RVSM Flashcards
While in cruise a failure in the pressurisation system requires a rapid decent. If unable to contact ATC the correct procedure in China is:
Turn right 30 degrees and track out to deviate right of centreline by 10 km (5nm) then turn left to parallel the original route
When operating in ADS-B airspace squeaking 7700 will
Create a generic “EMG” tag on the controllers display
If asked to “Transmit ADS-B ident”
Press the ATC transponder IDENT pushbutton
If ADS-B equipment is degraded ATC will use the phrase
“ADS-B out of service” and resume normal position reporting by voice or CPDLC if fitted
Correct format of the Flight ID during FMS initialisation
- Is essential to ensure correct correlation with the ATC system
- Must use the ICAO airline identifier and flight number as shown on the CFP
- Mustn’t use any spaces, dashes or extra leading zeroes
Correct answers: All of the above
ADS-data includes
Barometric altitude, vertical rate, GPS position, track, groundspeed
ADS-B data is broadcast
Automatically, provided the transponder is selected to ON/AUTO
During FMS initialisation (ADS-B airspace)
Ensure that the flight number in the FMS init A matches that of item 7 of the ICAO ATS flight plan
Which of the following is true with regards to operating within RVSM airspace
Autopilot should be used, level changes should not overshoot the cleared level by more than 150ft and a double autopilot failure should be reported to ATC
If a flight in China RVSM deviates from the cleared level, the crew shall:
Report to ATC, file an ASR and notify line Ops by CAR if deviation is 300ft or more
MSA’s shown on Jeppesen charts may be used provided:
The nav beacon on which the MSA is based on is tuned, identified and the aircraft is within 25nm
If a flight in China is unable to continue RVSM due equipment failure, the crew shall:
Contact ATC and state “unable RVSM due equipment failure” and request clearance out of RVSM airspace
