Flight Level - Flight Levels in Russian Federation

Flight Levels in Russian Federation

On 5 September 2011, the government of the Russian Federation issued a decree №743, pertaining to the changes in the rules of use of the country's airspace. The new rules came into force on 17 November 2011, introducing a flight level system similar to the one used in the west. RSVM has also been in force since this date.

The following table is true for IFR flights:

180 5500 18000
200 6100 20000
220 6700 22000
240 7300 24000
260 7900 26000

Track 000 to 179°
FL METERS FEET
10 300 1000

70 2150 7000
90 2750 9000
110 3350 11000

The new system would eliminate the need to perform climbs and descents in order to enter or leave Russian airspace.

Famous quotes containing the words flight, levels, russian and/or federation:

    “Its shrill scream seems yet to linger in its throat, and the roar of the sea in its wings. There is the tyranny of Jove in its claws, and his wrath in the erectile feathers of the head and neck. It reminds me of the Argonautic expedition, and would inspire the dullest to take flight over Parnassus.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Pushkin’s composition is first of all and above all a phenomenon of style, and it is from this flowered rim that I have surveyed its seep of Arcadian country, the serpentine gleam of its imported brooks, the miniature blizzards imprisoned in round crystal, and the many-hued levels of literary parody blending in the melting distance.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Women realize that we are living in an ungoverned world. At heart we are all pacifists. We should love to talk it over with the war-makers, but they would not understand. Words are so inadequate, and we realize that the hatred must kill itself; so we give our men gladly, unselfishly, proudly, patriotically, since the world chooses to settle its disputes in the old barbarous way.”
    —General Federation Of Women’s Clubs (GFWC)
