Exclamation RVSM in Russia

So as of today Russia goes RVSM.

Here is the link to the AIC in English.

My question is, I am guessing we fly the METERS assigned and not the feet which correlate closely to the meters as in China.

Just fly the meters, am I right? It doesn't say anywhere.

Above the transition level you fly feet (to be more exact, just regular flight levels), below - meters.

We are not happy at all - have to change from feet to meters relatively low...

I think the combination of mtr and feet is dangerous. Why donīt they change to feet/FL completely ?

Are you asking why the government is not doing things in most logical and reasonable way ?

Sorry, silly me.... at least you still got your humour...

Honestly, we saw a huge change for the better IMO during the last 1-2 years in Russia. I fly a lot in Russia and I start to like it. Got some directs recently, I mean, could you believe it?

If we could get immigration, customs, basically everybody with a large diameter hat to be a tad friendlier and asking everytime for the same, it would be a delight.

Yes I know, I ask the wrong things...
