1-The RVSM airspace is defined as any airspace or route where the aircraft
are separated vertically by 1.000ft between:

1- FL310 - FL 390
2-FL 295 - FL 415
3-FL 290 - UNLIM
4- FL 290 - FL 410

2- In order to signify that a flight is approved to operate in RVSM Airspace a

special letter shall be inserted in field 10 of the ATC Flight Plan. This letter
is:

1- W
2- S
3- X
4- R

3- To avoid TCAS warnings to your aircraft or to other traffic, it is necessary

to reduce the vertical speed when within 1.000ft of the cleared FL to a
maximum of:

1- 2.000 ft/min
2- only the autopilot must have control
3- 1.500 ft/min
4- 500 ft/min

4- The minimum equipment for RVSM operations should be:

1 – 1 ADRs + 2 DMC’s + 1 transponder + 2 autopilot function + 1 FCU channel

(for altitude target selection and OP CLB/OP DES mode engagement)
+ 2 PFD functions (for altitude indication) + 1 FWC (for altitude alert function).

2 - 2 ADRs + 2 DMC’s + 1 transponder + 1 autopilot function + 1 FCU channel

(for altitude target selection and OP CLB/OP DES mode engagement) + 2 PFD
functions (for altitude indication) + 1 FWC (for altitude alert function)

3 - 2 ADRs + 1 DMC’s + 1 transponder + 1 autopilot function + 1 FCU channel

(for altitude target selection and OP CLB/OP DES mode engagement) + 2 PFD
functions (for altitude indication) + 2 FWC (for altitude alert function)

5 - When both altitude alert functions are inoperative RVSM operations are
not permitted.

1- true
2- false

6 - TCAS is required for RVSM.

1- true
2- false

7- To operate within the RVSM airspace:

1- each individual aircraft must be certified for RVSM

2- the flight crews must have received the adequate training
3-any RVSM equipped aircraft is approved for RVSM operations
4-answer a. and b. are correct

8 - The highest FL below RVSM airspace for non approved RVSM aircraft
is:

1- FL 290
2- FL 280
3- FL 245
4- FL 410

9- When flying within RVSM airspace, ATC must be informed in case of:

1- Loss of altimeter system redundancy, or excessive altimeter discrepancy.

2- Failure of the autopilot or any other equipment affecting the ability to
. maintain the cleared FL.
3- Encountering greater than moderate turbulence.
4- All of the above.

10- If encountering greater than moderate turbulence , the correct RTF

phraseology to ATC used by the pilot is:

1- entering heavy turbulence

2- unable RVSM due turbulence
3-unable RVSM
4-request level change
