IN FLIGHT PROCEDURES
1. Ensure AUTO pilot is engaged for cruise and flight level changes..
2. Do not overshoot / undershoot by more than 150 feet during cleared transitions
between Flight Levels.
3. Carry out hourly check of ADRs and record in RVSM monitoring report form.
4. Ensure that the transponder and the autopilot are associated with one of the ADRs
which is within tolerance
POST FLIGHT
IN FLIGHT CONTINGENCIES
(Rapid Descent, Turn back, navigation performance
accuracy, Engine Failure and Diversion)
INITIAL PILOT ACTIONS IN CONTINGENCY SITUATIONS
If considered necessary alert nearby aircraft by:
i) Making maximum use of exterior lights if possible.
ii) Broadcasting position, flight level and intentions on the frequency in use,
on 121.5 MHz (as a backup, the VHF inter –pilot air-to-air frequency,
123.45MHz, may be used)

Note: The ICAO weather deviation procedure is described above and is followed in Indian
Airspace. However, for country specific procedures kindly refer to the regional AIP.
7) When returning to track, be at its assigned flight level, when the aircraft is within
approximately 10NM of the centerline, and
8) If contact was not established prior to deviating, continue attempt to contact ATC to
obtain a clearance. If contact was established, continue to keep ATC advised of
intentions and obtain essential traffic information.
RVSM CHINA
China and DPR of Korea RVSM Flight Level Allocation Scheme (FLAS) is based on
Metric Flight Level. ATC will issue the Flight Level clearance in meters, the aircraft
shall be flown using the flight level in FEET. There will be no change in flight level
allocations and operations at 8400m (FL276) or below in non RVSM airspace.
Pilots should be aware that due to the rounding differences, the metric readout of the
onboard avionics will not necessarily correspond to the cleared Flight Level in meters,
however the difference will never be more than 30 meters.
Aircraft equipped with metric and feet altimeters shall use the feet altimeter within
RVSM flight level band. For Table of Flight Level Allocation refer to Jeppesen
CH(H/L) ENROUTE CHARTS.
1. Deviation procedure for level change: turn 30° right and track out 20
kilometers (i.e. deviate right of airway centerline by 10 km or 5 nm), then, turn
left to track parallel the original route,
2. Then climb or descend to the new level, and then return to the original one
(when appropriate)
