RVSM OPERATION

The RVSM operation reduces the EMB-145 minimum vertical
separation from 2000 ft to 1000 ft between FL 290 and FL 370.
Airworthiness approval alone does not authorize flight into airspace for
which an RVSM operational approval is required by an ICAO Regional
Navigation Agreement.
LIMITATIONS
MINIMUM EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
During RVSM operation it is necessary that the following equipment
and instruments be in proper operating condition:
2 Primary Altitude Measurement Systems;
1 Autopilot with Altitude Hold Mode operative;
1 Altitude Alerter;
1 Transponder.
NOTE: - An operating transponder may not be required for entry into
all designated RVSM airspace. The operator should
determine the requirement for an operational transponder in
each RVSM area where operations are intended. The
operator
requirements for transition areas next to RVSM airspace.
- Should any of the required equipment fail prior to the
airplane entering RVSM airspace, the pilot should request a
