Where must the 'RVSM CERTIFIED' placard be displayed?

• A. On the cockpit door
• B. Under the captain's seat
• C. On the flight deck overhead panel
• D. Below the EICAS Display

Answer: (D)

The placard is placed where the flight crew can easily see it during normal cockpit checks and flight operations. Displaying the RVSM CERTIFIED placard below the EICAS display puts it in the central, unobstructed area of the instrument panel, within the pilots’ primary line of sight. This makes it quick to confirm the aircraft’s RVSM status without having to look away from primary flight information or reach to other locations. Placing it on the cockpit door, under the captain’s seat, or on/overhead panels would hinder visibility or accessibility and isn’t as reliable for a quick in-flight confirmation. The chosen spot keeps the information readily visible to both pilots at all times.
