Title: ●Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum in United States Domestic Airspace
Abstract: This action proposes to permit Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum flights in the airspace over the contiguous 48 States of the United States and Alaska and that portion of the Gulf of Mexico where the FAA provides air traffic services. This reduction of vertical separation minima would only be applied between those aircraft the meet stringent altimeter and auto-pilot performance requirements. The FAA is proposing this action to enhance airspace capacity and to assist aircraft operators to save fuel and time.
