RVSM
CAUTION: OBEY THE ALLOWABLE DAMAGE EFFECTIVITY PER WEIGHT VARIANT AND AIRCRAFT TYPE GIVEN
IN TABLE 102.
A. General
This Paragraph deals with allowable damage and repair limits around static ports, Pitot probes, total air temperature
probes and angle of attack sensors.
NOTE: These aerodynamic limits are in compliance with the reduced vertical separation minima (RVSM) requirements.
NOTE: These limits address the aerodynamic aspect only and should be used in conjunction with the allowable
damage limits for the affected areas given in the relevant topic, which address the structural aspect. The lowest value
found, using both the aerodynamic and the structural limits is to be considered as the maximum allowable.
NOTE: In case a damage affects a port/probe/sensor and another port/probe/ sensor simultaneously, the lowest
determined value of the two allowable limits must be used as the maximum allowable limit to ensure good aerodynamic
performance.
NOTE: Refer to Paragraph 23. ’Weight Variant Information’ in the INTRODUCTION of the SRM. Tables in the
subparagraphs give necessary data about all weight variants and their required information for allowable damage and
repair applicability.
