RVSM Communications is considered as a key program control process that will contribute to the stakeholders achieving the agreed implementation date. The AFI RVSM Program Office will ensure timely and appropriate generation, collection, dissemination and storage of program information.
 
As the national RVSM activities are critical to the timely success of the AFI RVSM program, progress monitoring at the national level will be of great importance. In order to achieve a consistent monitoring picture at the program level, National Program Managers will provide accurate and timely information regarding the achievements of each National RVSM Plan.
