The only RVSM Lateral Offset info I could find dealt with overwater routes. I just googled it Fred and read both the FAA and ICAO rules which pretty much read the same. I'm flying NON RVSM so......I usually get to go where I want, albeit at FL270/280. At least its mask off-isphere at those altitudes. First post fellas, great board, esp for us military guys looking at options.


This is where I found the most helpful FAA guidelines

http://www.faa.gov/ATpubs/AIM/Chap4/aim0406.html

Section 6. Operational Policy/Procedures for
Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM)
in the Domestic U.S., Alaska, Offshore Airspace
and the San Juan FIR

4-6-7.......para d

d. Pilot Action to Mitigate Wake Turbulence Encounters

1. Pilots should be alert for wake turbulence when operating:

(a) In the vicinity of aircraft climbing or descending through their altitude.

(b) Approximately 10-30 miles after passing 1,000 feet below opposite-direction traffic.

(c) Approximately 10-30 miles behind and 1,000 feet below same-direction traffic.

2. Pilots encountering or anticipating wake turbulence in DRVSM airspace have the option of requesting a vector, FL change, or if capable, a lateral offset.

NOTE-
1. Offsets of approximately a wing span upwind generally can move the aircraft out of the immediate vicinity of another aircraft's wake vortex.

2. In domestic U.S. airspace, pilots must request clearance to fly a lateral offset. Strategic lateral offsets flown in oceanic airspace do not apply.

e. The FAA will track wake turbulence events as an element of its post implementation program. The FAA will advertise wake turbulence reporting procedures to the operator community and publish reporting procedures on the RVSM Documentation Webpage (See address in paragraph 4-6-3, Aircraft and Operator Approval Policy/Procedures, RVSM Monitoring and Databases for Aircraft and Operator Approval.
