RVSM Course

✈️ Reduced Vertical Separation Minimums (RVSM)

Reduced Vertical Separation Minimums, or RVSM, is intended to reduce the current 2,000 feet of vertical separation between aircraft to 1,000 feet at the fuel-efficient altitudes between FL290 and FL410 📏.

🌍 RVSM is currently required in many parts of the world, including:

• Europe 🇪🇺

• Northern Canada 🍁

• The North Atlantic 🌊

• The Pacific 🌐

• And various other regions

🛫 The additional flight levels enable:

• More aircraft to fly time- and fuel-efficient profiles ⛽

• The potential for enhanced airspace capacity

🛡️ Authorization Requirements

• RVSM operators must receive authorization from the appropriate civil aviation authority 🛃

• Aircraft must meet:

  • Required equipage

  • Required altitude-keeping performance standards

• Operators must fly in accordance with RVSM policies/procedures applicable to the airspace where they are operating 📑

📘 Compliance

This training program complies with:

• EASA Regulation: EC 965/2012, Annex 5, Part SPA

• 14 CFR 91 Appendix G: Operations in RVSM Airspace

• ICAO Doc 7030: (2025 Update)
