Tables of Cruising Levels Sth of 65* S

[Mail-man]

Gday,

Just wondering if anyone knows why the table of cruising levels changes below 65*s

[40Deg STH]

Are you planning a flight south of 65 deg??????

Thanks D.A.

I posed the question purely out of interest.

I'm still wondering why they change west to odds etc, why not just greater vertical separation and keeping the rest fairly much as we all know it?

If non-RVSM levels were still odds and evens you'd end up with 3000 FT separation and lose more levels.

West / East
440 / 470
380 / 410
320 / 350
280 / 290
