Reduced Vertical Separation Minima (RVSM) RVSM Airspace: RVSM airspace is any designated airspace/route between FL 290 and FL 410 (both levels inclusive) where aircraft are separated vertically by 1000 ft (300 m) Indian Airspace and neighbouring airspace has become RVSM airspace between FL 290 and FL 410, inclusive of FL 290 and FL 410 on 27mNovember, 2003. Reduced vertical separation minima or minimum (RVSM) is the reductiorof the standard vertical separation required between aircraft flying between §L290 (29,000 ft) and FL410 (41,000 ft) inclusive, from 2,000 feet to 1,000 feet THis therefore increases the number of aircraft that can safely fly inf'a particular volume of airspace. To overcome this (in part), a system of reduced Verti€a} separation is applied whereby the 1000 ft separation between FLsiis mairitained up to FL410. Above FL410, the inaccuracy in the altimeter operatiomis too great for continuation of the reduced minima. This immediately doubles the available FLs between FL290 and the limit of the application, FL410.

Failure to meet this condition will require that the altimetry system be reported as defeGtive and notified to ATC; Before entering RVSM airspace, the initial altimeter cross check of primary and standby altimeters shall be recorded Examples of equipment failures, which shall be notified, to ATC are: (a) failure of all automatic altitude-control systems aboard the aircraft; (b) loss of redundancy of altimetry systems, (c) loss of thrust on an engine necessitating descept?On (d) any other equipment failure affecting the ability to maiptain cleared flight level (CFL); What What are the different modes of EGP’ GP Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System: It gives aural and visual warning to pilot when aircraft is entering potentially dangerous ground proximity, This works on the database and GPS feedback along with feedback from RA, VSI, glide slope indicator, flap and landifigygear switches.
