National Simulation Capability Reduced Vertical Separation Minima. Phase I. Result Report.
The Reduced Vertical Separation Minima (RVSM) experiment resulted from the North Atlantic (NAT) System Planning Group's conclusion to carry out studies aimed at achieving early implementation of RVSM in the NAT Region. RVSM is an approved International Civil Aviation Organization concept to red...
