requirements for LLDs for the Asia Pacific Region that would align with other ICAO regions. PARMO suggested that the MAWG considered the process used in the North Atlantic (NAT) for reporting lateral deviations. The simplest practice for the ATSPs was to record and report all lateral deviations, regardless of the deviation magnitude (except where Strategic Lateral Offset Procedure (SLOP) was correctly applied). The EMA and/or Scrutiny Group would then review and determine whether each reported deviation qualified for inclusion in the risk estimates, based on the information provided in the LLD report. The concept of Lateral Infringement Distance (LID) was introduced as a determining criterion depending on the location of the deviation and filed flight plan information. Using this method, no minimum reporting threshold was required. 2.7 The meeting extensively discussed whether this approach was possible for the applicable portions of the APAC Region. The meeting agreed to ICAO’s suggestion to incorporate the LID table, when finalized, into the APAC EMA Handbook. The meeting also agreed with the Chair’s suggestion for the EMAs to consider the LLD reporting criteria from ATSPs - if the LLD reporting criteria should be any deviations greater than 5NM (previously proposed by JASMA) or deviations of all magnitudes (currently used in the NAT), then submit papers to discuss at RASMAG/30. RASMAG Safety Bulletin 2.8 During the MAWG/12 meeting, JASMA presented the proposal for the content of “Crew/Team Resource Management” as the third issue of the RASMAG Safety Bulletin. It was scheduled to be agreed at RASMAG/30 and released in 2025. The proposed draft was provided in a separate working paper. RASMAG/30 − WP/03 14 – 17/07/2025 4 3. ACTION BY THE MEETING 3.1 The meeting is invited to: a) note the information contained in this paper; b) communicate changes to the new RVSM MMR version 2025 (paragraph 2.1) as detailed in Attachment 1 (WP/13 from RMACG/20) with aircraft operators; c) forward the invitation of the ASE Technical Interchange Meeting in the Attachment 2 (IP/21 from RMACG/20) to any entities which might be interested in attending; and d) discuss any relevant matters as appropriate. — — — — — — — — RMACG/20-WP/13 15/05/2025 International Civil Aviation Organization WORKING PAPER REGIONAL MONITORING AGENCIES COORDINATION GROUP TWENTIETH MEETING (RMACG/20): (Bangkok, Thailand, 19 to 23 May 2025) Agenda Item 3: Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) Monitoring Groups and Minimum-Monitoring Requirements (MMR) 3.1 MMR maintenance management RVSM Minimum Monitoring Requirements Update (Presented by EUR RMA) SUMMARY The 2024 RVSM Minimum Monitoring Requirements (MMR) Chart was reviewed by EUR RMA and NAARMO, who prepared a list of recommended amendments to the MMR for 2025. The MMR table is presented in Attachment A. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. The Regional Monitoring Agency (RMA) Manual (ICAO Doc. 9937; 1st ed. 2010) prescribes on- going quality control checks of operator fleets, also known as Long-term Height Monitoring (LTHM) requirements. The instrument which best describes these requirements is the MMR chart, which does appear in the RMA Manual but is also revised when necessary during the RMA Coordination Group meeting. 1.2. The MMR continues to be maintained outside of the RMA Manual, so that any developments such as new aircraft, new avionics, and new insights into improvement or failure in achieving the goals in the MMR can be addressed without engaging the requisite cost and slowness of a publishing cycle for the Manual. All RMAs have access to the MMR via a Knowledge Sharing Network (KSN) available only to RMAs. 2. DISCUSSION 2.1. New entrants to the Civilian MMR RMACG/20-WP/13 - 2 - a) Piper Meridian M700 Fury, manufacturer code PA-46-701TP, to be added to the MMR as a new Monitoring Group PA-46-701. While part of the PA-46 series, the new PA-46-701TP has different characteristics than the older models in the series, including a faster cruise speed and a different SSEC. For this reason the PA-46-701TP is added to the MMR in a new Monitoring Group, not as an addition to the existing PA-46 group. This addition to the MMR is requested by NAARMO. 2.2. Changes to existing Monitoring Groups in the Civilian MMR 2.3. Existing Monitoring Groups investigated to determine if it is appropriate to change their current monitoring category. It is accepted practice to place new aircraft types, or variants, in Category 2 until sufficient data is available to confirm overall group compliance as well as long term ASE stability. This period is generally accepted to be a minimum of two years. It is also possible to demote aircraft groups from Category 1 to Category 2, however this should only be considered if there are clearly identified generic performance problems, with sufficient representative monitoring data to confirm non-compliance with group performance requirements. In these circumstances a formal investigation should first be initiated with the appropriate certification authority as well as the airframe manufacturer. a) At the present time there are no aircraft in Category 1 which are being considered for moving to Category 2. At the present time there are no aircraft in Category 2 which are being considered for moving to Category 1. b) The FA6X was entered as a prototype into Cat 3 at RMACG/16. The aircraft is now in normal operation. Although there is not a significant number of airframes in service, the data available indicates that the aircraft can be moved into Cat 2. 2.4. New entrants to the Military MMR a) The following variants are new military designations which are recommended for addition to the military MMR in Cat 3. E11 (a modified version of the GLEX/Gl6T), E7A (full description E7A- B737 Wedgetail) and E7T (full description E7A- B737 Peace Eagle). 