With RVSM about 2 weeks away from reality in Africa, I just wonder if the PPRUNERS out in the sticks would like to let us know how prepared the countries they operate in, are for this (for Africa) major change.
I have asked several staff members of flight plan offices in Nigeria what RVSM is, what must be in Field 10 in the ICAO flight plan and what will the new flight levels be. The answer usually is "HU what’s that". They have so far had no training at all
My view is that the same answers will come from DRC, Sudan, etc, etc, etc and it will not be nice to hear.
Any ideas how the different operators are doing with the old 73's, 72's and even newer aircraft?
Any news if some countries will be opting out of RVSM
These first days after the night of the 25th will be hairy scary.
Looking forward to a nice informative chat on this subject, that worries me a lot
