It is important that the MAAR has accurate Point of Contact (POC) information of the States concerned (i.e. Civil Aviation Authority and Air Navigation Service Provider) for RVSM-related correspondance. States are therefore requested to submit a completed Form F1 to the MAAR. Thereafter, there is no further requirement unless there was a change in the POC information already submitted.
