| 00-31687 | Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) | Proposed Rule | This proposed rule would add the New York Flight Information Region (FIR) portion of the West Atlantic Route System (WATRS) to the airspace where Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) may be applied. RVSM saves fuel and minimizes traffic delays by accommodating greater numbers of aircraft in the most fuel-efficient routes available. This is accomplished by reducing the vertical separation between aircraft that fly in RVSM airspace. Safety is maintained by restricting RVSM airspace to aircraft with approved equipment that is operated by crews with proper training to assure high levels of long- range navigation precision. International RVSM planning groups have agreed to implement RVSM in the New York Flight Information Region (FIR) portion of WATRS on November 1, 2001. This NPRM also proposes to require aircraft that are equipped with Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) to incorporate a version of TCAS that is compatible with RVSM operations. | 2000-12-18 | 2000 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/12/18/00-31687/reduced-vertical-separation-minimum-rvsm | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-12-18/pdf/00-31687.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | This proposed rule would add the New York Flight Information Region (FIR) portion of the West Atlantic Route System (WATRS) to the airspace where Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) may be applied.
