Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM)
CSSI plays a key role in the recurrent Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) monitoring requirement; as an approved RVSM monitoring contractor, CSSI can conduct the RVSM monitoring flight required for an aircraft to maintain RVSM approval status.
Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM)
Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) is defined as the reduction of vertical space between aircraft from 2,000 to 1,000 feet at flight levels from 29,000 feet up to 41,000 feet. RVSM was implemented as a means to increase airspace capacity and provide access to more fuel-efficient flight levels. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and its member states first mandated the implementation of RVSM in the North Atlantic in March 1997, with other regions around the world to follow.
