Title: Operations in Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum Airspace (RVSM Appendix G) | |
Abstract:
This rulemaking would revise the FAA´s requirements for an application to operate in Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) airspace. This action is necessary to eliminate the considerable burden and expense of developing, processing, and approving RVSM maintenance programs. The intended effect of this action is that an RVSM applicant would no longer be required to develop and submit an RVSM maintenance program solely for the purpose of an RVSM authorization. |

Additional Information: Current regulations require part 91 operators to submit for FAA approval an RVSM maintenance program for each aircraft applying to operate in RVSM. This rule eliminates the requirement for a maintenance program because other, independent FAA airworthiness regulations continue to be required to maintain RVSM equipment in airworthy condition. It is estimated that the current cost to operators for developing a maintenance program for FAA approval is $5,000 per application. This rule relieves operators of that cost. Without this rule, it is projected that 3,000 maintenance programs would be submitted to the FAA for approval in each of the next five years. Thus, over the next five years, the projected costs savings from this rulemaking is $75 million ($15 million per year). | |
