RVSM pilot training is required to obtain RVSM operational approval and keep that authorization from year to year. Details of this training requirement may be found in 91-RVSM Guidance Change 2 and Part 91 Appendix G.
ITS provides both initial and recurrent RVSM training at your facility with your entire pilot staff making it more cost effective. We cover the syllabus with special emphasis on the following:
- Area of Operations
- Specific Policy and Procedures including standard ATC phraseology
- Ground and inflight altimeter cross check and documentation requirements
- Use and limitations in terms of accuracy of standby altimeters
- Problems of visual perception of other aircraft at 1,000 ft separation
- Altitude capture systems
- TCAS operational procedures
- Relationship between the altimetry, automatic altitude control, and transponder systems in normal and abnormal situations
- Aircraft operating restrictions (if required for the specific aircraft group) related to RVSM airworthiness approval
- Use of track offset procedures in oceanic airspace (SLOP)
ITS can develop course materials that are company specific as well. Next time your flight department is due for RVSM, let ITS assist in this training while saving you money.
