• Update and maintain traffic display and FPS to the required standard of accuracy.
• Apply standards RTF phraseology pertaining to RVSM operations.
• Maintain the prescribed RVSM separation minima.
• Monitor known air traffic to provide aircraft concerned with information or advice relative to any significant deviation from their ATC clearances within the RVSM airspace.
• Be aware of the RVSM flight planning requirements.

Apply contingency procedure in the event of the operations abnormalities, which directly impact on the ability of aircraft to operate in accordance with vertical Navigation performance requirements.

This course is designed for air traffic (En-route) controllers from an Area Control Centers(ACCs).

The course is based on Three (3) Modules designed to:
