Reduced vertical separation minimum is the reduction, from 2,000 feet to 1,000 feet, of the standard vertical separation required between aircraft flying between flight level 290 and flight level 410. Expressed in the International System of Units , it is the reduction, from 600 m to 300 m, of required vertical separation of aircraft between altitudes 8,850  and 12,500 m. This reduction in vertical separation minimum therefore increases the number of aircraft that can fly in a particular volume of controlled airspace.
