RVSM Citation 2

[B222]

For those techies out there, in addition to having dual digital altitude sensing systems fitted, what else is required to have a 1990 Citation 2 cleared as RVSM compliant ??

RVSM, Equipment required

Airworthiness approval for RVSM may be granted by the appropriate State Authority to individual aircraft, or to a group of aircraft that are nominally identical in aerodynamic design and in items of equipment contributing to height keeping accuracy.

The minimum equipement standard is embodied in the MASPS (Minimum aircraft system performance specification) for RVSM operations. THe MASPS require:

Two fully serviceable independent primary altitude measurement systems. (2 x CADC)

One automatic altitude control system. (auto-pilot)

One altitude alerting device.

I hope this helps

Thank you, BIK_116.80 and FuelFlow

RVSM for C550

From SB550-34-79;
1. AM250 RVSM Baro Alt installed in the copilots instrument panel.
2. Standby Alt is installed as standard equip. This Alt was originally located in the copilots AM250 instrument panel location.
3. Baro Alt installed in the pilots instrument panel is slaved to the AZ-252 RVSM ADC.
4. AM250 Alt displays baro corrected Alt and senses static press.
5. Amber warning lights annunciate in the AM250 Alt and the pilots slaved Alt when the Alt deviation exceeds the deviation limits.
We will prob get ours done at the next phase 5 (Apr 03).
