1.The Autopilot is a required aircraft equipment for RVSM airspace
operation. Manual flying inside the RVSM airspace is:
approved with Flight Director Guidance only
approved only for level changes
approved only for level flight not approved

2.You are operating inside the RVSM airspace. The co-pilot's main
altimeter fails, but the standby and the LH main altimeter are working properly. You aircraft is still RVSM operational:
false
true

Da für die RVSM Operation 2 unabhängige primery altimeter benötigt werden, muss man einen ausgefallenden primären Höhenmesser ATC melden und ggf. den RVSM Airspace verlassen.

An automatic altitude-control system should be operative and engaged during level cruise,
except when circumstances such as the need to re-trim the aircraft or turbulence require
disengagement. In any event, adherence to cruise altitude should be done by reference to
one of the two primary altimeters. Following loss of the automatic height keeping function,
any consequential restrictions will need to be observed.

Question P7: If I lose one of my primary altimeters, can I stay RVSM compliant by using my standby altimeter?
Answer: Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) LEAFLET No. 6, Revision 1, provides a Minimum Aircraft Systems Performance Specification (MASPS) for altimetry to support the use of a 300 metre (1000 feet) vertical separation minimum. The RVSM MASPS specifies that two operating primary RVSM-compliant altimeters are required for flight in the European RVSM airspace. Otherwise, the aircraft is rendered non-RVSM approved, and the pilot is required to notify ATC as soon as possible. The use of the standby altimeter instead of two primary altimeters does not meet the RVSM MASPS requirements.
