RVSM Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum Exam

1) The RVSM airspace is defined as airspace between FL310-FL390 where aircraft are separated by 1000 feet vertically. 2) To operate in RVSM airspace, flight plans must include the letter "X" in field 10 to indicate RVSM approval. 3) When within 1000 feet of the cleared flight level, vertical speed must be reduced to a maximum of 1500 feet per minute to avoid TCAS warnings.

special letter shall be inserted in field 10 of the ATC Flight Plan. This letter
is:

1- W
2- S

maximum of:

1- 2.000 ft/min
