Hi,
Can anyone set me straight on Chinese RVSM? No, I'm not supposed to be flying through it anytime soon, I'm just doing some research.
Here is what I've managed to piece together:
-Begins at 8900 meters and extends to 12500 meters.
-Separation is 1000 feet but assigned in 300 meter increments
-When assigned a metric flight level in Chinese RVSM you use your conversion chart determine the flight level in feet then "add 100 feet" to determine what altitude to maintain
-The 100 feet are added to ensure 1000 feet of separation
-You must use a foot-calibrated altimeter while in Chinese RVSM
Is any of this information inaccurate? Is there anything else in particular I should know about Chinese RVSM if I was going to be asked some general questions about it? Any information is appreciated!
Thanks!
