ADS-B Out Eliminates RVSM Application Process
Final rule takes effect on January 22.

The FAA has enacted a rule to eliminate the requirement for operators to apply for an RVSM authorization when their aircraft are equipped with ADS–B Out systems. This final rule, proposed in August 2017, "recognizes the enhancements in aircraft monitoring resulting from the use of ADS–B Out systems and responds to requests to eliminate the burden and expense of the current RVSM application process,” the agency said. All 16 comments submitted on the NPRM supported the proposal.
