Reduced Vertical Separation Minima (RVSM) has significant implications on aircraft operations, primarily increasing airspace capacity and optimizing flight levels, but also requiring specific aircraft equipment and operational procedures. RVSM is a set of regulations that reduced the vertical separation between aircraft flying between flight level (FL) 290 (approximately 29,000 feet) and FL410 (approximately 41,000 feet) from 2,000 feet to 1,000 feet. Before RVSM, aircraft flying at these altitudes were required to maintain at least 2,000 feet of vertical ....
