ASTRA AVIATION provides monitoring services RVSM for all types of air operators. With our professional and highly qualified staff, with more than 7 years of experience, we thus offer a fast and efficient service in the delivery of monitoring results.
RVSM HEIGHT MONITORING PROCESS
To verify that altitude systems are compliant with RVSM requirements, ASTRA uses a portable Global Positioning System (GPS) based monitoring system (GMU) developed for the FAA for RVSM monitoring.
An ASTRA RVSM staff specialist will bring the portable GMU, which is about the size of a briefcase, on board the aircraft prior to the flight.
Dual GPS antennas are installed with suction cups on cabin or cockpit windows to acquire GPS satellite telemetry.
The monitoring flight requires approximately 30 minutes of straight and level flight between FL290 and FL410.
