STATEMENT OF WORK FOR FLIGHT CREW TRAINING

October 2, 2026

I. BACKGROUND. NASA operates a fleet of diverse aircraft in support of the Agency’s missions. They include variants of commercial aircraft. For these commercial aircraft, NASA is seeking Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) pilot qualification/type-rating, simulator, maintenance, and associated emergency training services for NASA flight crew and maintenance personnel.

II. SCOPE. The contractor shall, upon Government requisition, provide personnel, facilities, and training materials to conduct COTS academic and simulator training for the aircraft specified below. No changes in the scope of the services shall be undertaken without the explicit authorization of the NASA Contracting Officer.

Boeing 777-200ER Boeing 737-700

III. AIRCRAFT TRAINING REQUIREMENTS. For the aircraft types listed in Paragraph II, the contractor shall, upon request, provide the training courses described below. Pilot initial, recurrent, and requalification courses shall include academic and simulator training consistent with the contractor's standard commercial course offering and applicable FAA requirements.

Initial, Recurrent, and Requalification Pilot Training.

• The initial course shall provide the academic, simulator, and practical-test preparation necessary to qualify a pilot previously unqualified in the aircraft for issuance of the applicable FAA aircraft type rating. Training shall include all instruction, simulator events, evaluations, and practical testing normally included in the contractor's commercial type-rating program. The course shall include a flight review or instrument competency check in accordance with Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR (14 CFR)) Part 61 Section 58.

• The recurrent course shall be an FAA approved training program and culminate in a 14 CFR 61.58 Proficiency Check.

• The requalification course shall provide for the re-qualification of a pilot previously qualified in the aircraft type but who no longer satisfies the requirements of a current qualified pilot.

Initial and Recurrent Maintenance Training Initial maintenance training shall be sufficient to fully qualify maintenance personnel on all procedures for maintaining the aircraft. Simulator training, as required, shall focus on ground operations and emergency procedures for purposes of maintenance troubleshooting and servicing. This training shall incorporate all applicable provisions of FAR 39, 43, and 65.

Recurrent training, incorporating ATA 104 Level III recommendations, is to update the maintainers of the service changes introduced by the aircraft manufacturer and to enhance the maintainers’ technical knowledge through instructor-lead, scenario-based, troubleshooting and systems reviews. This training shall incorporate all applicable provisions of FAR 39, 43, and 65.

Dry Ditching with Vests

Training shall be offered for groups of flight crew, ground crew, and/or Qualified Non- Crewmembers in the equipment and processes necessary to conduct emergency egress of the aircraft.

Emergency Slide Training

Training shall be offered for groups of flight crew, ground crew, and/or Qualified Non- Crewmembers in the proper operation of emergency slide for aircraft types identified in Paragraph II.

Fire Suppression Training

Training shall be offered for groups of flight crew, ground crew, and/or Qualified Non- Crewmembers in the operation of emergency fire suppression equipment and processes for aircraft types identified in Paragraph II.

Additional Simulator Training This training is for simulator training (priced per simulator hour) in addition to simulator time included in the Initial, Recurrent, and Requalification Pilot Training described above, including supplemental proficiency, remedial, familiarization, or other simulator training requested by NASA.

IV. OTHER TRAINING REQUIREMENTS. The contractor may also, upon request, provide the following training:

Domestic Reduced Vertical Separation Minima (RVSM) training International Procedures training (initial and/or recurrent) Controller-Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) training Cold Weather Operations training

V. DELIVERABLES. Upon successful completion of training, the contractor shall provide each student appropriate course completion, qualification, proficiency, and/or FAA certification documentation, as applicable to the training provided. Documentation shall identify, at a minimum, the student's name, course completed, applicable aircraft type (when relevant), date of completion, and training provider.

VI. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS.

A. TRAINING FACILITIES.

Training courses shall be available to NASA students at any of Contractor’s training facilities that are capable of conducting the training described in this SOW.

The contractor shall provide permanent training facilities with classrooms, instructional equipment, environmental controls, and other resources appropriate to the training being conducted and conducive to learning.

If Computer Based Training (CBT) is included as part of the FAA approved syllabus, the contractor may allow this training to be completed remotely (i.e., at a site other than the vendor’s facility).

B. TRAINING PROCEDURES.

Training materials shall consist of appropriate aircraft publications, which provide, at a minimum, detailed information on flight planning, normal and abnormal and emergency procedures, aircraft systems, checklists and academic outlines.

Simulator training shall be accomplished utilizing FAA Part 142 Certified, Level C/D, full flight simulators with visual systems.

Simulator cockpits shall be capable of interchangeability among various aircraft configurations to closely reflect the general configuration of the aircraft used by each trainee. Exact replicas of the aircraft actually used by trainees are not required, i.e., standard commercial cockpit configurations are acceptable.

Training shall conform to the contractor’s commercial programs, courses, curricula, manuals, and practices.

C. INSTRUCTOR QUALIFICATIONS.

At a minimum, instructors of each course shall be highly qualified in aviation/aircraft maintenance and have specific flight/maintenance experience in the training course offered.

Simulator instructors shall be FAA FAR 61, 141, or 142 certificated flight instructors as appropriate and shall maintain currency as specified by the appropriate FARs.

D. SCHEDULING OF TRAINING.

The contractor shall coordinate with NASA, the scheduling of specific dates for the occurrence of training activities. These dates shall be reserved with the contractor in advance, for scheduling purposes only; however, the Government is in no way obligated to issue task orders for the reserved dates. Training shall only be conducted for NASA students with a formal requisition issued by the designated Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).

NASA retains the right to cancel or postpone any scheduled training activity or participant with a minimum of five (5) business days prior to the scheduled commencement.

For any scheduled training facility closure that will preclude meeting the requirements of this SOW in excess of 30 days, the contractor shall notify NASA’s designated Contracting Officer or COR 60 calendar days prior to the closure.

E. ALTERNATE SOURCES OF TRAINING

The Government reserves the right to seek training defined in this SOW through contract vehicles other than this contract with other training vendors as required.
