1 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
2 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.
k. Special Procedures for crossing traffic (East/West) operations.
(1)
For the purpose of this application, crossing traffic is defined as all that traffic entering or leaving the EUR/SAM RVSM Airspace along its Eastern or Western Boundaries (i.e. at any point other then its Northern Canarias) or Southern (Brazil) boundaries.
(2)
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.
(3)
Except when flying on published crossing routes/tracks, all crossing traffic intending to operate through the RVSM airspace must obtain an ATC Clearance. This should be requested sufficiently in advance to preclude C operational difficulties from the ACC responsible for the first RVSM airspace to be entered or in case of communications difficulties from any of the ACCs concerned with the EUR/SAM RVSM airspace or still from any other adjacent ACC.
l. Mandatory Pilot Reports
(1)
In addition to reading back altitude assignments, pilots shall report reaching any altitude assigned within RVSM airspace. This serves as a double check between pilots and controllers and reduces the possibility of operational errors. This requirement for altitude read back and reports of reaching assigned altitudes applies to both RVSM and CVSM altitudes (i.e. flight levels 330, 340, 350, 360, and 370).
EXAMPLE:
initial altitude read back): "Global Air 543 climbing to flight level 360.”
upon reaching assigned altitude): "Global Air 543 level at flight level 360.”
m. ACAS
(1) If ACAS (TCAS) is installed in RVSM compliant aircraft, the equipment should be updated to Change 7 or a later approved version for optimum performance in RVSM airspace.
n. TRANSITION AREA
(1)
RVSM approval is not required in order to operate within RVSM transition areas.
(2)
Transition from RVSM Flight Level to Non RVSM Flight Level.
(a) ATS ROUTE UL206
-
Expect transition between FLUTE and NEMOL Reporting Points.
(b) ATS ROUTE UR551
-
Expect transition between AMBET and SIDIR Reporting Points.
(3) Transition from Non RVSM Flight Level to RVSM Flight Level.
