Smile Russia change to ICAO Flight level allocation scheme and RVSM on November 17, 2011

No change to Qfe altimeter setting procedures below the Transition Level that I am aware of...However, on November 17, 2011 Russia and the Common Wealth of Independent States will implement Reduced Vertical Separation Minima Airspace between FL290 and FL410. Also at the same time the implementation of the International Civil Aviation Organization Flight Level Allocation Scheme will take place for altitude assignments above the Transition Level and the assignments will be in feet, not meters. For example: FL360
