FAA N 8900.505 Use of Automatic Dependent Surveillance—Broadcast (ADS-B) Out in Support of Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) Operations

This notice announces revisions to the Federal Aviation
Administration’s (FAA) requirements for application to operate in Reduced Vertical Separation
Minimum (RVSM) airspace. The FAA has amended Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 91 appendix G. The amendment eliminates the requirement for operators to apply
for an RVSM authorization when their aircraft are equipped with qualified Automatic Dependent
Surveillance—Broadcast (ADS-B) Out systems and meet specific altitude-keeping equipment
performance requirements for operations in RVSM airspace.
