Pacific Approvals Registry and Monitoring Organization - PARMO
In order to support preparation for the implementation of the
Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) in the Pacific Region, the
Asia/Pacific Air Navigation Planning and Implementation Regional Group (APANPIRG) has
established a regional monitoring agency. This agency, the Pacific Approvals Registry
and Monitoring Organization (PARMO), is located at the United States Federal Aviation
Administration's William J. Hughes Technical Center.
A regional monitoring agency is a necessary and integral part of
RVSM implementation as is stated in ICAO guidance.
Principal duties and responsibilities of the PARMO include:
- To establish and maintain a central registry of State RVSM
approvals of operators and aircraft using the Pacific Region airspace where the RVSM will be applied;
- To facilitate the transfer of approval data to and from
other RVSM regional monitoring agencies;
- To establish and maintain a data base containing the
results of height keeping performance monitoring and all altitude deviations of 300 ft or
more within Pacific oceanic airspace;
- To Provide timely information on changes of monitoring status
of aircraft type classifications to State authorities and operators;
- To assume overall responsibility for administration of the
Global Positioning System based Monitoring System (GMS) and for assessing compliance of operators and aircraft
with RVSM height-keeping performance requirements in conjunction with RVSM introduction in
the Pacific Region;
- To provide the means for identifying non-RVSM approved
operators using Pacific Region airspace where the RVSM is applied; and notifying the appropriate
State approval authority; and
For information on Pacific Region RVSM please visit the FAA Pacific RVSM Website. This website contains briefings,
documentation and guidance materials for the RVSM efforts in the Pacific region.
