Collaborative Decision Making

Domestic RVSM Sub-Team

The U.S. Domestic RVSM Program is a key element of the FAA’s National Airspace System (NAS) Operational Evolution Plan (OEP). The DRVSM program is listed in the OEP as an “En route Congestion” project.
Domestic RVSM Goals:
Develop and implement traffic flow management strategies/plan in support of DRVSM implementation in 2005. Develop and implement strategies/plan to mitigate the compression of aircraft that may plan into a particular sector or airspace due to the availability of 6 additional flight levels. Identify and implement strategies/plan to monitor and manage the impact of multiple non-RVSM approved aircraft operating in the system at one time. Develop and implement strategies/plan to de-conflict primary and secondary traffic flows to increase efficiency and maximize en route flexibility.
Time commitment estimate:
Approximately 2-3 day meetings every 6 weeks through July 2004. This will include meeting time set aside during the CRWG / CDM meetings. The dates of the CRWG/CDM meetings are September 9-11, October 8-10, November 5-7, Jan 20-22, 2004, March 2-4, April 27-29. Future Domestic RVSM Workgroup planned meetings are identified as the last reported item of the most recent Workgroup meeting report.
