RVSM Critical Region Visual Inspection
The RVSM critical region is a 24 x 24 inch area around the static ports on both sides of the
airplane. The corners of the RVSM critical region are to be marked on the aircraft with placards
or paint of a contrasting color (see Figure 8-2.) The RVSM critical region must meet the
following visual inspection criteria:
1. The fuselage skin must be free from damage. All skin repairs within the RVSM critical
region must be flush (no external doublers). If any damage is found, the area must be
repaired. Locations of existing protruding head rivets in frames and skin laps are
acceptable.
2. The paint (including stripes) must be uniform and smooth. Remove any paint blisters or
flaking and sand smooth. Any decals or placards must be flush with no peeling edges.
3. The static ports must be free from any corrosion, elongation of holes, deformation or
obstructions. If any damage is found, replace the static port.
4. The oxygen servicing door on the right hand side must close approximately flush with
the fuselage skin and be free from damage or deformation. For the model 300 only, the
ELT access hole cover on the right hand side must be in place.
