What is the maximum overshoot for RVSM?

(iv) When changing levels, the aircraft should not be allowed to overshoot or undershoot the cleared flight level by more than 45 m (150 ft). If installed, the level off should be accomplished using the altitude capture feature of the automatic altitude-control system.

Hence RVSM ends at FL410. Aircraft certified after 1997 actually have tighter altimetry system tolerances. But the airspace structure must accommodate aircraft certified prior to this period. Furthermore, there is really no need to extend RVSM airspace, since airspace in the 40s is relatively empty.

Thus, FL420 is not a valid cruising level anywhere globally, and you cannot plan to fly at that altitude. This error is common on VATSIM, however, you may only operate in level flight at FL420 with a “block” altitude clearance.

Operating in RVSM airspace requires a working autopilot at all times. An autopilot failure leads to the loss of RVSM capability.

A Primary Radar System. Typically located on the control tower or other strategic location on the airport, the Primary Radar antenna is able to detect and display aircraft that are not equipped with or have malfunctioning transponders or ADS-B.

If the restricted area is active and has not been released to the controlling agency (FAA), the ATC facility will issue a clearance which will ensure the aircraft avoids the restricted airspace unless it is on an approved altitude reservation mission or has obtained its own permission to operate in the airspace and so ...
