**Table 2.1 -- RVSM Implementation Bay of Bengal and Beyond (within the
ICAO Asia Region)**

***Note 1***: "Exclusive" means non-RVSM approved aircraft may NOT
flight plan into airspace where RVSM may be applied. Aircraft that have
not received State RVSM approval may be cleared to operate in airspace
where RVSM may be applied in accordance with policy and procedures
established by the ATS Provider States provided that 2,000ft vertical
separation is applied. Some States may choose to allow non-RVSM State
aircraft to flight plan into RVSM airspace.

***Note 2***: "Single Alternate" indicates an assignment of levels that
complies with the RVSM Table of Cruising Levels. "Modified Single
Alternate" means the RVSM levels for the six major RNAV routes (L642,
M771, N892, L625, N884 and M767) in the South China Sea Region i.e.
FL320, FL340, FL360, FL380 and FL400. RVSM approved aircraft operating
on routes that cross the six one-way tracks would be assigned the
eastbound levels FL330, FL370 and FL410 or westbound levels FL310, FL350
and FL390 accordingly. Individual State AIPs describe the details.

***Note 3***: This Draft Operational Implementation Plan has been
developed as an indication of States' current implementation plans --
elements of this plan are subject to review by States.
