Arctic RNP10 Separation Reduction Project

Oceanic Separation Reduction Work Group
The Oceanic Separation Reduction Work Group (OSRWG) was formed to address FAA's strategy to support the overall Oceanic Air Traffic Management (ATM) concept, including separation reduction and other airspace enhancements. This strategy is described in the Oceanic Strategic Plan. The OSRWG will be the decision making body for all oceanic separation reduction initiatives.

Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM)
The goal of RVSM is to reduce the vertical separation between flight level (FL) 290 and FL 410, inclusive, from the current 2000 feet minimum to 1000 feet minimum, in order to gain fuel savings and operational efficiencies.

Pacific Comm/Nav/Surveillance (CNS) Requirements/Options
Operators should access this section for operational policy and procedures required to operate in Pacific airspace where reduced aircraft separation standards and enhanced comm, nav or surveillance (e.g., CPDLC, RNP, ADS-C) are applied.
