e.Registration on RVSM Approvals Data-bases. The “Registration on RVSM Approvals Database” section of the RVSM Documentation Webpage provides policies/procedures for operator and aircraft registration on RVSM approvals databases. 1. Purpose of RVSM Approvals Databases. ATC does not use RVSM approvals databases to determine whether or not a clearance can be issued into RVSM airspace. RVSM program managers do regularly review the operators and aircraft that operate in RVSM airspace to identify and investigate those aircraft and operators flying in RVSM airspace, but not listed on the RVSM approvals databases. 2. Registration of U.S. Operators. When U.S. operators and aircraft are granted RVSM authority, the FAA Flight Standards office makes an input to the FAA Program Tracking and Reporting Subsystem (PTRS). The Separation Standards Group at the FAA Technical Center obtains PTRS operator and aircraft information to update the FAA maintained U.S. Operator/Aircraft RVSM Approvals Database. Basic database operator and aircraft information can be viewed on the RVSM Documentation Webpage by clicking on the appropriate database icon. 3. Registration of Non.U.S. Operators. Non.U.S. operators can find policy/procedures for registration on the North American Approvals Registry and Monitoring Organization (NAARMO) database in the “Registration on RVSM Approvals Database” section of RVSM Documentation. 4.6.4. Flight Planning into RVSM Airspace a.Operators that do not file the correct aircraft equipment suffix on the FAA or ICAO Flight Plan may be denied clearance into RVSM airspace. Policies for the FAA Flight Plan are detailed in subparagraph c below. Policies for the ICAO Flight Plan are detailed in subparagraph d. b.The operator will annotate the equipment block of the FAA or ICAO Flight Plan with an aircraft equipment suffix indicating RVSM capability only after the responsible civil aviation authority has determined that both the operator and its aircraft are RVSM.compliant and has issued RVSM authoriza-tion to the operator. c.General Policies for FAA Flight Plan Equip-ment Suffix. TBL 5.1.2, Aircraft Suffixes, allows operators to indicate that the aircraft has both RVSM and Advanced Area Navigation (RNAV) capabilities or has only RVSM capability. 1.The operator will annotate the equipment block of the FAA Flight Plan with the appropriate aircraft equipment suffix from TBL 5.1.2. 2.Operators can only file one equipment suffix in block 3 of the FAA Flight Plan. Only this equipment suffix is displayed directly to the controller. 3.Aircraft with RNAV Capability. For flight in RVSM airspace, aircraft with RNAV capability, but not Advanced RNAV capability, will file “/W”. Filing “/W” will not preclude such aircraft from filing and flying direct routes in en route airspace. d. Policy for ICAO Flight Plan Equipment Suffixes. 1. Operators/aircraft that are RVSM.compliant and that file ICAO flight plans will file “/W” in block 10 (Equipment) to indicate RVSM authoriza-tion and will also file the appropriate ICAO Flight Plan suffixes to indicate navigation and communica-tion capabilities. The equipment suffixes in TBL 5.1.2 are for use only in an FAA Flight Plan (FAA Form 7233.1). 2. Operators/aircraft that file ICAO flight plans that include flight in Domestic U.S. RVSM airspace must file “/W” in block 10 to indicate RVSM authorization. e. Importance of Flight Plan Equipment Suffixes. The operator must file the appropriate equipment suffix in the equipment block of the FAA Flight Plan (FAA Form 7233.1) or the ICAO Flight Plan. The equipment suffix informs ATC: 1.Whether or not the operator and aircraft are authorized to fly in RVSM airspace. 2.The navigation and/or transponder capability of the aircraft (e.g., advanced RNAV, transponder with Mode C). f. Significant ATC uses of the flight plan equipment suffix information are: 1.To issue or deny clearance into RVSM airspace. 2.To apply a 2,000 foot vertical separation minimum in RVSM airspace to aircraft that are not authorized for RVSM, but are in one of the limited categories that the FAA has agreed to accommodate. (See paragraphs 4.6.10, Procedures for Accom-modation of Non.RVSM Aircraft, and 4.6.11, Non.RVSM Aircraft Requesting Climb to and Descent from Flight Levels Above RVSM Airspace Without Intermediate Level Off, for policy on limited operation of unapproved aircraft in RVSM airspace). 3.To determine if the aircraft has “Advanced RNAV” capabilities and can be cleared to fly procedures for which that capability is required. 4.6.5. Pilot RVSM Operating Practices and Procedures a. RVSM Mandate. If either the operator or the aircraft or both have not received RVSM authoriza-tion (non.RVSM aircraft), the pilot will neither request nor accept a clearance into RVSM airspace unless: 1. The flight is conducted by a non.RVSM DOD, Lifeguard, certification/development or for-eign State (government) aircraft in accordance with paragraph 4.6.10, Procedures for Accommodation of Non.RVSM Aircraft. 2. The pilot intends to climb to or descend from FL 430 or above in accordance with para-graph 4.6.11, Non.RVSM Aircraft Requesting Climb to and Descent from Flight Levels Above RVSM Airspace Without Intermediate Level Off. 3. An emergency situation exists. b.Basic RVSM Operating Practices and Procedures. Appendix 4 of Guidance 91.RVSM contains pilot practices and procedures for RVSM. Operators must incorporate Appendix 4 practices and procedures, as supplemented by the applicable paragraphs of this section, into operator training or pilot knowledge programs and operator documents containing RVSM operational policies. Guid-ance 91.RVSM is published on the RVSM Documentation Webpage under “Documents Appli-cable to All RVSM Approvals.” |
