What is the altitude separation minima up to and including FL410?

RVSM, or Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum, is what this item tests. In designated RVSM airspace, en-route vertical separation is reduced to 1,000 ft between flight levels from FL290 up to and including FL410, assuming both aircraft are RVSM compliant. This is a reduction from the usual 2,000 ft separation used outside RVSM or above FL410. So the applicable altitude separation minima up to and including FL410 is 1,000 ft. Beyond FL410, the standard 2,000 ft separation generally applies.
