kpayne on VMOFRWIN702 with $$_JOB

Pt. 91, App. G

14 CFR Ch. I (1-1-19 Edition)

when the altitude displayed to the flight
crew deviates from the selected altitude by
more than:
(i) Section300 feet for aircraft for which application for type certification was made on or
before April 9, 1997; or
(ii) Section200 feet for aircraft for which application for type certification is made after
April 9, 1997.
(d) Altimetry system error containment: Group
aircraft for which application for type certification was made on or before April 9, 1997. To
approve group aircraft for which application
for type certification was made on or before
April 9, 1997, the Administrator must find
that the altimetry system error (ASE) is
contained as follows:
(1) At the point in the basic RVSM flight
envelope where mean ASE reaches its largest
absolute value, the absolute value may not
exceed 80 feet.
(2) At the point in the basic RVSM flight
envelope where mean ASE plus three standard deviations reaches its largest absolute
value, the absolute value may not exceed 200
feet.
(3) At the point in the full RVSM flight envelope where mean ASE reaches its largest
absolute value, the absolute value may not
exceed 120 feet.
(4) At the point in the full RVSM flight envelope where mean ASE plus three standard
deviations reaches its largest absolute value,
the absolute value may not exceed 245 feet.
(5) Necessary operating restrictions. If the applicant demonstrates that its aircraft otherwise comply with the ASE containment requirements, the Administrator may establish an operating restriction on that applicant-s aircraft to restrict the aircraft from
operating in areas of the basic RVSM flight
envelope where the absolute value of mean
ASE exceeds 80 feet, and/or the absolute
value of mean ASE plus three standard deviations exceeds 200 feet; or from operating in
areas of the full RVSM flight envelope where
the absolute value of the mean ASE exceeds
120 feet and/or the absolute value of the
mean ASE plus three standard deviations exceeds 245 feet.
(e) Altimetry system error containment: Group
aircraft for which application for type certification is made after April 9, 1997. To approve
group aircraft for which application for type
certification is made after April 9, 1997, the
Administrator must find that the altimetry
system error (ASE) is contained as follows:
(1) At the point in the full RVSM flight envelope where mean ASE reaches its largest
absolute value, the absolute value may not
exceed 80 feet.
(2) At the point in the full RVSM flight envelope where mean ASE plus three standard
deviations reaches its largest absolute value,
the absolute value may not exceed 200 feet.
(f) Altimetry system error containment:
Nongroup aircraft. To approve a nongroup air-

craft, the Administrator must find that the
altimetry system error (ASE) is contained as
follows:
(1) For each condition in the basic RVSM
flight envelope, the largest combined absolute value for residual static source error
plus the avionics error may not exceed 160
feet.
(2) For each condition in the full RVSM
flight envelope, the largest combined absolute value for residual static source error
plus the avionics error may not exceed 200
feet.
(g) Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance
System (TCAS) Compatibility With RVSM
Operations: All aircraft. After March 31, 2002,
unless otherwise authorized by the Administrator, if you operate an aircraft that is
equipped with TCAS II in RVSM airspace, it
must be a TCAS II that meets TSO C-119b
(Version 7.0), or a later version.
(h) If the Administrator finds that the applicant-s aircraft comply with this section,
the Administrator notifies the applicant in
writing.
Section 3. Operator Authorization
(a) Authority for an operator to conduct
flight in airspace where RVSM is applied is
issued in operations specifications, a Letter
of Authorization, or management specifications issued under subpart K of this part, as
appropriate. To issue an RVSM authorization, the Administrator must find that the
operator-s aircraft have been approved in accordance with Section 2 of this appendix and
the operator complies with this section.
(b) An applicant for authorization to operate within RVSM airspace shall apply in a
form and manner prescribed by the Administrator. The application must include the following:
(1) [Reserved]
(2) For an applicant who operates under
part 121 or 135 of this chapter or under subpart K of this part, initial and recurring
pilot training requirements.
(3) Policies and procedures: An applicant
who operates under part 121 or 135 of this
chapter or under subpart K of this part must
submit RVSM policies and procedures that
will enable it to conduct RVSM operations
safely.
(c) Validation and Demonstration. In a
manner prescribed by the Administrator, the
operator must provide evidence that:
(1) It is capable to operate and maintain
each aircraft or aircraft group for which it
applies for approval to operate in RVSM airspace; and
(2) Each pilot has an adequate knowledge
of RVSM requirements, policies, and procedures.
