3 - MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES: INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTINUED
AIRWORTHINESS (ICA)
To ensure the continued airworthiness and height keeping ability of RVSM
approved aircraft the RVSM Responsible Person is responsible for ensuring the
following practices are accomplished:






Avionics components of identical part number may be interchanged freely
during the service lifetime of this airframe (subject to the requirements of this
RVSM Maintenance Program, the current version of the Citation Parts Manual,
or the applicable Instructions for Continued Airworthiness). If alternate
equipment part numbers are to be installed, the units must be analyzed on a
system level to determine if the new components are acceptable for RVSM.
NOTE: The TC holder will make this determination.
Cessna Citation Checklist calls out for the pilot to inspect the Pitot/Static
areas during the Preflight Inspection. It is imperative that prior to all flights in
RVSM airspace, the pilot visually inspects the RVSM Critical Region for
obvious damage or deformation to the skin surface.
Airframe, static systems and RVSM critical equipment should be maintained in
accordance with the airframe manufacturer's inspection standards and
procedures, and instructions for continued airworthiness as applicable
(including but not limited to the current revision of Cessna Citation
Maintenance Manual).
Any modification, repair, or design change, which in any way alters the initial
RVSM approval, will require a design review by Cessna and FAA engineering.
Any maintenance practices which may affect the continuing RVSM approval
integrity, e.g., the alignment of pitot/static probes, dents, or deformation around
static plates, should be referred to the approving authority or persons delegated
by the authority.
Only the current revision of technical publications will be used to accomplish
maintenance. Currency of Cessna’s technical publications may be verified at
cessnasupport.com
4 - REMOVAL / RETURN TO RVSM SERVICE PROCEDURES
When RVSM-critical equipment malfunctions are identified, the flight crew shall
reference the Aircraft Flight Manual and the MEL for allowable flight operations.
Refer to the RVSM Aircraft Flight Manual and Appendix A of this RVSM

 The RVSM Responsible Person or designee and Maintenance personnel will
advise the flight crew that all flight plans in RVSM applicable airspace will make
reference to RVSM non-compliance (Per FAA InFO 12001 (DATE: 1/18/12)
Non-RVSM aircraft must not file a flight plan with an RVSM equipment/capability
qualifier (i.e. W for ICAO flight plan)) and indicate that until corrective action
is accomplished, the aircraft is not to be operated in RVSM airspace. Flights
in RVSM airspace with a non-compliant aircraft are contingent upon prior ATC
approval.
 An entry will be made in the appropriate flight/maintenance record to indicate
the aircraft is not compliant with RVSM requirement until such time the
discrepancy(s) are corrected.
 A placard shall be placed on the aircraft instrument panel indicating the aircraft
is not RVSM compliant. The wording on the placard will conform with the MEL.
(example “ALTITUDE ALERTER INOP. FLIGHT INTO RVSM AIRSPACE NOT AUTHORIZED”).
 For the aircraft to become RVSM compliant, corrective action must be carried
out to identify the failure and/or malfunction of the affected component and
must be confirmed and repaired by maintenance action.
 Upon completion of corrective maintenance and testing, the RVSM
Responsible Person or his designee will ensure that the installed placard
indicating that the aircraft is not RVSM compliant is removed and an entry
made in the aircraft maintenance record, which will return the aircraft to RVSM
authorized status in accordance with FAR part 43.9. The maintenance entry
will include a statement that the aircraft is “RVSM Compliant.”
Should the aircraft be positively identified as exhibiting height-keeping performance
errors, the above five (5) bullets must be used to determine the corrective action.
Prior to release for operation in RVSM airspace, a height monitoring flight to verify
the airplane meets required height-keeping performance will be accomplished.
5 - MAINTENANCE TRAINING
LC Joint Adventures LLC does not provide in-house training for maintenance
personnel. Specific to RVSM, the Cessna Citation Authorized Service Center
personnel have received initial training regarding RVSM requirements. Cessna
