Afi Rvsm

Guys,

Congratulations as this is one of the first positive foruns I have found on PPrune! Any way going back to the subject RVSM in Africa.
I do think it is a bit premature to be implemented!
Just look at FIRīs like Luanda or Kinshasa where some times you go for hours without any radio com or any traffic info/separation!!!!
If in the past 126,90 was important now it will be even more.
I sincerely hope that this move does not cause a major incidente/accident.
The responsability will once again bear in the shoulders of the flight crew, increasing significantly the allready high levels of stress and workload!
On the other hand, what about procedures, all the other RVSM areas like the NAT, EUR RVSM, EUR/SAM, PAC, have well prescribed procedures, specially contingency procedures. Does any one have the prescrived procedures for AFI RVSM?

Looking forward to get your thoughts,

FLY SAFE!
