The International RVSM Program is designed for Part
91 or 135 corporate operators, this course is 8 hours.

a RVSM manual is to be followed in order to operate
and fly a corporate jet efficiently through U.S. or
International Airspace. The program also covers
normal RVSM Operations and Contingencies for
Domestic and International Operations. Finally, this
program will include performance based navigation
procedures for WATRS plus, RNP-10, RNP-4, RNP-5
(B-RNAV), RNP-1 and RNP-2. Once successfully
completed, a certificate will be granted for Interna-

The North Atlantic is the busiest oceanic
airspace in the world. In 2004 more than
370,000 flights crossed the North Atlantic and
annual traffic growth rates are between 5% and
10%. Characteristically in the North Atlantic,
Direct Controller Pilot Communications (DCPC)
and Radar Surveillance is unavailable. Aircraft
separation assurance and safety are enforced
by demanding the highest standards of
horizontal and vertical navigation performance
and accuracy. Within NAT MNPS Airspace a
formal approval process by the State of
Registry of the aircraft or the State of the
Operator ensures that the aircraft meets
defined MNPS Standards and that appropriate
crew procedures and trainings has been
adopted. The North Atlantic Training Program is
8 hours total and consists of the most recent
critical issues that are present today in the
North Atlantic.

The Master Minimum Equipment List is developed during aircraft certification process. During this process MMEL procedures are developed to allow the continued operation of an aircraft with specific items of equipment inoperative under certain circumstances. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has found that for particular situations an acceptable level of safety can be determined with specific items of equipment inoperative for a limited period of time, until repairs can be made. The MMEL document describes the limitations that apply when an operator wishes to develop a Minimum Equipment List. The MMEL is used as a starting point in the development and review of an individual operators MEL.
Individual MMELs to specific aircrafts can be downloaded at the FAA Web page Flight Standards Information Management System
