UAE RVSM Issues Mk XXIV
What's this, I read, in today's hand down offering?
UAE centre will, from now on, accept incorrectly FPLed aircraft through their airspace at RVSM levels (without being pushed down to non-RVSM levels) so long as surrounding units can confirm that the concerned aircraft is, in fact, RVSM approved.
To the saner heads that finally put this issue to rest, a hearty "thank you" from those whose jobs are made less onerous and whose airspace is made safer because of the reduced workload.
And to those who think that now is a good time to be careless about filing a correct plan and checking to see that it gets to all the right units, think again. A little professionalism goes a long way to making the system safer.
