCRVSM “Процедуры RVSM для персонала УВД” M3 - 15 Crew In-Flight Procedures (3) • An automatic altitude-control system should be operative and engaged during level cruise, except when circumstances such as the need to re-trim the aircraft or turbulence require disengagement. In any event, adherence to cruise altitude should be done by reference to one of the two primary altimeters. Following loss of the automatic heightkeeping function, any consequential restrictions will need to be observed; • Ensure that the altitude-alerting system is operative; STP56/162/ATCRVSM “Процедуры RVSM для персонала УВД” M3 - 16 Crew In-Flight Procedures (4) • At intervals of approximately one hour, cross-checks between the primary altimeters should be made. A minimum of two must agree within ± 200 ft (± 60 m). Failure to meet this condition will require that the altimetry system be reported as defective and notified to ATC; (i) The usual scan of flight deck instruments should suffice for altimeter cross-checking on most flights. • In normal operations, the altimetry system being used to control the aircraft should be selected for the input to the altitude reporting transponder transmitting information to ATC; • If the pilot is notified by ATC of an assigned altitude deviation (AAD) of 300 ft (± 90 m) or more, then the pilot should take action to return to the cleared flight level as quickly as possible.

Turbulence can affect RVSM application as in entire area as RVSM status of a single aircraft. Different RVSM status of aircraft in the area. Variation of the status in time. Problems of visual watching of other aircraft. Pilot mistakes during setting cleared level on an autopilot. Using TCAS by pilots for situational awareness. Altimetry and communication failures in RVSM area can cause serious consequences. Proper functioning of aircraft systems determine its RVSM status. There are new requirements to ATC automation and communication systems in relation to RVSM. Procedure of ATC coordination is changing. STP56/162/ATCRVSM “Процедуры RVSM для персонала УВД” M3 - 22 Air Traffic Assessment: Aircraft RVSM Status Indication on the Display (1) 8.3.5 Where radar is used as the primary tool for applying separation, the radar position symbols and/or radar labels should provide a clear indication of the current non-RVSM approval status of aircraft operating within such level bands above and below the EUR RVSM Airspace, as defined by the local ATS authority. 8.3.6 The means by which the distinguishing feature is applied to the radar position symbols and/or radar labels of the aircraft concerned shall be automatic. !! Non-RVSM!! ATC Manual for RVSM in Europe STP56/162/ATCRVSM “Процедуры RVSM для персонала УВД” M3 - 23 Air Traffic Assessment: Aircraft RVSM Status Indication on the Display (2) Controllers should understand that RVSM approval in accordance with current FPL can be cancelled on basis of information received directly from the pilot. During an initial phase of RVSM implementation for some radar display Information manual input of a distinctive characteristic can be demanded. It requires presence of the clear confirming procedures providing receipt of the given crucial for safety information to ATC controllers. ATC apply distinctive designations of the radar data label of an aircraft in a manual operating mode used till the moment when the pilot report on possibility to renew RVSM flight performance. STP56/162/ATCRVSM “Процедуры RVSM для персонала УВД” M3 - 24 Air Traffic Assessment: Aircraft RVSM Status Indication on the Display (3) 8.3.7 The possibility for the manual manipulation of the radar position symbols and/or radar labels of aircraft shall be available. Note: The manual manipulation will be used as a means of updating the radar position symbols and/or radar labels of aircraft experiencing in-flight equipment-related contingencies which result in the loss of RVSM approval status.
