RVSM Operating Procedures
- Flight Preparation
On the ground, the aircraft main and standby altimeters should be set to the QNH (atmospheric pressure at nautical height) of the airfield and should display a known altitude within the limits as specified in the aircraft FCOM. The two primary altimeters should also agree within limits specified in the FCOM. The maximum value of acceptable altimeter differences for these checks should not exceed 75 ft. - Prior RVSM
A cross-check between the primary altimeters should be made. A minimum of two must be within 200 ft. Failure to meet this condition will require that the altimetry system be reported as defective and air traffic control (ATC) notified; - In RVSM
At intervals of approximately 1 hour, cross-checks between the 2 primary altimeters should be made and need to agree within ±200 ft of each other. Failure to meet this condition will require that the altimetry system be reported as defective and ATC notified, or contingency procedures applied. The usual scan of flight deck instruments should suffice for altimeter cross-checking. There is no requirement to record the altimeter readings.
