5. ICAO has implemented RVSM operations in the EUR/SAM corridor. The following procedures have been implemented for aircraft utilizing this airspace.
a. The EUR/SAM corridor is the airspace over the South Atlantic (SAT) area which lies within Flight Information Regions of Canarias, Dakar Oceanic, Atlantico and Sal Oceanic. RVSM shall be applicable in that volume of airspace between FL310 and FL410 in the following airspace:
(1)
From N25°00’ W15°30’ to N19°00’ W19°00’ to N17°20’ W20°00’ to N15°00’ W20°00’ to N12°58’ W21°22’ to S08°30.6’ W34°21’ to S08°08.2’ W34°55.6 (Recife VOR) then follow the N continental limits of Brazil until the point S01°20.7’ W43°07.5’ then to N07°40' W35°00’ to N13°30’ W37°30’ to N17°00’ W37°30’ to N24°00’ W25°00’ to N30°00’ W25°00’ to N30°00’ W20°00’ to N25°00’ W20°00’ to N25°00’ W15°30’.
(2)
This includes ATS Routes UN741, UN866, UN873, B/UB623 and UN857.
b. Non-RVSM Aircraft
(1)
Operators of non-RVSM approved state aircraft with a requested flight level of FL290 or above shall insert STS/NON RVSM in Item 18 of the ICAO flight plan form.
(2)
Operators of formation flights of state aircraft shall not insert the letter W in Item 10 of the ICAO flight plan form, regardless of the RVSM approval status of the aircraft concerned. Operators of formation flights of state aircraft intending to operate with the EUR/SAM Corridor RVSM Airspace as General Air Traffic (GAT) shall include STS/Non-RVSM in Item 18 of the ICAO flight plan form.
(3)
Operators of Non-RVSM approved state aircraft intending to operate within the EUR/SAM Corridor RVSM Airspace shall include the following in Item 15 of the ICAO flight plan form:
(a)
The entry point at the lateral limits of the EUR/SAM Corridor RVSM Airspace and the requested flight level for that portion of the route commencing immediately after the RVSM entry point; and
(b)
The exit point at the lateral limits of the EUR/SAM Corridor RVSM Airspace and the requested flight level for that portion of the route commencing immediately after the RVSM exit point.
c.
Crossing Traffic - For the purpose of this application, crossing traffic is defined as all that traffic entering or leaving the EUR/SAM RVSM Airspace along its E or W boundaries (i.e. at any point other than its N (Canarias) or S (Brazil transition area) boundaries). Crossing traffic can flight plan to enter and leave the RVSM Airspace at any point along its boundaries, indicating in the flight plan the coordinates and estimated time of the entering and exit points into the RVSM Airspace and of the crossing of each of the fixed ATS routes. Crossing traffic should flight plan to operate through the EUR/SAM RVSM Airspace at conventional flight levels, i.e., E to W FL310, 350, 390 and W to E FL290, 330, 370.