3. ACTION BY THE MEETING 3.1. The Meeting is invited to: (a) note and review the contents of this working paper; (b) review Attachment A, the MMR, for any clarifications needed for RMACG endorsement; (c) agree that Eurocontrol and FAA continue their work on the MMR; (d) agree that all RMAs participate in the annual MMR review session at the RMACG; (e) ask RMAs to contribute monitoring data to the annual review; and (f) discuss any other relevant MMR matters as appropriate. — — — — — — — — Version: 2025.1 1 Date: 23 May 2025 RVSM MONITORING GROUPS AND MINIMUM MONITORING REQUIREMENTS AS OF: 23 May 2025 Version: 2025.1 1. UPDATE OF MONITORING REQUIREMENTS TABLE AND WEBSITE. As significant data is obtained, monitoring requirements for specific aircraft types may change. When Table 1 below, is updated, a letter will be distributed by the Regional Monitoring Agencies (RMAs) to the States concerned. The updated table will be posted on the RMA website being maintained by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The secure website address is: http://portal.icao.int 2. INITIAL MONITORING. All operators that operate or intend to operate in airspace where RVSM is applied are required to participate in the RVSM monitoring program. Table 1 establishes requirements for initial monitoring associated with the RVSM approval process. In their application to the appropriate State authority for RVSM approval, operators must show a plan for meeting the applicable initial monitoring requirements. 3. AIRCRAFT STATUS FOR MONITORING. Aircraft engineering work that is required for the aircraft to receive RVSM airworthiness approval must be completed prior to the aircraft being monitored. Any exception to this rule will be coordinated with the State authority. 4. APPLICABILITY OF MONITORING FROM OTHER REGIONS. Monitoring data obtained in conjunction with RVSM monitoring programs from other regions can be used to meet regional monitoring requirements. The RMAs, which are responsible for administering the monitoring program, have access to monitoring data from other regions and will coordinate with States and operators to inform them on the status of individual operator monitoring requirements. 5. MONITORING PRIOR TO THE ISSUE OF RVSM OPERATIONAL APPROVAL IS NOT A REQUIREMENT. Operators should submit monitoring plans to the responsible civil aviation authority and the RMA that show how they intend to meet the requirements specified in Table1. Monitoring will be carried out in accordance with this table. 6. AIRCRAFT GROUPS NOT LISTED IN TABLE 1. Contact the RMA for clarification if an aircraft group is not listed in Table 1 or for clarification of other monitoring related issues. An aircraft group not listed in Table 1 will probably be subject to Category 2 monitoring requirements. 7. TABLE OF MONITORING GROUPS. Table 2 shows the aircraft types and series that are grouped together for operator monitoring purposes. 8. TABLE OF NON-GROUP AIRCRAFT: Table 3 shows the aircraft types and series that are Non-Group aircraft (i.e., Not certified under group approval requirements) for monitoring purposes. 9. TRAILING CONE DATA. Altimetry System Error estimations developed using Trailing Cone data collected during RVSM certification flights can be used to fulfill monitoring requirements. It must be documented, however, that aircraft RVSM systems were in the approved RVSM configuration for the flight. 10. MONITORING OF AIRFRAMES THAT ARE RVSM COMPLIANT ON DELIVERY. If an operator adds new RVSM compliant airframes of a type for which it already has RVSM operational approval and has completed monitoring requirements for the type in accordance with the attached table, the new airframes are not required to be monitored. If an operator adds new RVSM compliant airframes of an aircraft type for which it has NOT previously received RVSM operational approval, then the operator should complete monitoring in accordance with the attached table. 11. FOLLOW-ON MONITORING. Monitoring is an on-going program that will continue after the RVSM approval process. Long term minimum monitoring requirements are established in the Annex 6 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. On a regional basis, a programme shall be instituted for monitoring the height-keeping performance of aircraft operating in RVSM airspace in order to ensure that continued application of this vertical separation minimum meets regional safety objectives.

INTRODUCTION 1.1. In recent years, the FAA and EUROCONTROL have hosted a number of ASE Workshop events. In 2016 and 2017 the FAA hosted events at their facility in Atlantic City, NJ. In 2023 EUROCONTROL hosted an event at their facility in Brussels, Belgium. 1.2. The FAA and EUROCONTROL would like to continue to conduct these events, in order to continue dialogue with air traffic service providers and industry on increased general awareness, improved remediation methodologies, and new developments. 1.2.1. The next event is the ASE Technical Interchange Meeting, which will be jointly hosted by the FAA and Eurocontrol during the period of 9-11 September 2025 at the Edgewater Hotel in Seattle, WA. The proposed meeting format will include presentations by government and industry. Extracurricular team- building activities are also planned. Attachment A includes a flyer planned for distribution to invitees. 2. OBJECTIVES 2.1. A list of potential topics of discussion includes: RMACG/20-IP/21 - 2 - • The possibility of extending RVSM above FL410 • Ongoing height monitoring and performance issues • ASE trends for specific aircraft types • Confusion about Section 9 approvals in the United States • Spoofing of ADS-B or GPS • Issues with older avionics and work to correct them • Work on avionics for new aircraft to improve RVSM capability upon entry into service 2.2. Previous events had a greater focus on the roles and responsibilities of governments and Regional Monitoring Agencies, and detailed information about ASE detection, causes, and analysis. This event is intended to invite a greater focus on the role of industry, as well as highlight new emerging topics relevant to the safe operation of RVSM airspace. The new topics of discussion proposed for this event are intended to increase awareness and invite collaboration on solutions. 2.3. Invitations to the event are currently being sent. All RMAs are invited to attend the event, and are requested to forward the information to any entities which might be interested in attending. 3. ACTION BY THE MEETING 3.1. The meeting is invited to note the information in this paper and in Attachment A. — — — — — — — — RVSM A l t i me t r yS y s t e m E r r o r ( A S E ) T ech n i cal I n t er ch an geMeet i n g F L 420 F L 430 F L 440 F L 450 F L 460 Edgewat erHot el 2411Al as kanWay S eat t l e,WA98121 naar mo@f aa. gov Eur RMA.
